Eliminating taxpayer-funded coverage for experimental gender modification procedures in federal health plans is a reasonable policy decision. The administration is simply removing coverage for chemical and surgical interventions that alter sex traits, not denying anyone employment or basic healthcare. Federal workers retain comprehensive health benefits, while this specific category of elective procedures is excluded from coverage starting in 2026. This is a sound policy for the American people.
Stripping gender-affirming care from federal health insurance is blatant sex-based discrimination designed to purge transgender employees and families from government service. Major medical organizations like the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics endorse this care, yet the administration ignores medical consensus to target vulnerable Americans and their children with medically necessary treatments.
