Title: Few gay rights groups insure for sex changes
Post by: LostInTime on February 06, 2007, 09:24:22 AM
Last month, one that slipped through (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/31/BAGC5NS2V11.DTL)

As large companies expand health benefits for transgender employees, few civil rights organizations for the gay, lesbian and bisexual community have followed their lead.

Representatives of several gay rights groups said they have too few employees to negotiate for transition-related benefits and that the benefits would significantly increase the costs of their insurance premiums.


And a blog posting (http://nctequality.blogspot.com/2007/02/just-symptom.html) about this.
