Trump Administration to Shield Workers Who Won’t Treat Transgender Patients
"As part of a proposed rule now under review by the White House, the Trump administration would create a new “division” of the Department of Health and Human Services’ civil-rights office that would enforce protections for health-care workers who refuse to perform abortions or treat transgender patients, Politico reports."

Trump Administration Abandons Its Obligations to Trans Students
"Huffington Post reports that it uncovered at least three cases of alleged anti-transgender discrimination that the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights dismissed over the past few months. In one case in Texas, a transgender student accused his high school of not allowing him to use the bathroom that corresponds to his gender identity or room with his teammates when they traveled overnight. In response to his complaint, the department’s Office for Civil Rights cited the administration’s rescission of the Obama guidance for its dismissal of the teenager’s complaint."

My worry continues to be the transgender women who still sit silently and support the administration. Plus those still deep in the closet who don't realize these moves could effect them as they come out. It is and has been time to resist!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds horrible and breeds hate for Trump... until I actually read the article!
DeleteIt actually says, "When the Trump administration withdrew the guidance, it sowed confusion by removing clarity. However, it did not — nor could it — remove the underlying legal requirements on school districts. Courts have repeatedly concluded that federal civil rights laws like Title IX protect transgender students against discrimination, including in the context of restroom and locker room use."
I'm one of those trans-women supporting the administration, but not sitting silently. Although I loathe him as a person, I like that he is not part of the political establishment and feel he is doing a good job as President. I also do not feel that his sins have risen to the level of egregious hatefulness of which he is accused. If that changes I will be the first in line to stone him. --StephJ
So, StephJ, as long as his War on Transgenders fails, you are ok with it.
DeleteI just wonder what they mean by refusing to treat transgenders. Does it mean what happened to Tyra Hunter, i.e., refusal of routine and/or emergency medical care or does it mean a physician who feels that blocking puberty is medically dangerous cannot be forced to do it? I have a big problem with what happened to Tyra Hunter but not with the government being unable to force professionals to surrender their own judgment. I see pictures of people who have had absurd amounts of plastic surgery and wonder how any doctor could do that. Should the government be able to order any physician who objects to such things to do it? I won't criticize anything until I've read it.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess you are against States Rights?

States Rights cannot trump Constitutional Rights.
