Psychiatric News (3/15) reports, “Individuals with gender dysphoria who lived in California were significantly more likely to undergo gender-affirming surgery following the 2013 implementation of a state law prohibiting insurance discrimination against gender-affirming care compared with those living in Arizona and Washington, where no such law exists,” according to new research examining 25,252 transgender and gender-diverse patients in California, Washington, and Arizona. The findings were published online March 14 in JAMA.
