Transition Affirming Protocols is child abuse

Image
Pediatric “gender clinics” are considered elite centers for affirming children who are distressed by their biological sex. This distressful condition, once dubbed gender identity disorder, was renamed “gender dysphoria” in 2013. In 2014, there were  24 of these gender clinics , clustered chiefly along the east coast and in California . One year later, there were 40 across the nation. With  215 pediatric residency programs  now training future pediatricians in a transition-affirming protocol and treating gender-dysphoric children accordingly, gender clinics are bound to proliferate further. Last summer, the federal government stated that it would not require Medicare and Medicaid to cover transition-affirming procedures for children or adults because medical experts at the Department of Health and Human Services found the risks were often too high, and the benefits too unclear. Undeterred by these findings, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health has pressed ahea

US mainstream media ignore arrest of gay activist and Democratic donor

Terry Bean has made media and political waves as a co-founder of the gay “rights” group Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and a major fundraiser and bundler for President Obama and other prominent Democrats. He has been a hugely influential figure in the Obama administration’s decision to change how the federal government looks at marriage. Changes include a statement by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder that state Attorneys General   could ignore state marriage amendments ,  an Executive Order  in 2014 that gives LGBT Americans the same worker protections as women and racial minorities for federal employees and contractors, and the elimination of single-sex classrooms and schools if they receive federal funding. Additionally, the Obama administration has declared that Medicare funding  can be used for transgender surgeries . Given this influence, you might expect U.S. media to intensely focus on the dramatic legal proceedings that have taken place since November, when  Bean was

Obama admin requires insurance companies to cover same-sex couples

Image
WASHINGTON, D.C. , March 19, 2014 – Trying to boost enrolment numbers as March 31 approaches, the Obama administration is taking new executive actions, including requiring insurance companies participating in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to cover same-sex couples . Bloomberg   reports  that the administration has ordered same-sex couples to be treated as “families” by insurers participating in the ACA exchanges. Judicial Crisis Network Chief Counsel Carrie Severino says “the move shows Obama administration is not interested in respecting a state's inherent authority in this area. They're simply pursing a political end.”  The administration has made over a dozen changes to the ACA, some of which have been declared illegal by Republicans. Last year, the president said the health care law was “settled,” only weeks before delaying  the application of the individual insurance mandate , and mere months before  delaying  several other components of the law.  Last year,

Creating Change, which begins today in Houston, Texas , promotes: the “homosexualization” of Christianity; extreme transgender activism including laws allowing transgender “girls” and “women” (read: boys/men in dresses) to use female restrooms; pro-homosexual/transgender programs in schools (even for very young students); and sadomasochism . Creating Change is the organizing event for more than 3,000 LGBT (lesbian, “gay,” bisexual and “transgender”) activists across the nation – with “how to” workshops on: Redefining Christianity with pro-h

Obama administration may add taxpayer-funded sex-change operations to ObamaCare, Medicare, Medicaid

DES MOINES, IA ,  – The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is one of the most controversial laws in America because of its mandates, taxes, and coverage of elective abortions with a $1 surcharge. Now, there may be another reason for debate on the law's merits: taxpayer-funded “gender reassignment” surgery. The law may fund costs related to gender reassignment,  according to Andi Medici  in FederalTimes.com. Since 1981, federal law has barred federal tax dollars from paying for "transsexual surgery" through programs like Medicare and Medicaid . On December 2, the HHS Department's appeals board  decided  that the “ National Coverage Determination ” should be reconsidered, opening the door to taxpayer-funded sex-change operations .  Medici adds that  Section 1557  of the Affordable Care Act, conventionally known as ObamaCare , no longer explicitly states that the federal subsidies will not require coverage for transgender-related surgeries. Since the ACA does prev

Sebelius promotes Obamacare benefits targeted at high-risk homosexuals

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) As the Obama Administration gears up to celebrate “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month” throughout June, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced  Monday that meeting the special needs of homosexuals will be a targeted goal of Obamacare because “for too long...[they] were pushed to the side.” “For too long, the health concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals were pushed to the side,” Sebelius said in a  statement . “LGBT individuals have faced limited access to health care and insurance. They have been less likely to get the preventive care they need to stay healthy, they have higher rates of tobacco use, and they are often at increased risk for mental health illness.” Rather than discouraging high-risk homosexual behaviors, Sebelius highlighted special programs and regulations that address the medica
