On Wednesday, April 16, two members of the Boston City Council introduced an ordinance to require that health insurance for city employees cover "transgender" sex-change procedures, including hormone treatments and "gender reassignment" surgery. This is the latest demand of the homosexual / transgender movement in many cities across the country.
It was introduced by City Councilors Michelle Wu and Ayanna Pressley, two of the most liberal on an already left-wing Boston City Council. They worked closely with local homosexual activists, according to press reports. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, an aggressive pro-homosexual advocate, told the press that he is "wholeheartedly in support" of it.
It was applauded by the usual crowd. "This ordinance is a pivotal step toward ensuring that transgender city workers have access to comprehensive healthcare coverage just like all other city workers," Kara Coredini, Executive Director of the LGBT lobbying group MassEquality told the press.
According to a number of sources, this is part of an overall strategy to eventually make coverage of transgender hormone treatments and sex-change surgery mandatory for all health insurance nationwide. The national groups "Human Rights Campaign" and "Lambda Legal" are providing ammunition for this push.
The tactics are similar to those the homosexual movement used pushing "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" non-discrimination laws throughout America. In both cases, they started with private corporations, then some small cities and towns, then bigger cities in liberal areas, and eventually capturing entire states. In this case, they sometimes start with "lower level" mandates, such as hormone treatment, and then later push for full sex-change surgery coverage.
As part of that push, the national radical LGBT group Human Rights Campaign now requires cities to include sex-change operations to get their coveted 100-percent pro-LGBT rating, similar to the rating they give large corporations. And the local radical lobby will not settle for anything less, and clearly has the power to enforce that.
Among other things, this policy would certainly attract some very disturbed people to work for the City of Boston. Is this really what the citizens want?
Boston City Council proposing to require city employee health insurance to pay for sex-change operations and other "transgender" treatments.
Delusions are awfully expensive to maintain.
But of course Boston will pay for sex change operations.
They have to bend over backwards to prove how liberal they are.
The way political discourse is nowadays, opposition to sex change operations is considered hate speech and bigoted against the trans-whatever peoples.
Do you think they cover treatment for hoplophobia?
but what if you don’t want a sex change ?
