Restrictions on Transgender Health Care Slipped into Senate's Must-Pass Defense Bill
Restrictions on Transgender Health Care Slipped into Senate's Must-Pass Defense Bill
The military would not be able to pay for surgeries for transgender troops under the Senate's version of the must-pass annual defense policy bill, legislative text released Monday evening revealed.
Fuck you, Manchin. Burn in the deepest pit of whatever hell you believe in. You know you've earned it.
It’s not just Manchin that voted for it, other Democrats did too.
Heads up for those that follow it (aka trans folks), Biden took a turn on trans rights as well. He now supports bans on “gender affirming surgeries for trans kids”. Which is where Republicans started their crusade to try to ban all gender-affirming care for trans folks. (Yes, I know that slippery slope isn’t a valid argument, but in this case they actually started there and what they are now advocating for).
And people wonder why so many gender non-conforming folks are refusing to vote for Biden.

We all know that "gender affirming surgeries" aren't being performed on minors. Publicly being against something that doesn't happen seems more like a calculated way to get support from
moronslow-information voters. -
Like literally everyone who isn't a rich white Christian man, trans lives will get significantly worse under Trump. Rational self-interest should be reason enough to vote for Biden.

I don't wonder that, because we're not refusing to vote for Biden. Except for the suicidal trans doomers who are willing to throw their lives away making a political statement. Which is absolutely tragic, but also fuck them for risking all our lives too.
I hope it burns with the cleanest coal hell has to offer
"Must-pass defense bill"
And puts stuff into it that (hopefully) will make it impossible to pass.
I'd really like to see them pass some restrictions on religious proselytizing. I know they won't 'cause 1st Amendment, but that's what's driving the anti-trans and anti-LGBT policies.
Edit: Sorry for any spelling mistakes or grammar errors, I wrote this while tired, which causes me blurry vision.
It's Transphobia, that's what it is, all of it. There's no logical reason to FIRST target this as a budget cut, like wtf.
Within the past week or two, I've basically have been accepting the fact that I'm transgender, after literal years of questioning. It's shit like this that makes me want to closet myself back in. Why is it not normal for people to just simply have respect (human decency!) For people's varying sexualities and gender identities. It's not hurting anyone.
It may be easily seen as entirely sexual, but it's really not, because that's really correlated to love, features of your body, etc. But there so much more to it than that. All of this is normal for human beings to do, it's only been thought of being normalized in recent years, and people are just now finding comfort in being open about it.
I just want everyone to be able to (within reason) be comfortable, confident, and be open about who they love, what they feel about themselves, how they want to express themselves. And I don't mean making entire personalities about it (I think some of us have to be more involved about it, because we have to fight to exist), but not making or going out of your way to discomfort them.
Let us live, in peace, please. We don't want to hurt anybody.

End religious tax exemptions. At this point, they can't stop themselves from crossing the line. Just accept the reality they are going to be political and tax them like any other business.
Why would we care about people? Seriously?
/s
Lol WHY do they care so much about genitals that aren't theirs, and that they'll never see anyway? Aren't all these people monogamous and married?
