So far so good on the Dr visits for our Endo. I figured they might cover the first visit since it was a referral and a consultation, but figured since our diagnosis is transgender that nothing else would be covered. However, I just looked at visit #2 with Endo and they PAID! Yeah! I'm so happy about this, anything that can be covered by insurance that I pay HUNDREDS of $$ for monthly is a great weight lifted off my shoulders. Especially since we know that we will have to pay cash for surgery.
Just to answer the question of WHY we would allow for our child to get surgery. I'd have to say live with him! Watch him struggle with his body. Watch him avoid showers. Watch him not go swimming. Watch him wear two/three shirts to bulk up. Watch him be uncomfortable in his binders. Watch him walk with a hunch to help hide his chest. He NEEDS to have this and just like any other surgery a child might need to "fix" a disability, we have to give this to him.
I already tried to make my son be a girl. I already tried to convince him he is a girl. This is NOT going away and I believe in the deepest of my heart that he truly IS a boy.
