Two bills that would strengthen protections for transgender people and gender-affirming care won preliminary approval in the Colorado House on Friday.

They come as transgender rights and protections are put on shaky ground at the federal level under the Trump administration, which has issued orders to recognize only two unchangeable genders, stop offering non-binary passport gender markers, and attempts to stop funding care for transgender minors.

House Bill 25-1309, sponsored by Titone, would codify into state law existing state public health rules about gender-affirming health care coverage. It would make it illegal for health insurers to deny or limit care deemed medically necessary by a doctor, which could include hormone therapy and procedures like facial surgery, breast augmentations and genital reconstruction

And what about people who believe they’re “God”? Will they get protections with their delusions too?

There is this delusion that doctors are all Gods and never work against the interest of a patient or aren’t, for lack a better word, just evil. And many are.

‘which has issued orders to recognize only two unchangeable genders’. I wonder what gender that thing is?

BREAKING: Colorado House Democrats just passed a bill that classifies “misgendering” your own child as child abuse.

It could cause you to LOSE CUSTODY if you don’t “affirm” your child’s chosen gender.
