A group of 19 Democrat-led states and Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration over a declaration that aims to restrict gender transition treatment for minors. The lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; its Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.; and its inspector general comes after the declaration issued last week described treatments such as puberty blockers, hormone treatments and gender surgeries as unsafe and ineffective for children experiencing gender dysphoria. The declaration also warned doctors they could be excluded from federal health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, if they provide these treatments to minors.

How about this, for every dollar the state spends on this, the Federal Government reduces their money from HHS by a dollar. If the states want it, let them pay for it...

Liberals decry vivisection on animals. But on boys and girls, it's AOK. And ditto FGM on girls in 3rd world cultures; but in the USA, it's affirmative healthcare. Ditto MaleGM.

Of course, the Peoples Republic of Colorado is in on this sham. No surprise that Gov. Polis and his husband fully support the lawsuit. Easy for them since they aren't able to have biological kids of their own and will never confront trannyism up close and personal.

Not huge, but curious-- what would be the style guide reason for expressing 19 as "nearly 20" in the headline?
It's certainly not to save space, nor for clarity. Is it to sound bigger, Fox?

Sick freaks willing to sterilize children before they reach the age of consent for a reason that is impossible to perform.
Boys and girls cannot change their sex , and there are only 2 sexes.
What is wrong with these sick freaks.?

RE: "puberty blockers, hormone treatments and gender surgeries as unsafe and ineffective for children experiencing gender dysphoria. The declaration also warned doctors they could be excluded from federal health programs." HHS says these treatments will be "deemed not to meet professionally recognized standards of health care."
Anyone who wants these treatments can still get them, since the Declaration does not prohibit it, recommend or suggest a fine or penalty. And, it offers viable alternatives. But the government won't pay for them. The medical, psychological and international evidence of harm that they submit to justify the Declaration, is pretty significant.
The entire document is worth reading in order to know the truth:

What is it about the leftist? Why are they driven to mutilate children? If they don't get them killed in the womb now they want to mutilate them when they're Young?

#14 - If they can't kill a child in the womb, then they'll make darn sure they can't reproduce. The "murder" is just delayed a generation. The "D" in Democrat stands for Death.

Unfortunately for these unethical doctors and state governments, gender transition was not mentioned in the Constitution. If it was, it was by bayonet or cutlass.

You really have to wonder if there is one democrat out there with a brain. Basically their whole agenda is based on sick policies that have nothing to do with the economy, the border, jobs, energy production, trade, inflation or education. Think about it, how does any sane person vote for these sick perverted morons. Pathetic.

This is a very strange hill to die on, even for liberals. Very few outside the trans movement and extreme leftists support this. What are they hoping to gain? They wouldn’t be pushing it without an ulterior motive. It’s who they are.

Adolescence is a confusing time in the development of children and children are still prone to believing authority figures without question. Curiosity about what it is like to be the opposite gender is normal. However, it does not mean they should try to change their gender and be encouraged to do so. It is more likely a phase they are going through. When drugs and procedure are performed on the child are kept secret from the parents, it is criminal. More than a few children, when they become more mature discover that they have made a terrible mistake that cannot be corrected. It really messes up their minds.

Seems like the gang of 20+ Democrat AGs spend more time suing the Trump administration over one thing or another than dealing with actual criminal and other legal issues facing their states. They are obsessed with being the Trump opposition at the expense of making life safer and better for everyone.

It's Democrat state AG's that are implementing the full craziness of the Democrat agenda in their lawsuits and they get away with it because the regime media ignores them. The RNC should keep track of these lawsuits on 80-20 issues, force them into public view, and use them to pound the Democrat Party every day.
