It’s from a place of privilege (or ignorance) when you make statements like “the parties are essentially the same” They are not. Today, further proof. #VoteDemocrat #EveryElection #EveryTime #GoJoe #Repost @latimes ・・・ The U.S. will protect gay and transgender people against sex discrimination in healthcare, the #Biden administration announced, reversing a Trump-era policy that sought to narrow the scope of legal rights in sensitive situations involving medical treatment. The action by the Department of Health and Human Services affirms that federal laws forbidding sex discrimination in #healthcare also protect gay and transgender people. The #Trump administration had defined “sex” to mean gender assigned at birth, thereby excluding transgender people from the law’s protection. “Fear of discrimination can lead individuals to forgo care, which can have serious negative health consequences,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. “Everyone — including LGBTQ people — should be able to access healthcare, free from discrimination or interference, period.” 📸: @apnews https://www.instagram.com/p/COtRV2HgSXB/?igshid=1o147ld8predt
