It came in as registered mail. This was good news of course, so when I'd received the notice, I ran down to the postal outlet to collect the envelope that would have news about my eligibility for surgery. I knew what the letter should say because of a conversation with Alberta Health a couple days prior, so I was pretty excited. I was to be one of the "46″ (we still can't figure out who is all included in that number) who was to be grandfathered through before funding for Gender Reassignment Surgery (GRS) would be completely cut off. And then the girl behind the desk at the postal outlet said, "I need to see some ID."
