Title: University of Pennsylvania includes tras-related treatments for students
Post by: Dana Lane on April 15, 2010, 07:01:39 AM

I have been lobbying for the staff version of this for Penn and am thrilled transgender students will be able to have their surgery through our insurance policy. It appears the staff version is going to get approved! They say it will be a bit different than the student version and I am hoping that they will include some FFS. I am SO excited!

If you want to see what I told the council you can see it on my Facebook page.

*laugh* well, any reason for me not to try to transfer up there? What's the school like?

And congratulations, you've done a wonderful thing that will no doubt help hundreds or more over time.

I have never taken classes here at Penn but I simply adore it here. I have been here for about 10 years now and couldn't imagine going somewhere else.
