ACLU Pledges To Challenge Trump Admin In Court Over National Trans Youth Care Ban Rulehttps://www.erininthemorning.com/p/aclu-pledges-to-challenge-trump-admin>Last week, the Trump administration made headlines by pledging to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth through a rulemaking process—sidestepping Congress and the legislative process entirely. The proposed rule, RIN 0938-AV87, would bar any hospital system that participates in Medicaid or Medicare from offering gender-affirming care to transgender youth, regardless of whether that care is paid for with federal funds or privately. If enacted, it would represent the most sweeping executive overreach yet by the administration in its campaign against transgender people, and appears to be advancing precisely because similar measures—though passed by the U.S. House—face steep odds in the Senate. Now, in response, the American Civil Liberties Union has pledged to take the administration to court if the rule is finalized, vowing to challenge its implementation.>“These gratuitous proposals are cruel and unconstitutional attacks on the rights of transgender youth and their families,” said Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Rights Project. “By attempting to strip away essential healthcare, the administration is not 'protecting' anyone; it is weaponizing the federal government to target a vulnerable population for political gain. Healthcare decisions belong to families and their doctors, not politicians. The latest proposals from the administration would force doctors to choose between their ethical obligations to their patients and the threat of losing federal funding. It would uproot families who have already fled state-level bans, leaving them with nowhere to turn for the care they need to survive and thrive.”
>>42088829There is no right to chemically castrate children or inhibit their natural and healthy physical development.
>>42088829Cant wait for 6-3 decision upholding the lower court ruling that trans people must be systematically beaten to death with a rusty tire iron. The Atlantic and Slate dot com articles about how SCOTUS ignored the precedence of a 60 year old case on abortion are gonna be scatching. Ooo man, I can barely wait for Mehdi Hasan to bravely tweet "trans people shouldnt be killed"
>>42089535as a politicshon im glad they decided to set legal precedent against trannies instead of waiting for the inevitable blue wave in 2026
>>42088843and by "natural and healthy" you mean "what i find attractive", as alwaysIGM stays unbanned"precocious puberty blocking" stays unbannedbirth control stays unbannedcircumcision stays unbannedgyno surgery stays unbannedunderage cosmetic surgery stays unbannedforcing intersex kids on hormones stays unbanned
>>42089553>inevitable blue wavedemocrats are chronic ineffectual losers. at best, senate won't change and there will be +5 republican house seats due to freshly gerrymandered districts, low voter turnout, and focus on national trans bans. but hey, at least 2 democrats will flip a city council seat in rural maine and a mayoral race in iowa. that counts for something, right?
>>42089615nta but by healthy they mean not causing loss of reproductive function or stunted growth etc.
>>42089815oh, okay, good thing none of the items in the provided list do these things
>>42089848even marci bowers the head of the source of all authority on gender affirming care disagrees with you but ok.
>>42089725what happened in 2018?
>>42089912disagrees that circumcision and cosmetic surgeries on intersex kids causes stunted growth or loss of reproductive function?
