intersexed
One of my friends who knows I'm intersexed just got a job at t-mobile and was telling me of their exceptionally liberal health insurance policy. She mentioned that both my prostate and OB/GYN care would be covered, and that they'd even cover therapy and SRS. This sounds way too good to be true for a US company. I know that t-mobile is owned by a german group, and that many europeans tend to be more open-minded and liberal about this sort of thing, but covering SRS, therapy, HRT, and the whole schebang 100% in one of their US companies? Sounds kinda fishy. Oddly enough, I have a potentially good chance of getting work there due to my past work experience... but with all this talk of super-duper health benefits, I'm wondering if my friend (who is usually spot-on with things like this and very rarely makes such statemens without some research to back them up) just mis-heard something or is smoking something... she says she's checked several times, but I'm just not sure... help?
