They can’t have it both ways, but they do. If someone calls gender dysphoria a mental health disorder, they will be excoriated. If it is not classified as such (such as a “misalignment”), any drugs/surgeries would be considered cosmetic and, therefore, not covered by insurance. There is no logical consistency.
I suppose the lobby could put pressure on insurance companies to provide coverage even less a technical disorder? Shoot, why not lobby for other plastic surgery to be covered? It’s not like we had to push back on our insurance company to cover proton radiation treatment for my husband’s cancer treatment.
Definitional "Have my cake and eat it too". But very few people call this out because the gender ideologues have the DNC and its sister media by the balls. Those who do call this absurdity out get sanctioned and silenced.
