Eight Democrat-nominated judges shoved transgender surgery closer to becoming a constitutional right via their decision Monday in a federal appeals court.
No Democrat-nominated judges voted with the six Republican-nominated judges who strenuously denounced the court’s decision, further demonstrating how transgenderism has quickly become a litmus test for ambitious progressives in the Democratic Party.
The majority decision in the Fourth Circuit federal appeals court said existing constitutional rules forbidding sexual discrimination also forbid denials of transgender surgeries in state-run healthcare programs.
Any denial of the surgeries cannot be enforced without first deciding if the patient is male or female by checking their biology and asking for their “gender identity,” the court said. Judge Roger Gregory wrote that the determination of male or female status would be “obviously discriminatory” because:
The exclusions cannot function without relying on direct — not just proxy-based — [sex and gender] discrimination … While the exclusion may apply to everyone, for many treatments, it is only relevant to transgender individuals. The billionaire-backed supporters of transgenderism say the federal government must enforce the wishes of people who say their unverifiable sense of “gender identity” is more important than their male or female sex — whether in sports, bathrooms, workplaces, or civic awards. Transgender people comprise less than one percent of the population, and their political demands would prevent the remaining 99 percent of Americans from recognizing that the two sexes have different but complementary needs and preferences.
A small share of adults who claim to be transgender undergo genital surgery. However, a significant number of older teenagers and 20-something youths undergo irreversible surgeries amid a chaotic, diversified culture.

If I were a grandma I'd self-identify as a youthful 18 year old woman and demand the state pay for a facelift and liposuction.
That would be fair, don't you think?
Transgenderism is a mental disorder, not a sex.
F these judges. The answer is no.
Nope. Refuse.
This will bring down the Republic. We will become independent states. I will not comply with their ridiculous “transgender” edicts.
As more of these types of decisions are handed down, sure, some people will comply. But there will be those who will not, and the seeds of civil war will be more firmly planted in a society going to blazes.
Biologyphobic judges should be removed from the bench.
It is either elective cosmetic surgery or it is maiming. Neither should be covered by insurance.
The money should be taken from the court budget then.
Nope
dox the judges
it is going to take the supreme court to stop all the trans nonsense
Just wasn't his thing. Science 'n' Stuff ya know.
Everyone in America has grown up with printed, fiat money, where member banks get bailed out by the Federal Reserve, and Federal Government can create infinite debt, for all their political schemes, which can be purchased via monetization, in one way or another, by our Central Bank.
So it allows for “infinite rights” and it allows costs to be born by everyone, and no one at the same time.
Anyone connected to our vast, bloated political and government apparatus can’t imagine a world without it.
States tell judges to . . .
I only read the first part but from the ruling, it says that they cannot determine sex/gener without discriminating. So what if I said I wanted a hysterectomy? Since I am male, that is a physical impossibility so what the heck?
Glad I am almost 80 and will not have to put up with this stuff much longer. The US is lost. I am preparing my apology letter to my children and grandchildren for the damage my generation has done to them and the United States.
This does not strike me as "Putting the Woke away".
Libs are all weirdos and perverts. Either that or they all support them however possible. All of them. All.
I turned 60 yesterday. I think a lot of us have got some soul searching for stuff we suppported in the past, or let go, and what it ended up doing.
