Alexzandra Batts was one of the several hundred people to attend Green Bay’s 11th Annual Pride Alive event Saturday, July 14.

Batts, a 30-year-old transgender woman, discussed her frustration on navigating her private employer's health insurance program.

"Speaking as a black trans woman it's insanely difficult," Batts said. "I'm happy I have insurance, but it's not the right insurance and the more I try to find out answers the more confusing it gets."

Batts recently moved from Racine to Menasha and said she "feels bad" she doesn't know who her local officials are.

If she knew them, she would ask them about health coverage for trans people.

"What would you do for people who are still trying to figure out the health care, especially the LGBT community and what would you do to make our state number one throughout the entire nation?" she asked, adding, "I remember a time when Wisconsin was number one, we beat out all the other states. Why are we number 50?"

And Batts isn't alone.
