North America's first women-only pharmacy has quietly reversed its controversial "women born women" policy to allow transsexual women through its doors.

On Jan 16, the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC), which operates Lu's: A Pharmacy for Women at 29 E Hastings St, made the decision to drop its "women-born" policy to include women who "self-indentify," says April English, a volunteer member of the collective.
