How is a boob job and changing genitals to look like the other sex a “medically necessary” surgery that we should all pay for?

I wonder if you contacted the ACLU would they help you. Sometimes I think conservatives need to use the evil organizations since they are the. Maybe if conservatives begin using them, liberals will turn of them and finally we can rid ourselves of them. Fight fire with Fire.

If you showed the Founding Fathers this story, they’d think we have gone insane on so many levels.

This is treating mental illness with surgery.

This is like treating anorexia with bariatric (stomach-reduction) surgery.

Iowa court finds Medicaid ban on trans-species surgery is unconstitutional
Metro Weekly
| 6/7/18 | Rin T. Tin

An Iowa court has determined that the state’s ban on Medicaid coverage for medically necessary surgical care for trans-species pets is unconstitutional.

Chief District Judge Wynot Gamble of the Des Moines-based Fifth Judicial District of Iowa found that the Iowa Department of Human Services’ ban on surgical coverage violates both the Iowa Animal Welfare Act and the state’s constitution. In his opinion, Wynot Gamble ordered DHS to immediately approve requests by both doggies for pre-approval of coverage under Medicaid.

Both bitches, Princess Beal, 7 (42 in human years), of Crab Town Iowa, and Lassie “Good Dog” Good, 4 (27 in human years), of Unique Iowa, have been diagnosed with species dysphoria and legally changed their names, and had their AKC certificates, pet’s licenses, and veterinary shot cards changed to reflect their correct names and species identity. Both bitches also began hormone therapy, and were advised by their doctors to pursue surgery for treatment of their species dysphoria . . .

One more way for a corrupt blackrobe to bankrupt the country. Who would think that taxpayers would be forced to pay such a fee for these mentally deranged members of the pervert alliance. And when, will normal people stop calling them gay?

It’s genital mutilation that was initiated by ancient tribes and Muslims.

Sigh. The problems created when governments pretend things to be true that aren’t true. Slavery, holocaust, abortion, and now queer nonsense.

So you have a Constitutional Right to have me pay for you to mutilate yourself? Nonsense! The writers of the Constitution would smack you upside your silly head!

This is a MENTAL CONDITION.

There is nothing surgery can “fix”.

...medically necessary surgical care for transgender residents...

People!

Wake up!

Your tax money is paying for this crap!

Why is an "addadictomy" deemed "medically necessary surgical care"?

Transgender silliness is a mental problem.

Why is this conversation even necessary?

My country is sick.

. . . to reflect their correct names and gender identity . . .

I wonder how anybody could possibly know this.
