I need advice.You probably don't remember but I made a thread not too long ago about how the government was forcing me to detransition because they said they would no longer provide gender-affirming care for federal employees and how that applied to me because I was a federal employee.The thing is, when the government first announced the changes to federal employee healthcare last year, I was reading through news articles about it and there was a prominent LGBTQ law firm in one of the articles that was asking for affected people to contact them.I shot them an email not really thinking anything of it, not looking to hire a lawyer, and just to vent my frustrations to someone over the headache it would cause me.Fast forward to several months to now and they actually got back to me and I reluctantly agreed to have a teleconference with their team next week.I say "reluctantly" because I don't really see how I would be a good trans client to sue the government on the behalf of.Yes, I'm MTF trans person, diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and prescribed HRT as treatment, BUT I'm a "manmoder" and present myself as a cishet male in public life because I'm not ready to be out yet.How could they argue in court that my HRT should be covered by insurance when I'm presenting myself as a man?Am I thinking too hard about this and there's something I'm just not seeing?Am I just feeling "imposter syndrome" and my trans identity is valid?Should I go through with talking with them or should back out because I'm worried about embarrassing?Give advice plz.

>>42294599>How could they argue in court that my HRT should be covered by insurance when I'm presenting myself as a man?They're lawyers. It's their job.>Am I thinking too hard about this and there's something I'm just not seeing?You have a diagnosed medical condition. That's the foundation for a case.>Am I just feeling "imposter syndrome" and my trans identity is valid?Yes.>Should I go through with talking with them or should back out because I'm worried about embarrassing?Talk with them and bring up your concern. In this kind of situation, they are looking for a good test case. What counts as a good test case depends on inscrutable legal niceties that you and I will never understand. But they do. They will know if you are the right person to bring this lawsuit.
