Children's hospital brings back gender affirming care

Just a reminder that the Republican President does not yet actually have the power of a king. He just needs people to believe that he does.

That's good. I do suspect that this will be eventually changed to that Federal funding will not be used but it will be done on that hospital's dollar. Which means not as many will be done but at least it won't be zero.

I think alot of the all or nothing policies Trump is being put forward will be challenged and altered to this. Of course his supporters will declare victory over this anyway as they will say this was Trump's intentions anyway.
I got nothing to say here.

The problem with trying to ban gender affirming care is its a wide spectrum. For example if someone is having a mastectomy operation due to for say breast cancer that might fall under gender affirming care.

Or, say, treatments for erectile dysfunction.

That's the one thing they're very careful with when writing these. They always explicitly say it's only banned for trans people; cis people getting the exact same treatment is fine. Even for puberty blockers where they're pretending to believe it's a dangerous experimental treatment; perfectly fine and somehow long proven safe as long as the kid isn't trans.
One can only match, move by move, the machinations of fate... and thus defy the tyrannous stars.

Don't worry. Anything involving men will not be harmed. Can't get the dick up? Here is money to fix it. Even getting vasectomies won't be that much of an issue even if it's birth control.

Hell if there was legit ways of getting a bigger dong, that would be encouraged through insurance.
