Ontario’s top court has ruled the province must cover the cost of a penile-sparing vaginoplasty for a transgender resident who does not identify as exclusively female or male and who wishes to have both genitalia.
In a unanimous decision released this week, a three-judge panel of the Ontario Court of Appeal confirmed a lower court’s ruling that the novel phallus-preserving surgery qualifies as an insured service under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.
A wise use of scarce medical resources, isn’t it? (sarcasm = off)

They’ll pay to send this freak to another country for nonsensical genital surgery… but I (a senior citizens) am out $2400 for my (free healthcare?) cataract surgery?

?!…Why do you have to pay for it? It’s free in BC. Mind you, if you want the more complex toroidal lens you do have to pay the extra cost…I think it’s around $600 but I may be incorrect on that part.
Come on asteroid!!

You need one heck of a large one for fat Ford.
What a cockup.
I can’t believe someone has the balls to demand this of OHIP
Don’t you just hate it when the government dicks around with your money?
Stop it ! both you John’s .
Let me guess: xim/xer/xit will work as a stripper in some you-know-what bar with the stage name Hugh G. Rection……
Aside from the double entendre, is there anything the transreality crowd will not demand?
Double entente!? That would be fine … but this FREAK wants to be able to F*ck theyself!! Maybe there’s a porn channel for such depravity … but the government shouldn’t be F*cking the general public with this psycho-porn.
Maybe not copulate with oneself, but, as some wag once put it, “bisexuality doubles one’s chances at a date”.
And/or eliminates it altogether
So, hermaphrodite surgery is covered, eh?
What’s with the courts telling the government what to do, here and in the USA?
“uses female pronouns but does not identify as either fully female or fully male.” Could I suggest a new pronoun, “shim”?
LOL but …. shhhhhh!
Why? You can already use S/he/it.
Brings a new reality to “go f*** yourself”
Technically.. Killing yourself is also fully funded.. As you can see, Canada is not leaving any unfunded loose strings..
TRUE. Simple rule: if it advances the collapse of culture, family and society, money (debt) will be found.
This would be neat: a unanimous decision to fund mental health treatment up to the amount of the proposed pecker-pu$$y surgery.
Tax boomer and bedshitter’s home equity to fund genderwang perversion surgery.
Elbows up for castration!
Canada is a stupid country now.
It’s way past time for this c(o)untry to perish. Or turn muslim. None of that nonsense under Sharia
You can bet the Jamaat-e-Islami will put these people under the knife. But it won’t be a surgeons scalpel … and they won’t be getting anesthesia
I hate to break this to you, but transsexuals aren’t across the board banned in all sharia compliant countries. They just have an issue with men who are gay and take on the feminine role — as long as you’re the one taking on the masculine role, you’re good.
That’s how you get bacha bazi (the West knows it from Afghanistan, but I assure you, the practice isn’t limited to there).
Insane. Butchers. Sociopaths.
Why it’s time to take the courts away from social activist Lawyers and appoint (or better yet, elect) common sense citizens as judges.
I am not a lawyer or a judge.
I don’t play one on TV, stage or radio.
I don’t have the educational impediment of a law degree.
I do know a phrase that can solve the problem.
Not withstanding clause.
I know Ford knows this phrase. He invoked it in 2018 when the courts ruled Ford could not limit the number of NDP morons on Toronto city council.
Time to use it again.
We need this law: https://www.rferl.org/amp/russia-gender-reassignment-banned-putin-signs-law/32517157.html
“DCH”
Liberal Canada – setting the standards for government insanity worldwide.
Some one who is caused harm by an over taxed health care system should sue these A$$HOLES.
If ever there were a case for the notwithstanding clause.
Don’t think our judiciary isn’t looking South and wondering “hmmmmm…I too can be king”?
Reminds me of the Harper years where Canadians weren’t sure who they voted for…Harper or Bev Mclachlin.
OHIP. My dad died of prostate cancer at 82. At 78 he was told PSA tests and prostate exams were no longer covered because prostate cancer took a long time and he would likely die of something else. 4 years later he died from a “unusually aggressive form of the cancer” . I guess he should have asked for prostate and dick removal surgery, that would be covered.
Can I get the province to pay for me to have a vagina? Just for a couple of hours a week, mind.
Are you sure you want that?
By the time the bureaucracy procures one for you it will cost the taxpayers twice what you would spend privately it probably won’t be even half as nice.
I shudder to imagine the employees at a government run brothel, Tooner.
?…aren’t you already getting f**ked over enough by Government? 😉
Isn’t this degenerate a better candidate for MAiD?
I’d be happy to chip in for that.
The “Judges” would be better suited for MAID.
Sick dick heads. Animals are far above the human race.
I’m guessing having a dick and vagina might be a bit cumbersome for walking.
Ain’t socialized medicine great.
Take a bow – sorry, I mean a curtsey – Ford Nation. You voted for this.
Ontario PC=BC liberal =Quebec liberal
Paging Doctor Mengale.
“Penile-sparing vaginoplasty”? Great, all we need now is a spare penis. Though I’m told that F. Scott FitzGerald had a cousin who was a bit of a prick, P. Nile FitzGerald…
Buddy, can you spare a… oh, never mind.
