Interesting article on HuffingtonPost Transgender Surgery is Deductible; Medical Coverage Coming reporting on yesterday's ruling by the US Tax Court that sex reassignment surgery is not cosmetic and therefore is a deductible medical expense.
The suit was brought by GLAD, and they are not finished. As the article points out, the goal is to have transgender surgery covered by medical insurance, mandated like IVF is mandated in Massachusetts. And if surgery to make the body look like the other sex is mandated, of course the genetic engineering to enable the person to procreate as the other sex will be also.

And this has what to do with SSP Mr. Howard?? MH.
A person who has transitioned to the other sex will require the exact same kind of technology to reproduce as their new gender, with someone of the new 'other' gender, that a same-sex couple would require to reproduce together. The only difference is that the same-sex couple still both 'identify' as the same sex.
We already include IVF and fertility treatments as mandated coverage in Massachusetts. So a trans man would have to be covered if he wanted to reproduce with a woman, we'd have to not only allow him but pay for him to have artificial sperm created.
Well, we LGBT always stand in one line. "We do support each other to get more rights just as equal as others.." said on the forum of --B i M i n g l e . c o m -- Anyway, we will get and learn more from it. Hope the world is beautiful for LGBT too.
Actually, the "one line" you are talking about is not the line that most gay or transgendered people are in. Most gay people would rather have federal recognition and equal protections via civil unions than equal procreation rights or the right to procreate as either gender. That so many gay people are standing in the wrong live with the Postgenderists is tragic and criminal. There are many thousands of children who would benefit from their parents having equal protection, but you are screwing them over.
LMFAO! As usual Howie your out in left field! Or in your case; "right" field. No, we don't want federal "recognition" via civil unions, we want federal acknowledgment via M-A-R-R-I-A-G-E as well as SSP rights when the procedure finally becomes a reality. Guess this is what happens when heteros think they know oh so much about us fags! Geeeez, the next thing your gonna be tellin' us Howie is that we all secretly desire to have our pee pee's cut off so that we can become females, right? I mean after all it only makes all the sense in the world right?!? lMFAOROFL!!!! MH.
