      when a carboard box 3 hours from the city costs a million dollars I’d wager there are a lot of people who aren’t above getting top surgery just to afford a roof over their head.

        This program is aimed at individuals with very low to moderate incomes, making it unlikely for someone who can afford extensive gender-affirming surgeries, such as top surgery, to qualify. Moreover, Australian healthcare policies do not provide free gender-affirming surgeries, reinforcing that those eligible for this housing support are genuinely in need and cannot manipulate the system for free housing.
