Berkeley Establishes Sex Reassignment Fund

Berkeley city spokeswoman Mary Kay Clunies-Ross told FoxNews.com that Tuesday’s resolution — if approved — brings those workers wanting a sex change procedure closer to making it a reality. The city's two insurance providers — Kaiser and Health Net — do not cover sex-change operations.

It would establish the Sex Reassignment Fund, a discretionary fund, in which individuals could get as much as $15,000 before their sex-change surgery and $5,000 post-surgery. The money will be available for city employees on a first-come, first-served basis to pay for one-time expenses.

“In 2007, the council requested us to look into both the cost and matching policy for incorporating sex reassignment surgery into employee benefits. Tonight we’re returning to council with a recommended policy and approach for council and the public’s consideration,” Clunies-Ross said.

Moore told the San Francisco Chronicle in an article published on Tuesday the benefit is what is "just and fair" for the transgender community.

But Slaby wonders if it's just as fair to the taxpaying citizens of the city of Berkeley.
