“The decision upheld a lower court’s ruling that the state’s policy went against the state’s civil rights act, which protects against gender-identity discrimination. “

Maybe the problem isn’t with the judges but is with the legislators.

So what actual life threatening illnesses must be denied in order to pay for these mutilations? What part of the education and other mandated state expenditures must be slashed to meet this ruling?

Mutilating genitals is not “life saving”.

Liberals are a terrible bunch in that they do not help the mentally ill, they enable them to mutilate themselves.

A significant percentage of those who go under sex reassignment surgery have second thoughts some years later and get switch back surgery. it seems that those with self-image emotional problems can’t be appeased with multiple plastic surgeries, they find the issue is in their head, not what they do to their outsides.

“...the Iowa Department of Human Services discriminated against two women...”

I’m confused. Were they women BEFORE the surgery, or hoping to become women AFTER?

How is tax money paying for sex changing of a FEW people representative to the whole of the tax paying public? Socialism at its worst. Ruling needs to be challenged!

“the womens’ medical providers determined the surgeries were medically necessary to treat their gender dysphoria”

How is this not straight-up medical fraud? Whoever made this determination ought to be prosecuted.

No, I don’t think so.

Not as long as I have anything to say about it.

Since when do I and my fellow citizens have to pay for elective surgeries?

Are they going to pay for nose jobs, face lifts, and other forms of cosmetic surgery too?

Where do they get these lame ass judges?

Are they going to cover cosmetic surgery for people who feel ugly?

I’m with you, not only are trannies suffering from a mental disorder but these judges that make these type rulings are too.

I do not understand what court, and on what basis, ever recognized the state of being “transgender” as a real phenomenon.

It’s one thing for a man to think he’s a woman. It’s quite another thing for the courts to agree.

If a sickie wants to change its sex, let IT pay for it

It's not an "it", it's a man, or a woman.

And people can't change their sex.
