Trump administration revokes transgender health protection

Washington — In a move applauded by President Donald Trump's conservative religious base, his administration on Friday finalized a rule that overturns Obama-era protections for transgender people against sex discrimination in health care.

But conservatives say the Obama administration exceeded its legal authority in broadly interpreting gender. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “Religious freedom is no justification for hatred or bigotry, and every American has the right to seek and receive care without intimidation or fear.” Under the Obama-era rule, a hospital could be required to perform gender-transition procedures such as hysterectomies if the facility provided that kind of treatment for other medical conditions. The rule was meant to carry out the anti-discrimination section of the Affordable Care Act, which bars sex discrimination in health care but does not use the term “gender identity.”

The ACLU says it has already moved to try to prevent the rollback of protections for transgender people. The LGBTQ civil rights group Lambda Legal said it will sue. “Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and according to the law,” said Severino."Our dedication to our civil rights laws is as strong as ever.” He cited recent actions to safeguard access to treatment for disabled people in the coronavirus pandemic.

BacksweetBranch Why does he seem to like destroying everything that appears to be inclusive? I just don't get it with this guy.

VERY GOOD FOR THE PRESIDENT!!!!!!

I have no heart for homosexuals

Sex change surgery isn’t health protection.

Desperate for the so called evangelicals votes he’s ready to destroy himself.

The President reverted to the biology at birth standard. Is that bad?

Let's look at what it really is. That rule forced doctors to perform surgeries they were opposed to doing for their deeply held convictions.

And just a question, since the transgender community is being limited in health care protection, will they do the same for the pedophile community?

They did this to themself caitlyn
