They will essentially cover almost everything needed for the reassignment. The sure things are the hormones, srs, and I think the therapy. The therapy I am paying out of pocket since I like my therapist. The rest is done on a peer review basis (obviously, since different patients require different things) and I think I found a group that could help me get laser hair removal approved for me which I hear is the most expensive part. This is fucking awesome!

Wait, how is laser hair removal the most expensive part? People get laser hair removal all the time, and that's more expensive than other procedures?

That's just what I've been told by other trans people. I had the same thoughts too since it seems like the other procedures would be more expensive.

Laser hair removal is usually done on the face. The hormones affect the rate of growth for the body.

Well, maybe it'll also save you money on concealer you don't have to buy. Laser hair removal isn't a permanent thing though, doesn't it have to be done every six months or something? Maybe that's why it's expensive?

I think the number of times varies on the person from what I recalled, but I think there is a point where you would no longer need it making it a form of permanent hair removal.

Sweet! I hope it doesn't take too many goes. No more shaving sounds nice.
