Bupa Global Health finally got back to confirm that yes... if you've been diagnosed for gender dysphoria or incongruence, then this is a pre-existing condition and any request (medical, surgical, etc) would be excluded on that basis.

I knew this... it's just stupid.

It's a bit "your existence is your problem", and well... I already know that, but what I keep being vocal about is that the mere existence of someone shouldn't be grounds for excluding them for receiving care.

The system is operating as designed... I am angry with the design of the system.

@julia yeah... and this is in the UK... the policy would cost about £2k per month (pay after income tax, so it represents £4k per month, £48k of annual gross earnings), and it is the only private health insurance in the UK that explicitly includes gender dysphoria in the policy.

but that only applies so long as you do not already have a diagnosis.

which means there is no private health in the UK open to someone already on record as being out... no option exists.

and the NHS still has their 22 year waiting list.

and the only other option is to fully pay out of pocket... i.e. buy a pussy and a new nose rather than buy a house.

@dee @julia Hallway chats say that prices in Thailand are much more cheaper than in top European countries (and definitely cheaper than a home). But I'm just a random anonymous person writing on the Internet, who isn't planning any surgery for herself. Do your own research instead of trusting my word.

@cinnamon @julia oh it's much cheaper, but by using the top UK surgeon I ensure the NHS will own the long-term maintenance (well... dilation is on me, but you know what I mean)
