transHey TGLJ!
I work for a worker owned company in San Francisco of about 240 workers. A small group of us are trying to develope a proposal for our company to include transgender healthcare as part of our benefits. Our HR department is really good about supporting trans workers access to hormones etc., but does anyone have experience bringing a company into a more complete system of care for trans folks?
Our company has a good track record of trans support (we have several trans people on staff who are well respected) but we are trying to:
-figure out the logistics: Should we basically ask the company to pay out of pocket for things like SRS, orchiectomy, or should we try to appeal to our insurance company?
-Pre-empt discussions about what to include: what's a good way to approach procedures that are seen as "cosmetic" like breast enlargement or FFS?
Again, our company tends to be pretty trans-positive, but I slightly dread conversations about this stuff with cis people. Any info or feedback would be great.
Thanks!
