About time...
The supplemental insurance carrier my former employer has chosen (I pay 100% of the insurance premium)) proudly announced during a seminar describing the change of insurance HMO’s that they cover gender transformation up to $25,000.
I’m sure few if any individuals covered by this new plan requested or require this ridiculous coverage.....which I’m certain is reflected in our insurance premiums.
I don't quite understand the scope of this ruling. It claims it covers all of America's 900,000 doctors, but I imagine very few practice "gender transition." Is it saying that doctors and hospitals are now protected from being involved in any way if they choose not to be?
For sure, any doctor who practices or specializes in "gender transition" must already be twisted.
Thanks for the post-——and for introducing me to The Becket Fund.

A Texas state court, ruling only for Texans?
A federal District Court or Appeals Court located in Texas, applying to the entire country?
Why keep it a secret?

Once Barry the homo and the manly Moochie Obama are out of the White House the pressure to promote cross dressing, gender-bending, and sex change medical procedures will go away.
Thank goodness. Any such surgery is merely cosmetic.
This is a federal district court in Texas and not a Texas court. It makes a difference.
So, in other words, the "conservative" position is now that mutilating children under the influence of their parents' mental illnesses is a "personal decision".
Mmm..kay.
GOOGLE: Alcohol flush response: It occurs in Oriental Asians and thereby American "Indians," descendants of Siberian hunter groups.
Alcohol flush reaction is a condition in which an individual develops flushes or blotches associated with erythema on the face, neck, shoulders, and in some cases, the entire body after consuming alcoholic beverages. The reaction is the result of an accumulation of acetaldehyde, a metabolic byproduct of the catabolic metabolism of alcohol, and is caused by an acetaldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.
The FIRST Americans were Caucasians. Their remains were still around in the traps they set for mammoths. Those human skulls were OVAL, like all Caucasians.
"American Indians" have ROUND heads, like ALL Oriental Asians. No round heads in those ancient animals traps...only the oval ones.
Asian Caucasians (Indians, Pakistanis) do NOT have that deficiency. Neither do black Africans or African Arabs. That deficiency is purely Asian ORIENTALS.
Nobody should EVER be doing gender reassignment on any child ever.
NO child is mature enough to make that kind of decision and they are messing with hormones etc that will affect the child for life.
There is NO going back or undoing the damage that kind of procedure can cause.
NO parent should ever be allowed to demand it for their child. The child is not a piece of property or a pet to do what they want with.
"Doctors who followed their Hippocratic Oath to act in the best interest of their patient would have faced severe consequences, including losing their job."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots beware !
The Hippocratic Oath is arguably a minor point of this healthcare issue.
More specifically, the major constitutional problem with this healthcare-related issue is the following imo.
Regardless what lawless Obama’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from Supreme Court case decisions mady by previous generations of state sovererignty-respecting justices.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Patriots need to support Trump in draining the unconstitutonally big federal government swamp, including getting the fed’s big noses out of 10th Amendment-protected INTRAstate healthcare issues.
Just a few years ago, doctors were willing to consider a link between so-called transgenderism in children, and Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy in their parents. Nowadays, any such suggestion gets you branded a bigot/transphobic.
One of the pioneers pushing trans therapy for children, in fact, is Herbert Schreier of the Oakland, CA Children’s Hospital.
This guy’s resume reveals he specializes in Munchausen by Proxy. IOW, he clearly recognizes the syndrome, but he apparently knows it’s lucrative to ignore it!
Here’s a 2007 article in which Schreier is featured, much more balanced than anything that can be published today. The reporter—without saying so directly—details the glaring evidence of Munchausen in the lesbian parents.
It’s long—6 pages—but well worth the time.

In other words, when it happens it is a stage and kids get over it.
Who is telling these children that they were born the wrong sex? IMO, that may very well be a form of child abuse, as the actions necessary to make a change involve either drugging or mutilating children. What’s next in the US? Will female genital mutilation be A-OK?
Another positive rebuke of the Leftist insanity. Good.
I’ve said it a MILLION times on this board and on twitter.
NINETY FIVE PERCENT decide to stay the “gender” they are by 18.
But sicko perverts and helpful idiot parents are feeding the underage frenzy.
Get government out of healthcare NOW!
Medicare and Medicaid I can put up with for now. All other government regulations, etc. should stop immediately.
Medicare and Medicaid should be replaced in the near future with programs that do not rely on the government. Obamacare likewise.
Hopefully there will be more like decisions as Trump is able to reshape the Judiciary.
