F that, Canadians can't even get regular health care right now, no doctors, not enough nurses, extremely long waits in emergency.
Canadian taxpayers are not paying for anything other than genital and other types of hair removal as a pre-surgical medical necessity or as deemed a necessary medical procedure. The OPs article is just the opinion of two doctors and nothing may come of it.
Don't try to justify the attempts made to pass the bill to Canadians to 'treat' the delusions of some people who want to be other gender.
Your apologetic statement this may not happen is not even correct as it happens already in parts of Canada
Public funding for such procedures, which are currently funded in only two jurisdictions in Canada, warrants serious consideration in all provinces and territories,' the authors concluded.
They want to make it publicly funded in the entire Canada.

Yup, the military considers it a necessity, obviously.
For a US transgender population of ~1.6% ??
That's not necessity, that's sabotage.
Well, they consider it a necessity for fewer than 10 soldiers, it appears.
Transgender people are significantly more likely to serve in the US military than the general US population.[176][177] According to 2014 estimates from the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy, despite the ban on military service, about 21.4% of the total transgender population in the US is estimated to have served in the military. In May 2014, an estimated 15,500 transgender individuals served on active duty or in the Guard or Reserve forces.[22]
About 32% of transgender individuals in the US who are assigned male at birth serve or have served in the military, compared to 5.5% for transgender individuals who are assigned female at birth.[22] According to the 2014 study, "[t]he American military employs more transgender people than any other organisation in the world: around 15,500...more than 6,000 of whom are on active duty."[178]
A 2016 workplace and gender relations survey found 9,000 US military service members consider themselves transgender individuals.[179] In 2019, the United States Department of Defense states that 1,400 service members have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and fewer than 10 service members were receiving gender reassignment surgery.

You may see 15,500 and think, that's a lot of service members that need sexual affirmative care.
However, if you read the Wikipedia, (of all things), it states, "According to the 2014 study, "[t]he American military employs more transgender people than any other organisation in the world: around 15,500...more than 6,000 of whom are on active duty."
The American military is probably one of the largest contracting apparatuses in the US, maybe the world. Are those "employees" eligible for taxpayer funded augmented realities while they work around some of the most sensitive programs in our government? Are they being counted in that number? Before the military went bat snip crazy, they would weed you out for such psychological issues.
When did the entire military structure flip to allow mental illness to be waivered? Nevermind the military, what about the country??

That is the million dollar question, how many have gender dysphoria or other mental health conditions... a very small percentage that I've read and I do believe they are indeed weeded out.

Nevermind the numbers, why is mental illness being allowed in our military or to flourish in our society???
Is it safe to have mentally compromised individuals making command decisions? I thought that was a BIG NO-NO.
oh well I suppose...

Plenty. Not so many with gender dysphoria, however.

Canada has not accepted any thinking that those two doctors propose...it's just the opinion of two doctors and it may go nowhere unless somewhere down the line the procedures are considered medically necessary for the well being and advancement of overcoming depression. Canada's healthcare system is a tight-fisted miser, so for any psychiatric treatment to be covered that person seeking help would have to jump through many hoops, as well as seeing their doctor, a psychiatrist (not psychologist or counsellor), so multiple medical professionals would have to deem any course of treatment as medically necessary. Not an easy road.
Public funding for such procedures, which are currently funded in only two jurisdictions in Canada, warrants serious consideration in all provinces and territories,' the authors concluded.
