ICD-11 will dump "gender dysphoria" & replace with "gender incongruence." So they'll still have billing code but no need for dysphoria. Maybe we should start a movement of women who feel "incongruent" w/some part of their bodies (easy, right?) & insist insurance pay?

After all, "facial feminization surgery" is covered as "gender affirming." If I want a facelift because my brain is no longer congruent with my aging female body, and I need it to feel "authentic," how can they deny that? Quite serious here.

Standard idea of "woman" is full, pert breasts. After menopause, many women lose that, feel...dysphoric; incongruent with the idea they have of themselves (their "gender"). How could an insurance company deny coverage for that, but not for a 50-y-old man getting implants?
