A full range of state medical coverage for low-income transgender people will be offered for the first time starting early next year.

The Health Evidence Review Commission, a 13-member board charged with setting Oregon Health Plan priorities, made that decision Thursday during a meeting in Portland.

The decision was hailed by advocates, who called it an historic step toward equality in medical care.

Key new additions to the coverage include cross-sex hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery.

"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

Well, it looks like my home state is becoming more welcome to me every year. I guess I might move back when I finish college after all.
