A Tennessee Republican introduced legislation proposing a bill of rights for individuals who received gender reassignment surgeries and later wish to detransition. Republican Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison, R-Cosby, introduced House Bill 2816. Faison says it would protect four rights of Tennesseans, including the right to insurance coverage, mental health care access, legal restoration and the right to transparency. Faison’s proposal includes the right to insurance coverage from practitioners and insurers for procedures designed to change the physical appearance of their gender using state funds. The bill will provide coverage for procedures to help transition back to sex at birth.
