Library board says no to transgender benefits

Cincinnati/By Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati City Hall Reporter , Local 06/14/2016

"Cincinnati's public library Tuesday stood by its previous decision not to cover an employee's transgender transition surgery, citing costs.

Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County Library employee Rachel Dovel, who legally changed her name from Nathan last year, brought the issue to light earlier this year after her insurance declined to cover gender confirmation surgery. The board initially declined to change their policy."
