The New Anti-Trans Rules Are SO Much Worse Than You Think

from Why, America? with Leeja Miller · host Leeja Miller

The new rules from Medicare and Medicaid, supported by HHS director RFK Jr, are based on a faulty white paper commissioned by the HHS that lacks transparency and cherry-picks data to support an ideological narrative. The rules, which ban hospitals from providing gender affirming care to trans youth, are being pushed by a group of unqualified quacks with deep ties to Peter Thiel and bunk scientific backgrounds. This will only lead to increased stigmatization of trans youth and will not help or protect children like they claim it will.
