PÉrez-peÑa, Richard. "Transgender Students Gain Visibility, and College Health Plans Respond." The New York Times. The New York Times, 13 Feb. 2013. Web. 13 Feb. 2013. Colleges today have started to become more aware of transgender students and have recently added transgender surgeries to their student health care plan. Although the number of transgender students in college is unknown, many elite universities have taken initiative to give students the attention needed to fix their gender identity. This issue was brought up by students who took a place for gay rights and hope to do the same with transgender people.  This article is intriguing since I did not know there was such thing as transgender surgeries or hormone injections. I think it is a good thing that colleges are starting to improve their health care plans for their students, because it shows that colleges are following up with their nondiscrimination policies. Students from different backgrounds stood up for something they believed in and helped make college a better environment for others who may be suffering from social, mental, or physical issues. Even companies today are adding sex change treatments to employee health care plans. 6 years ago there was no such thing as healthcare for sex change surgery but now over 36 colleges cover healthcare for transgender treatments. I am happy to hear that colleges today have started to put more effort in creating a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment for all their students.
