Who said liberals don't like capitalism... they are just selective in its usage, especially when the government functions as an umbrella that protects them. In that sense - it is not pure capitalism.

Is sex-change treatment Planned Parenthood’s new moneymaker?

At 32 of its centers in 10 states, Planned Parenthood now offers hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for clients wanting to change their gender expression.

...
Capitalizing on an upswing in the growing acceptance of transgender rights, Planned Parenthood is expanding its brand into a potentially lucrative market.

...
The cost for a complete gender reassignment—surgery, therapy, hormones, lab tests, and doctor visits—ranges from $20,000 to more than $100,000, depending mainly on the number and types of surgeries involved.

...
But fees for office visits and drugs can be significant sources of revenue: $100 or more per appointment and anywhere from $360 to $1,500 per year for the drugs. Some health insurance plans cover gender reassignment treatment, as does Medicare.


I guess they can make up a marketing slogan - "We're Not just For Women Anymore"

Exactly how I read it - I was like, I don't think he/she knows he's being unintentionally (or intentionally) funny with that comment.

They haven't been "just for women" in my lifetime, and I'm nearly 70. Differs with the state, of course, but they've always cared about underserved markets.

Do try to keep up.

I don't need to keep up with PP. I am OK with being out of the loop with them.

Examples? What services do they provide for men?
