Regulators in Oregon and California have quietly directed some health insurance companies to stop denying coverage for transgender patients because of their gender identity.
The states aren’t requiring coverage of specific medical treatments. But they told some private insurance companies they must pay for a transgender person’s hormone therapy, breast reduction, cancer screening or any other procedure deemed medically necessary if they cover it for patients who aren’t transgender.
The changes apply to companies insuring about a third of Oregonians and about 7 percent of Californians, but not to people on Medicare and Medicaid or to the majority of Californians who are insured through a health management organization, or HMO.
Advocacy groups said the action is a major step forward in their long battle to win better health care coverage for transgender Americans. …

of course they will
they have the media and government schools and leftists encourage kids into homosxuality while banning parents from trying to get psychological counseling for those kids to help them become normal
I know. Sickening and evil. Parents who take charge of their own sons (remove them from public schools) are saints. They are going after the boys. It’s horrific.
Parents and grandparents have to wake up and remove their sons from public school control NOW!
If they go all the way and have a phallioplasty it's going to be odd to have something there that wasn't there originally.
A lot of DES sons are like that - they have a very strong feeling of being a woman trapped in a man’s body and a desire to do feminine things, but nonetheless they’re sexually attracted to women and not men. DES as a treatment for miscarriage was typically given throughout the second and third trimester of pregnancy, which is when most sexually dimorphic brain development takes place. The doses used were well above what is required to chemically castrate an adult man, and I think it had the effect of shutting down their testosterone production throughout the time their mothers were being given the stuff, with the result that most of their sexually dimorphic brain development went down the female pathway instead of the male one.
In normal male development, there’s a further surge in testosterone production that starts shortly after birth and continues for about 4-6 months, after which the testicles go into a dormant state until puberty. Presumably that is driving a further phase of sexually dimorphic brain development, and I suspect that must be when whatever the brain circuitry is that drives sexual orientation is formed. I think that for many of them, their endocrine system recovered sufficiently to generate that postnatal testosterone surge, with the result that the postnatal part of their sexually dimorphic brain development went down the male pathway. I’ve joined an online support group for DES sons, and reading through the message archive I’ve noticed that amid all the girly chat you often see quite odd-looking male things popping out in what they say. I think for most of them it isn’t a simple case of being a woman trapped in a man’s body, but instead, like me, they’re a hybrid of woman and man. In general they seem to have undergone a lot more female brain development than I have though, which is one of the reasons (along with my mother’s medical history) I think that, although I was born during the DES era, I’m probably not a DES son myself.
For anyone who’s interested and wants to know more, I’ve posted some comments in an earlier story about a transsexual basketball player who shows all the signs of being a DES son:

I don’t think the problem is limited to DES either, I think that ANY artificial hormones given during pregnancy have the potential to interfere with the normal functioning of the steroid hormone system and cause misdirected development in the unborn child. See my comment (no. 30) in

I saw a pic of Chaz Bono without “his” shirt on. It looked weird to see the chest where her breasts once were.
You’d probably gasp at how horribly deformed it looks. Two big ‘ol flaps of skin sewn back on the body.

It’d be one HELL of an adjustment!
Menstruation is the hardest part of being a woman,at least from my POV.
I’m a bit of a Tomboy who wears T-shirts and basketball shorts although I do get all gussy-upped when I need to.
And I honestly think I am one of the very few women who still wears pantyhose. Seriously. Can’t go without ‘em.
Most young single women avoid menstruation completely by skipping the placebo week on their birth control pills. I suspect that is a big part of the reason for the push for free birth control pills. I have to wonder what the long term effects of such practices might be, though.
The transgendered men, I mean women, on the other hand, struggle with the makeup and the hair. No matter what they did, they could not make themselves attractive, so they gave up. Pantyhose, they didn’t mind.
