So this person will have what is called a penile-sparing vaginoplasty, is only available in Texas.
Why our state does this is beyond me. Why Canada thinks this is the taxpayers responsibility is beyond me. Doctors that do this are messed up. These liberal judges are messed up.
Wow. Just wow. They're basically paying to have a permanently open wound in this guy's body.
Think of all the actually needed surgeries that are declined by insurance. Yes, this is the Canadian taxpayers, but I'm sure it won't be long until this garbage happens here.

A non-binary Canadian's $70,000 gender-affirming surgery - that will see her keep her p*n*s and get a vag*n* constructed - will be fully funded by taxpayers, a top judge ruled.
K.S., who was born a male at birth, uses female pronouns but does not identify as either fully male or fully female, according to documents from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, reviewed by DailyMail.com.
The 34-year-old, who is only identified by her initials in the legal filing, sued the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in 2022 after the company denied her request to pay for the cost of surgery to construct a 'neo-vagina' at a clinic in Texas.

She wanted to build a female sex organ in the gap between her scrotum and an*s - while also keeping her fully-functioning male sex organ.
Now, the brunt of the $70,000 for surgery and flights to the US will fall on Canadian taxpayers after a landmark win in court.

The insurer argued the surgery cannot be publicly funded because the vaginoplasty would not be accompanied by a penectomy and is therefore not a procedure listed on its schedule of benefits.
The company, which is run by President and CEO Matthew Anderson, also argued that the procedure is considered experimental in Ontario and not eligible for coverage, the appeal, submitted on April 22, said.
K.S. then appealed the denial to the Health And Services Appeal and Review Board - who then overturned OHIP's initial decision, arguing that it should be covered even if a penectomy is not performed.
