Starbucks says it will pay for transgender employees to have gender reassignment surgery
| that were previously considered cosmetic, and therefore not covered, such as breast reduction or augmentation surgery, facial feminization, hair transplants and more.
“The approach was driven not just by the company’s desire to provide truly inclusive coverage, and by powerful conversations with transgender partners about how those benefits would allow them to truly be who they are,” said Ron Crawford, vice president of benefits at Starbucks.
| “It makes trans people feel like they are people,” said Buhrmester, “like they matter and their health matters.”

| Interesting. I'm not sure if pushing people to get surgery is a good idea though. It's kind of a big life decision.
| But if they're going to get it anyway it's better that a big corporation pays for it than the people who would have trouble getting by to begin with.
| fuck I need to get job at Starbucks then...
| Never drinking Starbucks again
| Starbucks also wrote "Beaner" on a latin customer's cup and offered a $50 Starbucks giftcard as compensation so, frankly, Starbucks is just fast food.
| People actually drink at Starbucks?
Sorry, never actually seen a store myself.
| It's just another marketing campaign lmao. Almost as bad as those fast fashion stores slapping rainbows on t shirts for pride

Sshh don't ruin it for them, they think they are part of a movement still and not an institution.
| >>336958 I'm not saying trans people should be in institutions if that's what you mean. I'm just sick of corporations profiting off of lgbt culture when they've done some unethical shit under the surface
| Same person as >>b98a49, my id changed

I think milk with all its hormones included, due to increase production, turns you into a teen girl thousand times faster than soy ever could.

Milk can be good or bad depending on how it was farmed, soy is always estrogenic unless you ferment it (soy sauce etc)
| Company's are having a blast with lgtb/internet culture its like having valentines every week

~90% of produced milk is "farmed" by industry, which uses hormones on cows to increase productivity.
And how many unfermented soy does one need to consume that it takes an effect? 5kg per day?
Also, what do you think is cattle/livestock feeded with? What does happen to the soy estrogens in the animals food? Does it disappear?
| >>339608 phytoestrogens don't actually have a hormonal effect on mammals, it's chemically different from actual estrogen so eating soy will not turn you femme. Sorry my trap g/u/rls.

| Tate, who has been with Starbucks for 15 years and now manages a store in Austin, Texas, is one of a growing number of Starbucks partners who have used the company’s leading-edge benefits for transgender partners.
Starbucks health insurance plans include not only gender reassignment surgery (which had been covered since 2012), but now also a host of procedures for transgender partners in the U.S.
