Aetna to Expand Coverage for Gender-Affirming Surgeries

Aetna Agrees to Expand Coverage for Gender-Affirming Surgeries One of the nation’s largest health insurers is agreeing to pay for breast augmentation for some trans women.

Oklahoma Wants to Make Gender-Affirming Care a Crime

The transgender pride flag. © Wikimedia Commons Oklahoma lawmakers have introduced a new bill that would make it a felony to provide gender-affirming medical treatment, other than counseling, to anyone under the age of 21. Such treatment can alleviate gender dysphoria and postpone puberty to give children time to explore their gender identity. The bill would punish doctors, parents, and even children themselves with penalties of up to life imprisonment. Oklahoma’s bill is extreme, taking autonomy away from young adults and imposing draconian punishments, and is part of a worrying larger trend. Across the US, state lawmakers are once again introducing a slew of bills that seek to block transgender children from accessing healthcare, sports, and support in schools.
