GOP votes to ban federally funded health care for transgenders

[rahl]

What is good about denying necessary medical care for a minority?

It isn’t necessary. Anymore than lasik is necessary.

Can we in the spirit of the Golden Rule equally deny needed medical care for you and your family?

Cosmetic surgery isn’t needed medical care.

 

[Phys251]

it isn’t needed. It’s purely cosmetic.

Suppose for the sake of argument it were. So? Why ban adults from getting gender confirmation surgery since it doesn't hurt you?

 

[rahl]

Suppose for the sake of argument it were.

We don’t need to suppose. It’s by definition, cosmetic.

So?

So, you can pay for it. Not tax payers. Unless you want to pay for my LASIK

Why ban adults from getting gender confirmation surgery since it doesn't hurt you?

Nobody is banning it. I’m just not going to pay for anyone’s cosmetic surgery. You can pay for it.

Sorry, I have to agree with this.

Hey do you realize that cisgender children also need puberty blockers? Or do you not realize that your healthcare is theoretically as elective as anyone else's healthcare?

We need to ban this word from the dictionary.

Do new words trigger you? Are you also triggered by heterosexual?

We need new words to manipulate, no other reason.
BTW, who is it that was triggered? Lol

Nobody is being manipulated by the word cisgender. How does it manipulate you?

It accurately describes peoiple who are not transgender or nonbinary.

 

[j brown's body]

It’s both elective treatment and elective surgery.

No it wasn’t.

"Gender-affirming surgery is widely accepted as a medically necessary intervention for appropriately selected patients with gender dysphoria."

So has the word straight forever.

Are you triggered by the word straight? Your game is boring.

There are heterosexual transgender people who are straight.

It’s elective and cosmetic. Just like LASIK is. You can have all the cosmetic surgery you want. You just aren’t getting tax payer money to do it. Sorry.

No offense, but I'll take the AMA's opinion over yours.

 

[rahl]

No offense, but I'll take the AMA's opinion over yours.

I don’t care what you take. You still won’t be getting tax payer money for elective surgeries.

 

[j brown's body]

I don’t care what you take. You still won’t be getting tax payer money for elective surgeries.

As we see, they aren't elective surgeries.

This is simply sadistic cruelty directed at .006% of the population.

 

[rahl]

As we see, they aren't elective surgeries.

As we know. These are entirely elective surgeries. Someone suffering from delusions doesn’t NEED their dick chopped off. That isn’t medical care. It’s cosmetic surgery.

Again, the AMA says youre wrong.

Why do you cling to a false notion?

 

[rahl]

Again, the AMA says youre wrong.

Appeal to authority fallacy.

Why do you cling to a false notion?

I don’t. I deal in reality. Having surgery that is not medically necessary, is by definition elective. You won’t be getting elective surgery anymore using tax payer money. You can not like it all you want. Too bad.

Appealing to rahl and ignoring doctors on medical issues is logical?

Rotflmao!

You try to hard.

It's hysterical.

Keep posting, please.

Facts are facts. Can't change them just deny them.

Having surgery that is not medically necessary is by definition, elective. You will no longer be getting tax payer money for elective surgery.

One strips all Medicaid and CHIP (the Children’s Health Insurance Program) funding for gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries, not just for youth but for trans people of any age. A second bans coverage for those same services under the Affordable Care Act by excluding them from the definition of “essential health benefits.”"

Why should the taxpayers be on the hook for gender affirming care, puberty blockers for children, or hormone therapy for transitioning?

 

[Scatty Kitty]

We need to ban this word from the dictionary.

Oh so the problem isn't about elective surgeries, you just have bigoted opinions. Much simpler position to take but still one that is fundamentally bigoted.

You don't even know what my opinion on any of this is but because you identity with the far far far far far left, I must be a bigot.
