With a vote last week, San Francisco became the first city in the country to pay for sex changes for municipal employees, Reuters reports. The city's Board of Supervisors voted 9-2 to approve the proposal, which lets workers claim up to $50,000 of the cost of a sex change, including psychotherapy, hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery.
