    No you don’t, because you want me to be forced to pay for it.

    If my life circumstances were different I wouldn’t have ever been able to afford transition and I would be dead by now.

      Just like my aunt had to pay $130,000 for a kidney? I don’t know what country you’re in but yes that is how the American healthcare system works, you pay for the procedures you want/need. I genuinely meant no disrespect with the article, but healthcare isn’t a right for any Americans, especially free healthcare.
