Off-Topic Transgender Legislation and Litigation

And here it is.

The end of taxpayer funded troonery for all ages.

"The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is urging states to not use Medicaid funds for gender-affirming care for minors, specifically gender reassignment surgeries or hormone treatments.

“As a doctor and now CMS Administrator, my top priority is protecting children and upholding the law,” Mehmet Oz, the recently confirmed agency head, said in a statement Friday.

“Medicaid dollars are not to be used for gender reassignment surgeries or hormone treatments in minors—procedures that can cause permanent, irreversible harm, including sterilization,” he continued. “We have a duty to ensure medical care is lawful, necessary, and truly in the best interests of patients.” The CMS sent a letter to state Medicaid agencies Friday notifying them of their responsibility to make sure program payments are “consistent with quality of care” and that covered services are in the best interest of the patient.

The letter, signed by CMS Deputy Administrator and Director Drew Snyder, claims both surgery and hormone treatments lack evidence to support that they offer long-term benefits for transgender minors and that these interventions can cause “long-term and irreparable harm.” It adds that some developed countries like the United Kingdom, Sweden and Finland have issued restrictions on the use of puberty blockers and hormone treatments on children."

CMS tells states Medicaid funds cannot be used for gender-affirming care

Thanks for the excellent news. Things get more dramatic every day. Are troon Blue states gonna risk getting cut off from Uncle Sugar bux? Will they defiantly and proudly continue kiddie “gender affirming care” anyway for FAFO entertainment? And if they get cut off from the Big Gov teat are they going to roll over and raise their own taxes to cover it? Lodge lawsuits? Stay tuned!

Well not quite

“Medicaid dollars are not to be used for gender reassignment surgeries or hormone treatments in minors—procedures that can cause permanent, irreversible harm, including sterilization,” h

I'm not sure if that means surgeries for all ages it's a bit ambitious but it's still hormones at least for adults

 

[UncleTusky]

That was my understanding as well. You only go to the "next level" if what you're doing to alleviate the dysphoria doesn't work. Being a zippertit or cutting your dick off was the LAST RESORT.

What the flying fuck happened to that?

Institutional compromise and profit: Pro troon doctors got themselves into positions of power - med schools, insurers, hospitals - along with their cronies and began pushing this stuff aggressively. Then at least in the US our insurance system pays providers based mostly on patient throughput, so a population that needs a large number of treatments for life is ideal from a financial perspective.

And here it is.

The end of taxpayer funded troonery for all ages.

Am I missing something here? The linked article only seems to discuss treatments for minors, not adults (though hopefully Oz will cross that bridge soon enough . . .).

ETA: Ninja'd.

The guidance, which was last amended in 2010, is considered to be “out of date” by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

Although the headline sounds promising, lets not forget that these are the same retards whose stupidly written regulations got the UK into this mess in the first place.

Transgender people will be routinely asked to present Gender Recognition Certificates

And there it is.
A piece of government issued paper costing £5 that is self certified.

 

[expectant asshole]

Two steps forward one step back. Like Nero said, a form and a fiver and any man can “become” a woman. It’s a start, but now we need to repeal the GRA.

Tony Reed is completely losing his shit.

What Anthony fails to realize is that this is one of the few things Trump is doing to sell himself to the masses. This is the will of the "Silent Majority". This is the popular shit people love. Let people pay for their own transitions, as they have in the past and should resume doing. These wishy-washy cosmetic hangups should be for adults capable of consent and should certainly not be on the taxpayers' dime.

Out of all the controversial stuff (not taking a stance on his actions but by the literal meaning, "controversial" as the adjective "divisive and creating disagreement") his administration has done, this is his golden goose. This is what the people want and this is his silver lining and/or best selling point, depending on where you land politically. My vaguely liberal ass can say "at least the trains troons run on time pay on their dime".

"BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary’s parliament on Monday passed an amendment to the constitution that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities, a decision that legal scholars and critics call another step toward authoritarianism by the populist government.

The amendment, which required a two-thirds vote, passed along party lines with 140 votes for and 21 against. It was proposed by the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition led by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Ahead of the vote — the final step for the amendment — opposition politicians and other protesters attempted to blockade the entrance to a parliament parking garage. Police physically removed demonstrators, who had used zip ties to bind themselves together.

The amendment declares that children’s rights to moral, physical and spiritual development supersede any right other than the right to life, including that to peacefully assemble. Hungary’s contentious “child protection” legislation prohibits the “depiction or promotion” of homosexuality to minors aged under 18."

You're right and this is the kind of damage that will take decades to undo: Trump's order + the response to it have made it clear that troons' claim public opinion is on their side is a load of BS, while troons' decision to die on the hill of gender treatments for minors undercuts any argument that these treatments are not a big deal or backed by The Science (tm). They've always been a tiny minority of freaks, Trump proved it with a few statements that would have been uncontroversial in the 2010s, and now their political influence is rapidly collapsing.

Can the Associated Press explain to me, please, what on earth its obviously-meant-to-be-a-slur "populist" means, and how it is different to "democratic"?

From the context, "populist" seems to mean "democratically-elected politicians making policy that the majority of the electorate wants".

But only if the policy is right-of-centre. Otherwise, it isn't anything so nasty as "populist". Left-of-centre policy is just "democratic".

It means ‘pandering to online opinion’, I suspect. You know, like the whole tranny thing, only when it goes the other way it’s somehow automatically wrong.

TERF Island Supreme Court continues its genocide with an unanimous decision that yes, "woman" refers to biological sex.

Supreme Court rules the term sex refers to 'biological women'published at 11:02

UK Supreme Court judge Lord Hodge announces that the Equality Act’s definition of a woman is based on biological sex.

He counsels not to see this as a triumph for one side over another and stresses the law still gives trans people protection against discrimination.

I think we will need legal commentary on what the fallout will mean. And I don't trust the insane Scottish legislature to amend the legislation as much as possible to make it do what they wanted (including removing 'sex' from the Equality Act)
