Thread: The Defeat of Clair...Forever? (Natsu Dragneel and Omako)

Your Dragonair already seems to have accepted that job, I suggest you follow her lead. He spanked her again, one finger now moving down to toy with her asshole as he continued to fuck her. Nidoking, meanwhile, pulled back, now between the Pokemon's legs as he began to prod her pussy.

Clair was trying hard not to accept it as she says in between moans. You used Attract... She gets the idea of putting Dragonair back in the Pokball as she gets the Pokball D-Dragonair come back .. The Pokemon goes back as she looks at Trev. Attract doesn't work if it gets called back then resummoned. She brings it back. Use Dragon Pulse! Dragonair comes back as she uses Dragon Pulse on Nidoking.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

I am transgender and I deserve equal healthcare as anyone else. Click to expand... This was the facebook post that stopped me from scrolling and had me raising an eyebrow. The post linked this change petition , which I took a look at so I could get a bit of an explanation on why they wanted something that is technically considered a cosmetic surgery to be covered under a health insurance plan. To summarize the petition The problem is, there are two different groups of chemicals one causes the bodyDNA to become male and the second causes the physical neuronal structure of the brain to become male. If a developing fetus is exposed to either set of chemicals without the other, the baby will be transgender. Since males and females had different evolutionary purposes before the advent of modern society, different areas of their brains are more or less active - for example, men tend to process information visually and think in practical terms, while women tend to process information through readingwriting and think in abstract terms - and these varying levels of activity between lobes of the male and female brain can be readily observed by fMRI. Health insurance providers should require nothing else to provide these suffering human beings with the surgical procedure that they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Click to expand... So I read that, and I'm still scratching my head. I could probably do a bit of research, but I thought I'd have a much more stimulating conversation about it here. Right now, my stance is neither for nor against...though there is a single question in mind Is it truly required to switch your genitals to live a healthy, fulfilling life? I have heard Hormone Replacement Therapy can be covered under health insurance, but sometimes it can't. That's true with a lot of things, because health providers have the freedom to pick and choose what they want to cover. Is it really necessary to force HPs to cover a surgery that isn't really saving an endangered life but rather making them feel more fulfilled? What about liposuction? There have been studies that have proven obesity can be hereditary, though I have never heard of HPs covering the procedure because it's considered cosmetic. And obesity is actually life threatening. I would love to hear more opinions on this. On a side note, I'm kind of annoyed with my friend for saying she deserves equal health care...she is getting it, and there are things that aren't covered for non-transgendered population as well as the transgendered.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

I'm not sure whether they deserve it or not. What I do know is that if mental aberrations are treated with physical surgery, then I'm next in line so my mental aberration will shut up about how we need scales and wings. I usually find the notion of a 'slippery slope' to be the last-resort excuse when all else fails, but here the line seems appropriately placed. Physical maladies are treated by doctors and surgeons. Mental ones by psychologists and therapists. Otherwise, yes, an anxiety sufferer who wants a subdermal sheathe of experimental bullet-stopping armor is completely justified in expecting it to be done. By the state. I love the dude in this video. 'There is no box', indeed. You can be whatever gender you want to be - Irregardless of what's in your pants. You can switch gender daily, based on your mood. THe social rule is that others must be accepting of this now, and with good reason... But it weakens the argument that you NEED appropriate bits to be fulfilled. No, you just think the bits are a key part of the box. The one that doesn't exist.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

I'm kind of torn. But if they aren't covered I can sort of see why because gender is not limited to your physical body and genitals, and typically the surgeries are to fix this and alter features so that they match the biological sex they wish to have. Their physical health is not at risk by not having the surgery, therefore it is not crucial and typically... insurance companies will only cover certain surgeries. Hell I recently heard of someone who's health insurance wouldn't cover a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor because they deemed it a non-crucial surgery. Some could argue that mental health is just as important as physical health but either way most surgeons who do gender reassignment surgeries require the individuals to get a clean bill of mental health before undergoing the process. It's not good to have the mentality that I will only be happy if I can have this surgery. I think the person must first make a transition and be content with who they are in case the surgery cannot happen for one reason or another.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

I'm going to have to say no. It's not that transgendered people don't 'deserve' a sex change operation or that I'm not making an effort to understand what it may feel like to be a gender internally and another physically. For the most part, I just suppose that it's not an operation that they are entitled to. For the most part, HPs will assist in medical procedures that are for the betterment of one's health. That being said, I suppose the main question would be, 'Is a sex change operation beneficial to a transgendered person's mental andor physical health?' It's not really something that can be easily monitored or determined with some sort of test, as I'd imagine it would be skewed by the sense of euphoria that they would be feeling due to acquiring something that they've wanted for a while. Perhaps after they've had time with their operation and for things to settle down, then it could be determined whether or not it has made much of a difference in their lives. Yes, it's almost indisputable that physical gender can affect the hearts and minds of people, especially while still in mental development stages as shown with Freud's analysis on Penis Envy and Oedipus Complex. However, these relate to the primal sexual nature of mankind rather than the more emotional level on which is generally disputed as being the important part of a transgendered person's gender identity. If such is the case, I personally don't believe that a sex change operation would qualify as anything more than an elective surgery to try. I mean, I myself show general observatory qualities of females such as enjoying readingwriting quite a lot and thinking in abstract ways more-so than practical. Have I ever thought to myself that I'd like to be a woman temporarily? Yes. Was it purely for sexual reasons? Yes and no. Sometimes of course, but at others, I merely find myself wondering what impact it would actually have on my emotional state and how the different chemical balance in my body would affect my thoughts and ideas. Overall, though, it merely seems like a waste of time to me. It's similar to looking back to past events and daydreaming of 'what could have been'. It's more important to live in the moment or perhaps look to the future rather than dwell on what could have been. Even if you have the option to change the past doesn't necessarily mean that you should. It's less-so something I see as immoral and more-so a procedure I find unnecessary and generally only available to pander to one's Ego and self-confidence much like plastic surgery.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

Well, to refer back to something from the original post... and just to clarify I'm not accusing you of being wrong here, since I did see it was a quote. I'm just taking the ammo out of the handgun before someone figures out the code to the gun-safe. The problem is, there are two different groups of chemicals one causes the bodyDNA to become male Click to expand... Flat out not true - gender reassignment does not alter your DNA in any way whatsoever. Frankly it's not even possible, let alone legal if it was given that you have to go through about fifteen years of testing to be allowed to grow genetically modified rice outdoors. source The difference between male and female is decided even before conception, female egg cells and male sperm cells are both haploid -i.e. they contain half the amount of DNA required to make a viable human cell that can proliferate. Eggs cells contain an 'X' chromosome which is universal in both females and males alike. Sperm cells can either contain a second 'X' chromosome, or a 'Y' chromosome, and they have a roughly 5050 chance of being either one or the other. The sperm and the egg cell combine DNA and produce either an 'XX' cell which will result in a female child or a 'XY' cell which will result in a male child. That's basic sex ed. Getting back a bit more on topic though, reading through that petition the first thing it says is that a transgender nature is not a mental health problem. And there's your answer - it's not a problem with health, so health insurance shouldn't cover it, right? Well, no. A lot of transgender people suffer from depression, suicidal tendencies and a state of fear due to lack of acceptance and understanding. source Now those things mentioned above are definitely a good reason for health insurance to pay out, as it has become something that directly and negatively effects mental well-being, and possibly physical well-being since stress can be a precursor to many other issues. Now I don't know how it works in the USA which is where your petition seemed to be based but in the UK we have the NHS - which is essentially government funded health insurance. Part of the service they provide is the ability to choose a treatment that is right for you, or at least to have your opinions and preferences considered and weighed in before a treatment is suggested. So why is it so unreasonable to think that the solution to depression resulting from not matching up to your birth assigned gender mentally, would be a surgery to realign the two? If surgery and hormones are what it takes to make a healthy, happy person who is free of other mental afflictions which arise due deep distress, that is a health issue, and health insurance should cover it.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

Haha, Demie that was what I quoted directly from the petition. I thought you were against it for a moment because you disproved something the petition directly stated. Reading the responses, I am not really against the petition myself. I just personally agree with Trygon...if your genitals can be changed to make you happy, then other elective surgeries should be covered as well to make others happy. The thing is, you can look like any gender you want. I have seen very convincing trangendered individuals who were happy with just looking the part physically. You don't need surgery to be a specific gender. You can look and feel that way without altering your actual sex. Depression and fear of acceptance has nothing to do with what is in your pants. There will always be people prejudice against transgender regardless of whether or not they are pre op or post op. I have had a post op friend who I've had to comfort because her boyfriend left her after she finally told the truth about being born a man. Elective surgery will not solve all their problems. It will make them happy at first, but in the long run they will still have to face their depression of never fully being 100 percent female or 100 percent male. Health insurance in the US is not free or government funded unless you are older or if you have a child andor on welfare. You usually get it through an employer or you can get it through this new Obamacare marketplace that just came into effect this year. The petition is trying to get the government to force all health providers to cover sexual reassignment surgery. In this country, that's pretty frowned upon. American's don't like the government forcing anything on them, so there are further political issues to consider as well as other issues such as what Mrs. Muffintops stated Some HPs don't even cover having cancerous tumors removed, which WILL make an individual sick. Like I said, I'm not against it...but with all the other problems with our healthcare system, I'd say that this would be a lower priority considering this surgery isn't going to 100 percent fix someone who is considering killing themselves because they weren't born the gender they feel that they are.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

I've seen this discussion before and some of the things brought up were how transgenderism where they actively seek to physically change their genitals to make themselves feel whole is a form of body dysmorphic disorder. Thinking that you are supposed to be a different sex than the one you were born is a lot like how anorexics feel when they look in the mirror and see a fat person. It's just not based on reality and it's something mental that needs to be dealt with by a trained mental health professional. And those transgenders who are actually of sound mind and comfortable with who they are don't always seek out reassignment surgery. Transgenderism is occurring in high rates among certain species, such as a type of bass in the mood Atlantic in which 90 of males are carrying eggs. on my phone or I would post a link. it is easy to Google and it is on our own govt website. The fish are changing gender due to xenoestrogens, synthetic hormones and endocrine disruptors in the water supply. I believe that humans are affected as well, and our society would rather normalize the results of pollution rather than do something about it.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

Well, the way I see it Gender alteration surgery isn't technically healthcare. Hear me out, now. A pre-op transwoman is still healthy and not in anyway sick. More directly, because it's just an elective surgery, the insurance company can decide whether or not it wants to include that in the package.

We are indeed being exposed to more hormones than we should be. And I was doing research on Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome and one of the common symptoms is issues with gender identity. I'm not trying to dismiss the legitimacy of those who are transgendered but it makes you wonder if there could be an any cause to those who struggle with gender identity.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

So, was just flipping through and figured I'd put my two cents in as well. Healthcare providers will cover surgeries that SAVE them money in the long run. So, we'll take a friend of mine going in for bariatric surgery. In this case the insurance company is only covering 50 of the costs on a 20,000 surgery, although he's well over grossly obese and it will save them the possibility of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run should he develop type 2 diabetes, heart disease and a myriad of other conditions because of his obesity. And that's literally how they put it to him. And that's with tons of research going into the dangers of obesity. So, when looking at it from that viewpoint, why would an insurance company want to cover the costs of a transgender operation? I can't think of any reason it would want to. In the long run, the person getting the operation is going to cost the insurance company way more if the operation is performed considering they cover the hormone therapy both before and after the operation and while I haven't done any research into what sort of complications can erupt after turning genitals intended to be one thing into another, it can't be 100 foolproof can it? After all, at the very least we have to account for the fact that the people doing the operation are human. And, really, if we're arguing that it should be covered because of some chemical imbalance, don't you think the insurance company would opt for chemical therapy to treat the issue? Thus balancing those chemicals so the person in question identifies more readily with their birth gender. Well, my two cents, take it for what they're worth.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

I think about this story - Basically a man had a sex change to become a woman, 7 months later heshe has decided that it is too much hard work being a woman what with all the make up he has to apply etc to look like a woman and therefore wants the NHS British Health Care to pay the bill to have him changed back into a male. So no, I don't think Gender Reassignment Surgery should be covered by the tax payers.
Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

Read this thread awhile back thought about it. Flipped back and forth between yes and no. I have a lot of sympathy for the transgendered and want them to be able to receive and afford the medical care they need. I know some mental health issues are covered, such as depression. I might have driven into the wall if I couldn't have gotten help when I was depressed. But I also know we do have limited resources for health care. So if we look at health care as a right and we look at health insurance not as insurance for unforeseen accidents, but as coverage for life events involving health care, then there has to be some way of deciding what should be covered and what shouldn't be covered. And I don't think that decision should be a political one decided by politicians based on how they feel about transgendered lifestyles and whether surgery is icky or good, but rather based on things like how much money do we have available for health care assuming the pot of money to pay for health care isn't unlimited and is this actually going to help the person receiving the benefit. I kind of like the Oregon system where they prioritized health care services, emphasizing prevention and patient education. In general, Oregon would rank treatments that help prevent illness higher than services that treat illness after it occurs. And I would put prioritizing that list in the hands of health care professionals with input from impacted communities. In other words, it's a God damned committee and we know how effective committees are! But I don't want to put the decision of whether gender reassignment surgery is or is not covered in the hands of politicians of any political stripe. I actually don't like the current Obamacare system, which I feel is more about funneling huge sums of money into insurance companies and other third-parties than making sure everyone has health insurance. Sigh, a hard question. I guess the bottom line for me is yes, but throw out the current health care system and design it from scratch and prioritize all health care ... including the current subject ... by need and effectiveness. I question whether a second gender reassignment surgery ... for example ... is going to be a needed or b effective. But I'd rather a health care professional made the decision than me or any other group of non-involved individuals.

Actually a lot of blue moons membership identifies as genderfluid and are very accepting of transgenderism as an expression of identity and sexuality. But the topic is should tax payers pay for the surgery to change someone's gender. I'm genderfluid and have been in a relationship with a transgendered man who felt stuck in a mans body. My support of her and her struggle is not retracted just because I understand that the underlying issue would not be changed by her becoming fully female.
