Trump administration finalizes rollback of healthcare protections for transgender patients, women

They want the government between the doctor and some people, the ones who aren't white, male, and straight.

As threatened last month, the Trump administration is rolling back healthcare protections for transgendered people and for women seeking reproductive health care. It is scrapping rules from the Obama administration that extended these protections, in the name of religion.

It finalized rules earlier this month making it easier for healthcare workers to refuse to provide contraception, vaccinations, and abortions based on their religious or moral beliefs. Now that exemption will extend to health care for transgender patients. This latest proposed rule is being done, the administration says, to make its regulations "more consistent" with other agencies. One of those agencies is the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which is also issuing a new rule to allow HUD-funded homeless shelters to refuse to assist homeless people based on their sex and/or gender identity.

All in the name of "Christianity" and religious freedom. "This is not about free health care or special treatment," said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. "It’s about the right of every American to be treated with dignity when they walk into an emergency room, meet a new doctor or find the right insurance plan."

It's not about religion. It's about erasing millions of people. It's about subjugating women. It's about punishing LGBTQ people. It started with undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers and it's spreading. How long until the administration starts requiring people it views as undesirable wear patches designating their "crime" against Trump's society?
