Please, Stop the Madness

From what I understand, elective surgery is not usually covered by insurance,  and that these particular cases would be considered elective surgery.  I've read that individuals wanting gender reassignment surgery are required to meet very stringent criteria,  before such surgery will be performed.

I see a different scenario in the case of intersexed children who are born with ambiguous genitalia, and arbitrarily assigned a gender by their parents and doctors.  If that assigned gender doesn't fit them when they're grown, I think a case could be made for requiring insurance to pay for fixing a trauma that was done to them when they were too young to consent.
