🍁 Ontario resident who wants both a vagina and penis wins public funding for unique surgery.

A court has ruled Ontario must pay for a penis-sparing vaginoplasty for a person who identifies as neither fully female nor fully male.

Ontario has been ordered to pay for surgery for a resident who is seeking to have a vagina constructed while leaving their penis intact.

Denying the procedure would infringe on the person’s Charter-protected right to security of the person, an Ontario court said in its ruling.

The unanimous decision by a three-member panel of judges of Ontario’s Divisional Court could expand access to a novel “bottom surgery” for people who identify as non-binary, meaning neither fully male nor fully female.

The Ontario resident, identified in court documents as K.S., has been locked in a legal battle with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan since 2022, when OHIP denied a funding request to have a penile preserving vaginoplasty performed at a clinic in Austin, Texas.

The surgery, which is not available anywhere in Canada, involves creating a vaginal canal, or opening, without removing the penis.

K.S., 33, was born male but identifies as female dominant and uses a feminine name.

OHIP denied her request for funding, arguing that the procedure is not included on its list of sex-reassignment procedures, and is therefore not an insured service.

K.S. appealed OHIP’s decision to Ontario’s Health Services Appeal and Review Board, arguing that forcing her to have her penis removed would invalidate her identity and be akin to an illegal act of conversion therapy.

She also worried about the risk of complications and urinary incontinence from the urological rerouting, and the risk of orgasm dysfunction. She argued the procedure she is seeking abroad is like standard vaginoplasties performed in Ontario, but without the additional procedure, namely, the penectomy.

The appeal board overturned OHIP’s decision, ruling that a vaginoplasty is among the genital surgeries listed for public coverage and need not inherently include removal of the penis. The board therefore ruled the procedure eligible for public funding.

OHIP appealed the board’s decision to the Divisional Court, arguing the review board erred in finding a penis-sparing vaginoplasty is specifically listed as an insured service, and that it failed to consider that the unorthodox procedure is considered an experimental procedure in Ontario, and, therefore, not eligible for funding.

Just because vaginoplasty is listed as an insured service doesn’t mean any type of vaginoplasty qualifies, OHIP argued in court.

The court disagreed. Vaginoplasty and penectomy are listed as discrete, separate services on Ontario’s list of surgeries eligible for funding, the court said. “The fact that most people who have a vaginoplasty have it done in a way that also involves a penectomy” doesn’t change the provision. If the province had intended for only one type of vaginoplasty to be insured (vaginoplasty with penis removal) it should have drafted the list differently, the court said.

The court said the appeal board’s conclusion was also consistent with standards of care developed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) — an influential group whose guidelines for gender-affirming care for children and youth were found to lack “developmental rigour” in a sweeping review released this week.

End time surgery. Insanity not limited to Africa.
Only God knows what is going on in some people's skull

Nonsense

Nonsense!

Funds that would have been channeled to people in IDP camps in Africa. This is one of the reasons Africa is aligning with the Global South.

Rubber stamp vaginas...

Chai

If helinues/yarimo see this kind money, he won't be roaming nairaland day and night defending clueless Apc for 9yrs now untop meagre 30k monthly stipend.

This life no balance

Typical example of “Serve yourself “

The anti christ in western countries are driven by way rights activists but the anti christ in Nigeria is drove by Apc and its member and agents

Africa is not aligning.
It has never aligned in modern history.
Africa accepts aid from anywhere it can. Even during the cold war, it played both sides.

If you are referring to the 3 juntas, they are exceptions whose policies are nothing but
survivalist in nature.
Time will tell.

Woke nonsense

Where do they get the spare vagina and penis from?

Oyibo people don mad finish

Middle name is stupidity

If dem tell us say our madness for here in Africa be like child's play compared to the kind of madness wey oyibo dey celebrate,we no dey believe...

Anyways, maximum enjoyment to him as he's about to embark on this memorable journey of his.......

Molokotilobonous animal!
He want to be exploring his fetishism by having sex as male & female. Deranged demonic unbalanced people!
Where's that other werey wey identify like a dog. Hope she d be glad to be impregnated by a dog and raise a puppy.
See these LGBTQ people, they are confused than cornfused balablue people of Nigeria.
Someone was fucking a dog and she was arrested for animal bestiality. Shebi una talk say it should be a free world. So freeness was explored to another limit. Make una enjoy the monsters una create. Na only abroad dem go arrest people wey kill animals in self defense but won't arrest animals wey kill or cause deaths. Or even drag their owners!
Una dey ment!

Why Africa? Or you Ontario citizens don't need the funds too

The problem is the availability of science.

Science was a positive revolution that has become a scourge.

Every insanity can now be fully actualized.

A man or a woman is not represented by a plastic sewn on them like a puppet. Men are born. Women are born.

When Africans understand that nobody gives a damn about their condition maybe they will start holding their leaders accountable

Must Africa remain a substandard continent even in the 21st century?

Alright

Very funny anyways these are countries where citizens have rights and voices even for odd and worst reasons but here we are, we can't even stage a peaceful protest for hunger or this NEPA wahala without fear. Nawa oh
