Urge British Columbia's Ministry of Health to cover FTM bottom-surgery under the MSP

The Issue

British Columbia's Medical Services Plan currently covers male-to-female gender reassignment surgery, as well as female-to-male top surgery (mastectomy) and chest re-contouring. However, the province does not currently fund bottom-surgery for FTM citizens. Urge the British Columbia Ministry of Health to join the ranks of Ontario and Quebec in performing the surgery, and also to start including this surgery in their MSP guidelines.
