I'm a reporter at The Oregonian in Portland, Ore. I'm working on a piece about the first year of Oregon Health Plan covering benefits related to gender dysphoria. Have you tried to access (or successfully accessed) care for dysphoria-related benefits this year through OHP? I'd love to hear from you! I'm especially hoping to hear from people outside the Metro area who are using CCOs in rural organizations about how their process has gone. You can be off the record if you prefer. I just want to make sure the article reflects as many trans* experiences as possible. My email is
