Like the nation's top private companies, colleges and universities are removing discriminatory transgender exclusions from their health insurance plans in order to provide more inclusive insurance for students and staff.

On many campuses today, much of the activism is centered on transgender and genderqueer issues, such as adding gender identity to the school's non-discrimination policy and implementing gender-neutral housing and locker room facilities. A newer area of focus is ensuring that health insurance policies provide transgender-inclusive coverage. Even the American Medical Association recognizes the need for transgender benefits and passed a resolution supporting health insurance coverage for treatment of gender identity issues.
