EACH TIME YOU THINK YOU’VE HEARD IT ALL, YOU QUICKLY DISCOVER YOU HAVEN’T.
A FEDERAL JUDGE (NATURALLY) HAS RULED THAT THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA MUST ALLOW TRANSGENDER PATIENTS COVERED BY MEDICAID TO RECEIVE GENDER TRANSFORMING SURGERY. THESE WILL BE PAID FOR, OF COURSE, BY US.
LISTEN TO HIS REASONING, IF ONE CAN CALL IT THAT. U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE ROBERT CHAMBERS SAID IT IS DISCRIMINATORY TO BAN SUCH PROCEDURES FOR MEDICAID RECIPIENTS WHILE ALLOWING OTHERS WHO DO NOT HAVE A GENDER DYSPHORIA TO GET THE SAME PROCEDURE. ONE EXAMPLE, HE SAID, IS A MASTECTOMY.
NOW, WHAT USED TO BE CALLED OBVIOUS – THAT IS A WOMAN HAS GENDER-DISTINCTIVE BREASTS AND A MAN DOESN’T AND A WOMAN IS BORN A WOMAN AND A MAN IS BORN A MAN, DOESN’T SEEM TO MATTER ANYMORE AS TRUTH HAS BECOME SUBJECTIVE.
PERHAPS THE JUDGE SHOULD SPEAK TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD GENDER CHANGING SURGERY AND REGRETTED IT AND ARE NOW TRYING TO TRANSITION BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL GENDER. WOULD HE REQUIRE WEST VIRGINIA TO PAY FOR THAT SURGERY, TOO?
JUDGE CHAMBERS WAS NOMINATED BY BILL CLINTON. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
