This new bill, signed into law by President Joe Biden, includes a provision that limits access to gender-affirming care services for the children of people serving in the military.

This whole thread is fucking disappointing. Yes it’s super shitty that tricare isn’t going to cover trans kids. We just had a budget showdown where Elon fucking Musk tried to tank the entire nation. Biden signed this shit and said he hated that he had to do it because it excluded trans kids.
I’m no Biden fan but holy shit get your course corrected and get ready friends because this ain’t shit compared to what’s to come.
Agreed. The political ignorance of the common American is why it is so easy able to drive these wedges.
Anyone pissed at Biden about this is not a politically smart person and are easily manipulated becuase they not only lack political intelligence but lack the ability to gauge their lack of political intelligence.
They could have just not funded the government/military, I would be fine with that.
Yea they could have. But Biden didn’t shut down paychecks for regular folks right at christmas…
You’d be fine with that.
Biden had ample opportunity to end these budget hostage sessions, but he rejected them all.
When did Biden control legislation? Did I miss him giving multiple vetoes to previous bills? The hell does this have to do with him and not every republican screwing up congress?
If the DNC had chosen to run progressive policies we wouldnt be here. But they didnt and here we are.
They should have. Obama running on “change” should have clued them into something. But still, Biden didn’t elect this congress, nor write this bill, nor did he cause this mess we’re in. It’s fair to say dems didn’t swing hard enough, but the GOP has an unrelenting presence, propelling the problem and yet getting votes. Thats on Fox News not Biden.
Better than picking disposable section of society to throw under the bus in the name of compromise, why do Trump’s work for him?
THAT IS picking disposable sections of society to throw under the bus. What are you taking about?
“we just had to do whatever Trump wanted otherwise ‘regular folk’ might get affected slightly”
You know, the “regular folks”, the military members without trans children. Not the weirdos who also serve but have kids who are trans. It would be really tragic if the regular folks were inconvenienced.
Yea do what trump wanted… like defunding the gov. What are you talking about?
defunding the US military would be a great thing tbh
Yeah, they did deny lifesaving care to trans kids, and you support this bill for that reason alone.
That’s a fuck ton to read into someone just saying we should pay people… but the trans BUT THE TRANS! No one is disagreeing with you but yourself. Well also the GOP… SO WHAT ABOUT THE TRANS!!!
I mean for fucks sake we just had Elon Musk wave his dick around and influence this legislation and this whole thread is blaming Biden… some smooth brain shit going on here.
The only thing it’s denying is surgery that could cause sterilization. A thing that is pretty rare for children to undergo.
HRT can cause sterilization. It’s very safe, but it can. The UK conservatives just banned puberty blockers on the claim that it could cause sterilization. There’s nothing reasonable about this innocuous line. It’s a carte blanche to stop all coverage.
Is that ever performed on minors for gender reassignment reasons anyway? It seems like a weird thing to ban. What’s next, are they going to make it illegal to perform GRS on dead people?
It is, but it’s not common. There’s a metric fuck ton of hurdles that have to be jumped through, so it’s basically just a dog whistle used to justify banning any gender affirming care.
Ah, so same playbook as abortion with those scary ‘late stage abortions’ that are basically exclusively done to rescue people from dangerous and nonviable pregnancies.
Exactly
