"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) bill would imprison doctors if they practice gender-affirming care on kids and make it harder for trans adults to access those treatments. Rep. Dan Crenshaw's (R-TX) bill would ban Medicaid from paying for anything related to trans care for minors. While Greene's bill is more brutal than Crenshaw's, it's less likely to pass the Senate."
"They will, if accepted, block all federal funding to any hospital that provides gender-affirming care to trans youth, even if that care is funded through other means. Nearly 45% of the funds hospitals get is from the federal government, so it's unlikely any hospital would turn away that funding to protect gender-affirming care. If these rules are officially adopted, trans kids and their families will have to turn to illicit - and possibly dangerous - means of getting health care, even in blue states where access to the care is legally protected."
"Reiner, who directed films like When Harry Met Sally and This Is Spinal Tap, was a strong supporter of marriage rights well before it was a mainstream position. He co-founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which successfully funded legal challenges to California's Proposition 8, a voter-approved ballot measure that banned same-sex marriages in the state. The influential director's films delighted audiences across the political spectrum and are considered modern American classics. He will be missed."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene proposed a bill that would imprison doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors and would make access to such treatments for transgender adults more difficult. Rep. Dan Crenshaw proposed a bill that would ban Medicaid from paying for anything related to transgender care for minors, and that bill has a higher chance of passing. Proposed regulatory rules would block all federal funding to hospitals that provide gender-affirming care to transgender youth, effectively forcing families toward illicit or dangerous alternatives. Rob Reiner co-founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and funded legal challenges to California's Proposition 8.
