Trump administration prepares rule that civil rights groups worry may deny care to transgender patients

A gay pride flag flies alongside the U.S. flag in front of the Asbury United Methodist Church in Prairie Village, Kan.

This month, as part of an 18-page filing in a Texas lawsuit, Trump administration officials at HHS said that they agree the Obama-era rule is illegal and that they are rewriting it. The potential new HHS rule is part of a broader effort by social conservatives in the Trump administration to change the language around LGBTQ people in official documents, regulations and the law to represent more traditional views on relationships and rights. This includes adding references to “marriage between man and woman” and removing terms such as gender rights.

HHS, in a draft rule related to foster and adoptive care published April 19 in the Federal Register, argued that a third of states surveyed recommended such information be removed due to its self-reported nature, which might make it unreliable, and its sensitive nature. “[T]hey questioned the implications of having this information in a government record,” HHS wrote.

“They believe those procedures could be deeply harmful and as a matter of religious beliefs, they don’t want to be involved,” said Goodrich, senior counsel with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

Don't worry - act as if it will harm TG patients. Never give these evilGOP monsters the benefit of the doubt.

Obama made The change from the word sex to gender identity. This would reverse that. That's a good thing.

'Care?'

FakeNews

I’m at a coffee shop with a friend who’s a doctor. He’s happy he now has grounds to refuse treatment to evangelicals.

If healthcare providers do not want to care for people because of “religious” reasons, then they should get out of the healthcare business. And the religion business for that matter.

What in the heavens sake is he doing ? 😑

SCOTUS is relying on science, and only science deniers disagree?

That’s a seriously dopey and confirmation bias laden story. Hogwash!

This makes me mad! Everyone deserves medical care😤😤

'worry may deny?' solid reporting.

May being the operative word, facts & evidence no longer matter as things MAY HAPPEN!

What don’t they worry about?

no compensation without ovulation

Gender is just about how you dress and how you style your hair.
