4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans
They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

a lovely friend invited me to an event that was something i wished I could do for my entire life
it was in a supremely unsafe state for trans people
and i had to tell her I couldnβt go because of it
like if I needed to go to the hospital there theyβd medically detransition me
I can not risk that

I agree with this and it's something for which community groups should already be developing concrete plans. I think reparations are already due.

New horrors on the way for trans adults in the UK... (When they did a similar review for trans teens, they threw out 97% of all studies and then basically went "wow, there's not any research to demonstrate this if effective; guess we gotta ban it.") Now it looks like they're doing same for adults.

Since we're talking Polio.
In 2016 I got a Polio booster. The shot we get is considered "good enough" if you're living in places where polio is eradicated, but a booster is considered a good idea if you're going to places where Polio is still actively circulating.

Thatβs what he was installed to do and heβs doing it.
Because RFK Jr. has allied himself with major corporate interests in America that saw how COVID threatened their bottom lines and said βnever again.β
