Whether health insurance, some of which is funded by taxpayers, should be forced to pay for sex change operations depends on whether one believes the claims of men/women who say that they are really women/men.
- icebraining 9y agoWell, no, not really. Sex reassignment therapy serves to help people who have gender dysphoria - that is, their assigned sex and gender at birth do not match their gender identity. As you can see in that definition, nowhere does the concept of whether they are "really women/men" enter the picture.
- TheCoelacanth 9y agoWhether or not you think they are really women/men is not relevant to any form of health insurance. What matters is whether or not gender dysphoria is a real disorder and whether or not sex change operations are an effective treatment for that disorder. The objective evidence, I believe though I am not an expert in that area, points to yes for both of those questions.
