An Ontario, Canada, resident has successfully secured public funding for a specialized “gender-mutilation” medical procedure in which a vaginal cavity is surgically created while keeping the penis intact.
CTV News Toronto reports the prospective patient, identified only as K.S. in documents filed with the provincial Health Services Appeal and Review Board (HSARB), was seeking coverage under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) for a penile-preserving vaginoplasty in a first-of-its-kind case.
Since 2023, K.S. has been engaged in a series of appeals to the review board following an initial denial by OHIP to cover the surgery. On April 10, a final appeal launched by OHIP was dismissed by the Divisional Court of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The CTV report continues:
K.S., whose identity is protected under a publication ban, identifies as non-binary. She presents as predominantly female and uses she/her pronouns, but does not align with the gender binary.
The reason why K.S. is seeking this particular procedure is because it aligns with her identity – and having the provincial insurer previously deny her request made her feel “less than.”
K.S. previously told CTV News: “There have been so many times that I have had to justify myself to just be… People who aren’t transgender or nonbinary don’t have to get that permission to exist.”
The exact cost of the surgery is uncertain, but according to the Daily Mail, conventional “reassignment” procedures typically range from $10,000 to $70,000.
In a comparable incident last June, OHIP funded the surgery for a 41-year-old public servant to construct a penis while keeping their vagina and uterus intact, despite initially rejecting the claim. Critics speaking to the National Post noted that this request highlights the concerning direction that so-called gender-mutilation treatment has taken in Canada.
Pamela Buffone, founder of the parents’ group Canadian Gender Report, wrote the following in an email to the Post:
“Our public health-care system is at the breaking point and really needs to focus on procedures that are medically necessary… Is this type of surgery health care? The patient will not be physically healthier because of the operation, which is likely to result in complications and the need for corrective surgeries and further demands on the health system.”
