Trans Canadian Military Dress Codes, Transgender Insurance Coverage, etc. [trans news]



From the National Post:
As U.S. politicians continue to debate whether to let gays serve openly in the American military, the Canadian Forces have issued a new policy detailing how the organization should accommodate transsexual and transvestite troops specifically. Soldiers, sailors and air force personnel who change their sex or sexual identity have a right to privacy and respect around that decision, but must conform to the dress code of their “target” gender, says the supplementary chapter of a military administration manual.

In other transgender news, according to Joanne Herman, more employers are going to start covering transgender surgeries, but new hurdles are to be expected.

Also, Brian Katcher, a 35-year-old Missouri dad, has won the second Stonewall children's book award for his tale of transgender love.

transguy panel: paying for surgery

i get many questions about how i paid for my surgery, and different ways to go about getting the funds. i did a small panel with two other transmale friends asked them about their experiences too.



how did you pay for your surgery? did you host a benefit or some other kind of party? did you use a CD to save?
