Hi! I am a Trans-woman & just joined. I am a late blooming flower child of the '60's in transition.  Well versed in all things trans as I have been dealing with this since the 50's.  Hope to be able to share my experiences and learn from others.


What brought me to the site was a search for info RE: Medicare & SRS.  I was initially thrilled to learn that Medicare had removed the exclusion for coverage of SRS last year.  I started calling surgeons & didn't have to spend too much time at that task before learning that none of the experienced surgeons in the USA accepted Medicare.  I have a supplemental policy that covers what Medicare doesn't and thought I had found a way to get this accomplished.  Then read on this site that Medicare only covers roughly 10% of the cost of the surgeon's fee. Thus no surgeon will participate  (at least not that I have found "yet").

Isn't the collusion between the Fed. Government & the Insurance Co.'s just amazing.  Oh well!  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Not giving up!  Just a little (or a lot) sad.

Hugz,

Joi

Hi Joi, Welcome 
I too am of the 50's... but didn't realise till sometime in the nineties that GID existed, and after many years, guilt trips and self denial on the final road now...

Look forward to sharing stories over time, BTW was born in the UK, migrated to Australia mid eighties... 

Glad to have you onboard...
