Kroger becomes the nation's largest retailer to offer this benefit [gender reassignment therapy]
Cincinnati Business Courier ^ | October 13, 2015, 7:29am EDT

Kroger Co. is the nation’s largest supermarket chain, and now it’s claiming another title, Forbes reports.

The Cincinnati-based grocer (NYSE: KR) will begin offering transgender workers full health benefits on Jan. 1, including surgery and drug therapy for gender reassignment. The move makes Kroger, the nation’s fifth-largest employer, the largest retail chain to offer such benefits to its employees.

The change in benefits was announced on an internal social media site on Friday after consulting with the company’s GLBT associate resource group called the Alliance of Kroger.

According to the announcement, the company’s employee insurance through Anthem will cover medical procedures for gender reassignment up to a $100,000 lifetime maximum for eligible associates and their dependents.

I wonder how much this little benefit will do to increase the cost of their healthcare?

So, do I shop at Kroger because they are OK with open and concealed carry, or do I boycott them because they support LGBT nonsense? I’m so confuuuuused....

If Dillon’s (Kroger’s name in this area of the country) offered the best prices and selection I’d shop there anyway. However they couldn’t compete locally, I’m assuming because they’re financially stupid so I don’t have to worry with them anyway.

And all the other workers are paying for it in the form of higher premium payments.

No Krogers in Pittsburgh either (the unions drove them out of town screaming 30 years ago).

Decided that he was really a woman after thinking he was a man for 50 years, the redneck Kroger butcher went to his doctor and told him that he wanted to change his name from Ed to Edwina.

The doctor told him that there was a procedure called `transgender surgery’ that could fix the problem.

The doctor instructed him/her to go home, get a cherry bomb, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.
He/she said to the doctor, “I may not be the smartest guy/gal around, but I don’t see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me — I don’t want to go deaf!”

So, he/she got a second opinion. The next physician was just about to tell him/her about the procedure for mutilating oneself, when he noticed that the man/woman was really stupid.
This doctor instead told him/her/it to go home and get a cherry bomb, light it, place it in a beer can, hold it to his ear and count to 10.

Figuring that both learned physicians couldn’t be wrong, the man/woman/creature went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can.

Ed held the can up to his ear and began to count, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . .”, at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and resumed counting on his other hand . . .

Almost accepted a position as their Director of Benefits at the Corporate HQ earlier this year. Dodged a bullet.

Look on the bright side: those who are getting a mangina will no longer be in the gene pool. Or gene puddle as may be the case.
