Why is the title of this thread 'Our tax dollars go to creating this' ??
I'm pretty sure our health care system doesn't pay for sex change operations, although admittedly and thankfully, I'm no expert on the subject :-\
Varies throughout Canada but, in Ontario, candidates must "live" as the opposite gender for 2 years, and go through an assessment process with CAMH in Toronto before anything will even be considered. After that, if the reccomendation is to allow you to switch teams, then it is indeed paid for through OHIP. My guess is that the justification is more of a "mental health" call than anything else, but I am no expert, either. Oh, and no unattached male on this site would tell the girl in the OP to get lost, if they did not already know she was a transgendered person. I dare say that more than a few would not care, regardless.

I'm going with the assumption that you just googled that and didn't know this before this thread started...

Oh, I knew the broad strokes, but went to google for the Ontario specific portion (ie the visit to CAMH). Other provinces will go with what your family doctor plus an independent physician recommend. I just pick up minutiae as I go through my day and never forget it. The sex change thing came up years ago when the some folks were bitching about men having to pay for their PSA tests.

Fair enough. If it wasn't for trivial information, I wouldn't know anything at all!
It can get quite annoying at times. You'll catch a snippet of a question, someone will look over at you, and you give them the correct answer . . . and it's about something like which type of coffee is brewed with beans that are taken from monkey poop (Kopi Luwak, or Civet coffee). then people look at you, like . . . how do you know this stuff? It's why know on plays Trivial Pursuit with my brother and I anymore.

But probably a big improvement IMO

Have to agree with you on this one.

Will have all the penis she wants.
Yeah, maybe if we add all of ours together.
Those were my thoughts exactly JohnnieH. Get out of my brain.
But it's so roomy in there.
Are you insinuating that I have a massive brain? Ya, that's how I'm going to interpret it. Thanks Hobbes, I always knew you admired me
