A lawsuit filed by the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on behalf of two men living as women has reached a settlement that will force Georgia’s Medicaid program to pay for sex change surgeries and other transgender treatment.

Shon Thomas and Gwendolyn Cheney, claimed that Georgia Medicaid had discriminated against the men, which the Hill repeatedly calls women in its reporting.

“Gender-affirming surgeries are safe, effective, and medically necessary,” Taylor Brown, a staff attorney with the ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Project, said earlier this week. “The ability to obtain gender-affirming surgical care, regardless of socioeconomic status, is an important factor in eliminating systemic health disparities and inequities that many transgender people face.”




Congrats on your leadership under KEMP!

I thought they were no longer considered men the second they identified as women or one of 50 other mythical genders.

I never believed that I would wind up living in a world where mutilation of one's own body is both financed and encouraged.

But here I am.

Yeah, I’m not for this. I just don’t think we all should be paying for these people to have a sex change. If they want to do it, fine, but on their dime. It’s too easy when someone else pays for it, just too easy. This isn’t a decision that should be fostered by Government money. There has to be a hurdle to make these people think, that they are really sure of their decision IMO….

The good news is these surgeries will cost far less than the eventual lawsuits against the state for recommending these medieval procedures.

The total cost of something like that is astronomical. First, cutting off your wang. Then rehab. Then long recovery with several doctor visits.

Not to mention the years of therapy those weirdos will require....all on the govt dime.

But transgenderism doesn’t affect anyone but the people who are pretending to be the opposite sex.

I’ve learned that from many of our posters here.

It’s probably $80k to get started. If you want to get face sculpting and bone sculpting, it gets a lot more expensive.
