Here's some interesting news about health insurance companies covering transition-related costs according to Joanne Herman at HuffPo (although I do wish the word "transgender" weren't used when "transsexual" is the more accurate term. Plenty of transgender people don't want or require medical intervention, like genderqueer people and crossdressers and the many transgender people who don't want different genitals (for a variety of reasons).
It becomes more & more difficult to be inclusive of the wide range of transgender people when an article by a transsexual person about transsexual people uses the term transgender, i.e. for the people who do not medically transition.
