A federal district court judge on Wednesday temporarily halted parts of a nondiscrimination rule that would have kept insurers and medical professionals from denying hormone therapy, gender transition surgeries and similar medical care for transgender people.
U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. sided with 15 states that had argued the language the rule was based on — the 1972 Title IX nondiscrimination law — encompasses biological sex, but not gender identity. Guirola’s injunction applies nationwide to the Affordable Care Act rule, which would have gone into effect Friday.
If you are covering the cost of estrogen for “biological females” but not for “biological males” (as my shitty insurance tells me), that is discrimination on the basis of sex. This is not difficult.
Hun have you ever tried rubbing two neurons together? It’s difficult, okay?
Woulda thought you were a transphobe had i not checked your post history…(not that trans folks cant be transphobic…so…) what do you mean by this?
I interpret this as a sarcastic dig at the politicians who can’t figure this out struggling to rub the two neurons in their brain together. Elise definitely isn’t transphobic.
