United States District Court Chief Judge Peter Welte blocked the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from enforcing an Obamacare mandate that requires all medical professionals to perform gender transition services.
"Given that there are plenty of doctors who are ready, willing, and able to perform transgender surgeries, there is no valid reason for coercing those who object to performing such procedures on religious or conscience grounds. The notion that any surgeon needs to be compelled to engage in what he or she considers to be either sacrilegious or destructive mutilation defies logic and morality. The results of compelling unwilling doctors to perform this surgery are likely to be unsatisfactory to the aspiring gender changer."
Xavier Becerra, who has been nominated by President Biden to lead HHS, vowed that "this judge's decision will not stand. In the unified America the Biden Administration is trying to build it is everyone's duty to fulfill the role assigned to him or her by the President and the Party. The role assigned to me is to ensure that every jot and tittle of the Obamacare regulations is fully enforced. The mandates of the Affordable Care Act are not optional. Health care consumers are entitled to complete coverage and the unconstrained choice of practitioners. No health care provider has any cause to refuse to provide the requested service. An opinion that the requested service is unwise or unhealthy cannot override the patient's demand that it be provided by the surgeon of his or her choice."

“Surgeons? We don’t need no steenkin’ Surgeons! We got Clifton Clowers!”
“They say don’t go on Wolverton Mountain
If you’re looking for a wife
‘Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He’s mighty handy with a gun and a knife”

I wonder if one day a child could force their parent to undergo sex-change operations.
Sure. Child feels deprived because her friend has two mommies. Court hears case and orders her dad to transition to female to rectify this inequity.
