dolariJust a heads up to any trans folks needing to get on Washington State's Apple Health care.
When you apply, there is an entry on the application (https://www.hca.wa.gov/assets/free-or-low-cost/18-001P.pdf) that specifically asks for your Sex Assigned At Birth.
Before filling this in, please note that Washington's Health Care Authority's Transhealth program (https://www.hca.wa.gov/free-or-low-cost-health-care/i-need-medical-dental-or-vision-care/transhealth-program) states that, unless you need reproductive care, you do not need to put in your sex assigned at birth.
Only if you need reproductive care are you required to put in the sex assigned at birth.
This caused some issues with my healthcare as all my physicians and pharmacists have me listed as female but because I didn't know I could put down female on the form, cause a ton of headaches with insurance, and a lot of phone calls to get that set right.
