There was an mtf in the military up here, he had the courage to come out and face the system. They even paid for it and all the therapy and such. The military said they would pay for anything that the provinces normally would so obviously some stuff (such as FFS) is not covered.

Rooting around as discreetly as I can, I can find no other information on this person's case, probably for good reason, but I feel it would help a lot if I could go and ask for some of the benefits that she got for us in the military. This would take off some of the financial burden anyway. Most people think I am very lucky that our military would pay for it, but accessing it is not that easy.

Another problem is a change of command within the my military a couple of years ago I think might have forced a change of perspective.

Jenny acouple of years ago in the UK I think around three or four military personal had GAS paid for by the British Army. I thought Canada like the UK and here in NZ the government funds a certain amount of GAS's per years...through the national health service?

I have never heard of that before, as far as I know it was only the one person in Canada about ten years ago and the case attracted negative criticism from a variety of groups.

Wow, I wish Canada was like this, it would make it a lot easier. How hummm. I am going to call one of the therapists in the nearest city today to see if they can recommend one here, they would know, hopefully.

Jenny I am new here and this is my first post. I realize this is an older thread but I hope you are still watching it. Did you ever get your questions about the CF policies on transexuals and what medical issues they'll cover answered? There have been quite a few TS men and women go through the system in the CF now and I am currently transitioning within the CF myself. I'd be happy to talk to you about this if you still are looking to talk with someone. I am too new to be able to PM you but maybe you can pm me?

I'll also chime into this ancient thread. I was the eighth member of the CF to transition, and I did so waaay back in 2003, with surgery in 2005. I don't have any actual numbers, but I'm quite sure we're well in excess of 50 now, prolly much more than that. I've met more than a few other CF MilTrans. Not all of them have been successful transitions.

Please note that you would need to send an email to receive the actual survey link.   Seeking Interview Participants for Research Study on Digital Spaces of Transgender Belonging What is the Study About? Over the past several decades, the Internet has fundamentally changed how trans people form community spaces, explore gender identity, and practice community care.

What Does It Involve? A brief (five minute) screening survey, later followed by a virtual interview lasting approximately one hour. You will receive $75 after participating in an interview as compensation for your time. Your participation in this interview is completely voluntary. If you choose to participate, you will be asked to reflect on your history with trans online communities and resources. Data Usage and Confidentiality Policy This research study is being conducted as part of a Ph.D. dissertation, which will be published. Raw or identifiable data, including interview transcripts and recordings, will not be made publicly available. Analysis from this study may be presented publicly or included in future publications.

      This will head for a court case and the notable fact that the people opposing puberty blockers is that they have not revealed their source and its competence.  It will be present the evidence and let your "experts" sit on the grill above the hot coals.

      Pretty typical for many nations.... corrupt police, and only great effort by the victim's family will eventually yield prosecution.  Conviction is uncertain, and sentencing even more so.

      Welcome to Trans Pulse, Bobbi.  It's nice to meet you.  I remember well all the emotions you mentioned upon starting on this journey, about 15 years ago now.  It's an exciting, albeit scary time, and there will be many questions and decisions along the way.  Any way we can help, all you need to do is ask.  We'll be here for you.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      Everyone is their own person and has their own way of operating in the world. Being “enough” isn’t for anyone to judge, outside of maybe our closest loved ones, and definitely not those that are trying to measure themselves high by cutting others down. They know I wouldn’t succeed for very long—or at all—keeping my life bifurcated as you, but I am happy you are content with where you’re at with yourself.

      My kids are grown now.  I realize I don't know the half of what they did.  But my parents didn't know the half of what I did either.  It's just how it works.   You kinda know, but please spare me the details.

      @MaeBe, Good luck and best wishes on the new start in the Great Northwest. I don’t know a parent that didn’t call out their kids for being drunk or high as rebellious teenagers. I just told my teens that they can’t kid a kidder, and I was a teenager early 1970s we could drink legally at 18 so I have tons of experience spotting drunk kids.    As for the poetry, I liked it.  We never have enough support bras or tee shirts in the rotation.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Oh my @KymmieL, I’m sorry you’re on the job hunt again. They didn’t seem to be a good fit for you anyway. You deserve to be treated fairly and not undermined by competing owners who don’t communicate well.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
