The Biden administration is reversing a rule initiated by former President Donald Trump that defined “sex” as biological, in an effort to prevent “discrimination” against (transgender) people in health care practices, the Department of Health and Human Services announced on Monday.
The notice of enforcement, while not a binding federal rule, signals that the federal government will begin interpreting Section 1557 — the non-discrimination provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — to include a ban on discrimination based on sexual identity, rather than simply banning discrimination based on biological sex, as the Trump administration had. The change will likely require that states, which set their own Medicaid eligibility requirements, provide gender-reassignment surgery and hormone therapy to Medicaid recipients.

It is not enough to just force this stuff on us ... they insist that we all pay for sex changes and the like.
Yeah, because... the party of science...
Discrimination against Male and Female ,LOL
Sorry, I will stick with the defined biological definition that has been the truth for several millenniums.
Next up, genetics as a social construct
Yay! We can cancel all the biology courses and ditch the genetic testing, it’s all a fiction
I’ll bet sloe joe’s mother would have been proud of him . . . . /sarc
When Leftist ‘biological science’ collides with actual biological science.......
Genesis 1:27
...and Biden calls himself a Catholic......perhaps, in name only.

The party of “science” marches on.
Genetics is a social construct. For example I am genetically human but self-identify as an endangered Indonesian yellow crested cockatoo. I am protected from harassment by International and Federal law.
We live in truly medieval times: chromosomes haven’t been discovered, no one knows how men are different from women, etc.
And so no wonder we question how long Gods going to continue putting up with us....’depraved minds’ and ‘sexual perverts’ are ruling this country now.
Awesome! Think of all the affirmative action I can get as a female POC!
Believe the science. Unless it’s biology, then is subjective at best.
I wonder if, in the spirit of revisionism, the HHS can redefine Stupidity as a form of intelligence? That would certainly let them off the hook.
Why don’t we redefine PI while we’re at it.
This has NO scientific basis and is purely Marxist wish thinking.
