Yeah, because you could always be fired for a stupid thing if they don't want a trans person there, so how can you fight it? It's kind of hard. Though, I believe we ARE protected in employment, so why would an employer want to hire us if they fear getting rid of us if we don't work out is a possible outcome?
I have Tufts Health Plan through the Mass Connector. They are covering my breasts in three weeks too. Great, great plan.
Ah, I see. Yeah, she can't move forward if she has those barriers. I left my job because I wanted to move on and start over. She'll have to do the same, or transition in the job. On and off at work is no way to live. She needs 100% liberation from this male role.
Guess that's true, but I feel like in Mass most people don't care. At least at the hospital I work at there's multiple out transitioning people, no one cares. My boss is a lesbian and no one cares. Maybe in Central mass there's some discriminatory people, but Eastern and Western Mass seems to be relatively safe.
They covered the SRS too? How much did you pay for that?
That'll be her choice to make, if she ever feels confident.
Oh, that reminds me, I had my surgery done at the BMC. I know you asked about that.
Yeah, I am from a redder town myself in the southern part of Massachusetts. Most seem quiet. I heard in my Community College that one of the girls in the honors club gave me a stink eye and said negative things about me before to a friend of mine. It's always nice knowing those people have the gull to speak about you behind your back, but play it pretty in front of you.
The overall cost was 41k. I had to pay like 60 bucks out of pocket. ---
