Biden DOJ Warns Red States Not To Restrict ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Trans Kids
freebeacon ^ | 4/4/2022 | Kevin Daley

The Biden administration's Justice Department warned states across the country on Thursday that any legislative attempt to limit access to sex-change therapies or operations for children could violate federal law.

The letter to state attorneys general from Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, states that any effort to restrict procedures available to "transgender youth" amounts to "unlawful discrimination based on their gender identity, including when seeking gender-affirming care."

Governors in several states have signed laws or issued executive orders meant to protect children from sex-change operations, hormone-blockers, and other medical interventions that switch their biological sex. An Arkansas law forbids physicians from prescribing puberty-blockers to children. And Texas governor Greg Abbott (R.) issued an executive order providing that parents attempting to change their child's gender should be referred for a child abuse inquiry.

Clarke's letter suggests that any state action that limits the availability of so-called gender-affirming care violates the Constitution and federal laws like the Affordable Care Act, which contains medical non-discrimination provisions. And it indicates, but does not explicitly warn, that the Justice Department will take action against states pursuing policies like those in Arkansas and Texas. The letter could be a precursor to a lawsuit.

"The department and the federal government more generally have a strong interest in protecting the constitutional rights of individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, nonbinary, or otherwise gender-nonconforming," the letter reads.

I can only imagine the future lawsuits.

"I was 10 years old, what made you think I could "choose" my gender?!?"

Just following the Marxist-Lenenist-Mao playbook (MLM)

The revolutionary proletariat is staunchly opposed to the attacks on homosexuality by reactionary forces such as religious fundamentalists, and to all physical assaults on, discrimination against, and government repression of homosexuals, which is so widespread and vicious in the U.S. today. In the new society, discrimination against homosexuals will be outlawed and struggled against in every sphere of society, including personal and family relations. (p. 22) ~snip

We, as Maoist revolutionaries, want to liberate all of human expression and social relations from the weight of thousands of years of traditional (oppressive) morality and institutions. So when it comes to matters of sexuality, we do not approach things in the manner of a “bedroom police.” We recognize the great variety and complexity of human sexual expression–including historically–and that the practice of human sexuality is not a static or unchanging thing. We also know that there is much that is not yet well understood–and there is therefore much to learn still–about the many different characteristics of human sexuality at both the individual and broader social levels. And, while there has been important experience in socialist society, which needs to be further summed up, we also understand that it is not possible for anyone to fully predict what forms sexual expression might take in socialist and then in communist society (and what the social “meanings” and significance of various practices might turn out to be in these new social contexts).

“..They certainly care little about the kids....”

IF they can’t offer em up to Molech in the womb, they want to groom em, mutilate em, and destroy em in life.
This is pure evil manifested within our government.

“Kids are wards of their parents,
as minors they don’t have any rights, their parents do.”

They want the children to be wards of the state. Hence they do everything they can to destroy the family unit. Even the idea of “It takes a village” got turned into the idea of the Federal Government getting involved.

Hey perverts. Kids are under the rule of their parents until they are 18. Until then, you are pedophile pinko bastards.

I think China is equally a problem, as they financially enable our Leftist political class against us, and Russia financially emboldens Environmentalists. All are the same enemy, funding different portions of the Socio-Communist goal.

From the article:Biological sex, thank God, can't be switched. It is determined by God at the moment of conception and lasts your entire lifetime.

Born an XX (female), die an XX. Born an XY (male), die an XY. Thankfully, the Good Lord above hasn't given man the ability to change DNA.

“could violate federal law.”
I’m thinking enumerated powers and where did congress, the people or the constitution give the feds this power?

As I scrolled through the comments I was hoping this issue would be raised… they have no standing, the feds don’t have this power.

How the hell do you “affirm gender” when it’s not the correct one? These pedos are going to get what’s coming for them if they keep this up.

Ah. So “gender affirming care” is the Orwellian double-speak translation of “genital mutilation of children.”

I saw pictures of several young women marching in a Boston gay pride parade. They had their breasts removed and marched in the parade topless with massive ugly scars where their breasts had once been. Years ago I saw a picture in our local newspaper of a New York gay parade. In the picture their were several men holding a large banner with the letters N.A.M.B.L.A. which stands for the North American Man Boy Love Association. This group has been around for a long time and has been featured in the news many times. Since the New York gay parade is a large event there must be a group of people that manage the parade but these parade organizers did not stop NAMBLA with their offensive and illegal message. There was a tacit approval.

Not too long ago there were scandals in the Catholic Church concerning priests who had molested children. This scandal was very widespread and shocked the nation. The Catholic Church, rather than kicking the priests out and taking them to the police instead would cover it up and move the priest to another parish far away where the offending priest would continue to abuse children.

There have been similar scandals between teachers from even the top schools and their students. These offenders were put in positions of great respect yet they betrayed their students.

Since the LGBT movement in the 1970’s the Democrats were in the forefront of this radical movement. They started with lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and now Transgender. They are slowly opening the closet doors one at a time to dull the shock of what they are doing to us. The Transgender phase is even more radical because it involves the mutilation of the human body. There is no telling what they have planned for the future.

About twenty or thirty years ago their was a group who tried to lower the age of consent in the state of New Jersey. Again this is just a deceitful way to ensnare young kids. These sickos just keep trying.

These teachers who go along with this are nothing more than child abusers and should be fired.

The “confused” people who are organized with our money are conspiring against us and our children. I am sure the word is bing passed around to go into the teaching profession where they can indoctrinate our kids and mold them into anything they want. Evil people.

That happened 50 years ago. I witnessed it in high school. They started showing up in 1971. There were zero before that.
