University academics: Taxpayers should fund transgender 'tweak' surgeries like hair removal
(THE COLLEGE FIX) – A pair of medical academics at Canada’s Dalhousie University recently opined that Canuck taxpayers should fit the bill for “minimally invasive” gender-affirming surgeries such as “voice feminization” and hair removal.
The editorial by Katie Ross and Sarah Fraser in the Canadian Medical Association journal CMA notes such publicly funded procedures are currently only available in two Canadian jurisdictions, and so-called gender-affirming care suffers from “substantial wait times and care gaps.”
“The 2022 World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care Version 8 […] states that along with hormonal therapy for people wishing to transition, hair removal and facial surgeries are appropriate interventions for gender-affirming care,” they write. “Minimally invasive procedures such as facial injectables and hair removal warrant consideration for public health care funding across Canadian jurisdictions.”
