Kaiser Permanente to stop gender-affirming surgeries for patients under 19

13. Tbh I do not believe any gender affirming care will exist within a year or so.

Trump is the mouse that keeps being given the cookie, and, he’s going to keep pushing until he can’t anymore.

We are not acting like Europe because the entire intention is to placate the religious right. The reason that the ban is on 19 and under and not 18 was to test banning GAC entirely for adults, which they will at least try in the coming year or next.

If you happen to agree with this decision, I would caution you to be careful. They are not doing this based on scientific evidence. They are cleaning house on members of society they have deemed “undesirable,” based on religious motivations. You are somewhere on that list as well, just by being on this website. Most of the US is somewhere on that list.
