GA Surgery: 18 on paper, 20 in practice (#128)

Send us Fan MailInsurance says surgery is covered at 18, but the process tells a different story. In this episode, one mom breaks down what she's learned chasing gender-affirming surgery access for her daughter, including a wait list that pushes actual surgery closer to age 20, and international options she's researching in parallel, with hopes of having it done before college. The conversation also digs into the surprising challenge of changing a name, even one chosen since birth, and a tense blood draw at a lab tied to a hospital system that once pulled back trans care.If you’re taking something away from our podcast, we’d appreciate it if you’d take a moment to provide us with a review; the more listeners and reviews, the more people we can reach and support.As always, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
