Тред №295324

Если хирургическое изменение пола - благое деяние (а опостылевшие гениталии - зло), то почему бы голоду Беркли не отсыпать Бабла на борьбу с этим злом!
Налогоплательщики, может быть, будут оплачивать эти операции (она стОит до $50000)
Делать будут в порядке подачи заявок.

Кто может участвовать - кто хоть год прожил(а), напялив личину противоположного пола или
лечился(ась) гармонной терапией
 


Berkeley taxpayers may pay for sex-change surgery (The Associated Press)

BERKELEY, Calif.—The Berkeley City Council has postponed a vote on a proposal to use taxpayer money to pay for sex-change operations for city employees.
Council members on Tuesday decided to delay a final decision on the issue until Feb. 15.

The proposal calls for the city to maintain an annual $20,000 fund for gender-reassignment surgery, which can cost up to $50,000. The money would be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Berkeley health insurance providers Kaiser Permanente and Health Net don't pay for the procedure under the city's current health plans.

To be eligible for the fund, employees would have to have lived as the opposite sex for at least one year and undergone hormone therapy. They also would have to have worked for the city at least a year.
