BLOOMBERG - Grindr is rolling out new benefits to support employees seeking gender affirmation surgery. Grindr will work with healthcare providers to offer the surgery without needing several letters from a psychiatrist that includes their mental health history and a recommendation for the surgery, which advocates say places a burden on patients. Instead, employees will sign attestations that the surgery is required for them to live according to their gender identity, said Heidi Schriefer, Grindr's VP of people and places. Grindr will also cover the cost of flights and hotel stays if employees need to travel for care.
