With recent legislation in my state, I thought I could get the health care I need as a transgender person covered under my insurance. I started to think, hey, maybe life is possible. I have no money but maybe I can have this. Blog posts and other members confirmed. Guess what? I contacted my insurance and my plan has a specific ban on covering ANY services for transgender people! So sweet!
My last little crumb of hope is gone. I have tickets for a few concerts later this year then I’m out. I hope I get to meet my favorite singer before I croak, that would be a nice consolation prize from the universe for making me a mutated living miscarriage that should have been killed at birth. Not saying other transgender people are this but I’ve got a billion other disabilities so, yeah, I am. My only question is, should I take the quiet boring way out or should I achieve martyrdom and, like, set myself on fire in front of the insurance company’s offices in protest?

I’m so sorry. 🙁
How can you create a life for yourself that is worth living?
Have you considered moving somewhere with less persecution for instance? I know transgendered people are probably the most hounded group around. But maybe somewhere it’s less severe?
I have a transgendered friend (I live in Denmark), and he seems pretty contented, even if there are still fights to be had with the authorities, and lots of prejudice in the general population. But at least things seem relatively safe. I don’t know.
I really hope you keep fighting, you are so brave for staying alive this long, and you can achieve much more by keeping on going than by letting them win. Burning yourself outside their office would just play into their agenda, they could easily paint that as the actions of a mad person or something.
Please keep fighting. You are immensely valuable, and those bastards can’t win.
You deserve a shot at happiness.
