View submission: A Legal Researcher's Guide to Trump Anti-Trans Executive Orders
correct, testosterone in any relevant dose is considered gender affirming if the individual isn't "deemed male" (or "male prevailing" in my case, not sure how they word that now). the only other way i could see it billed if not being administered for that is for people that are "deemed female" and are administered a very tiny amount of compounded cream for gyn issues (but it's such a small dose it's more or less unrelated). this is really the fallacy of the health insurance billing conditions generally being heavily tied to sex (especially when it comes to medicare/medicaid). it's also a part of why there is "hypospadias" (deemed a male condition) and "other hypospadias" (also known as "intersex hypospadias") as two separate listings. the latter is considered an intersex condition due to its severity, while the former by itself is not normally.
as you've likely noticed in your research, a lot of navigating healthcare as an intersex person is unfortunately "what box are they stuffing me in and what tools do i have in that box to throw at them", as we don't really have anywhere to truly be "placed" in regards to our biology.

This is where Trump's plans actually save my ass. If he makes it so that I can only be whats say on my birth certificate, my cert says Male, my care is no longer GAC, and I live when he makes that care illegal instead of not.
I HATE that it does by the way, because its him that puts my life in danger in the first damn place, but still.
