"Manitoba New Democrats are promising to boost funding for the LGBT community in Manitoba if they are re-elected April 19.

The increased funding includes expanding surgical coverage for transgender Manitobans. The provincial government under the NDP would cover more services including: phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, electrolysis, and tracheal shaves, procedures involved when a person is transitioning from one gender to another.
