A number of universities have expanded health care benefits in recent years to cover sexual reassignment surgery for transgender students and employees, a move some see as an obligation for institutions with nondiscrimination policies that cover the population.
"Anyone who attempts to play the 'real transsexual' card should be summarily dismissed, as they are merely engaging in name calling rather than serious debate."

Good article.  I like the idea that university non-discrimination policies (hopefully) imply a need to include transition coverage as part of the health insurance, and the numbers about premiums vs actual cost is a point in our favor.
