EDMONTON — The Alberta government’s decision to stop funding sex-change surgery has attracted the attention of the Oprah Winfrey Show.
A message from Harpo Studios in Chicago said the show wasn’t doing a story now, but would contact her for an interview if it does a segment on transsexuals in the future.
Kris Wells, a researcher at the Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services at the University of Alberta, said if Oprah tells her audience about the funding cuts, Alberta’s $25-million attempt to boost its oilsands-tainted image would be a waste.

Will Oprah be talking about all the jurisdictions in the US that provide funding for such surgery, or ANY surgery.
I guess you'll have to tune in and see - of course we're talking about a jurisdiction that does provide funding for medical treatments and chose to start a campaign of reducing that by attacking a politically convenient target.
