National Post: Ontario resident who wants both a vagina and penis wins public funding for unique surgery.
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 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.
I can't believe taxpayers are paying for this.
