The Obama administration unveiled two broad initiatives Friday aimed at combating discrimination against transgender Americans in schools and health-care coverage, affirming the president’s goal of elevating transgender protections to one of the central civil rights issues of his presidency.

The moves, both of which had been in the works for years, prompted an immediate backlash from conservatives who disparaged the measures as government overreach. […]

Only this fool would make the coddling of .03% of the population a center piece of anything while ignoring the murder of millions of babies on his watch.

what is his OBSESSION with TG/TV/f...ts whatever?

does he know that NINETY PERCENT decide to stay their own gender by 18 and the psychiatrists think this whole thing is insane.

it’s like a woody allen movie where the power goes to the dictator’s head and he starts making crazy edicts.

from now on, underwear must be worn on the outside.

And anyone under 18, is now 18.

Bananas. Funny movie :)

There have been enough rumors about Michelle being a male-to-female transexual; all this pro-so-called “transgender” stuff makes it seem like a personal thing with Barack.

.03% of the population

Not even 3%. More like three tenths of one percent, or .003.

PAP smears for everyone?
CA ruled that insurers had to provide fertility care for gay couples a few years ago. Then they wonder why the premiums keep going up.

I suspect this can all be traced back to the Film Actors Guild.

I want a boob job. I don’t feel comfortable with my size. It caused me a lot of insecurities growing up. I think that my health insurance should cover this cosmetic surgery for me!

What about race identity? Like in, what race is the president?
I guess he thinks he lost in the coin toss but it got him

So now his legacy will be “the Obama fruit friendly presidency.” Why would any President want that?

Somethings up, the admin is doing the “look at the shiny bobble” trick with this story. What are they up to behind the scenes is what I want to know.
