I believe all of you just need a break from articles from the Good News Network.

Quote:

The new rules "will eliminate mass confusion that was unleashed by the Obama-era decision to redefine sex to cover a wide array of gender identities," said Severino, who created a division within his office focused on religious freedom protections. He said the previous rules could have forced health care providers to violate their religious or moral beliefs.

If you're a health care provider why would your "religious or moral beliefs" trump taking care of your patients? If your moral beliefs don't include properly taking care of someone just because you don't like the fact they're trans or gay you need to reconsider your values.

Quote:

The new Trump rules also roll back Obama-era requirements that the vast majority of health care providers post information in 15 languages and make translation services readily available. The reversal has alarmed advocates for communities of color, given how the coronavirus is disproportionately affecting minority populations, including some who may not be fluent in English.

But Severino argued that those postings had created burdens for health care providers and were often unnecessary. He said the rule would save the health care industry about $3 billion over five years, mostly from striking multilingual notices.

Ah, yes. The burden of being able to better communicate with your patients.

Many people voted for Trump because he was “a great man of Gawd(TM)”, yet he shows most signs of being the Antichrist.

If LGBT are given more rights or freedoms, the MAGA people cry “Christians are being persecuted, waaaahhh! Waaaaahhh!”

My sister is gay and I worry that if she gets sick, they could refuse to treat her. The good thing is that my sister has been doing a good job protecting herself from the coronavirus, so the possibility of her dying at the hands of MAGA doctors is slim.

But still, how f****d is that? The chances should be Zero because doctors swear an oath to do no harm. If they can’t honour that they should pick a different career.

This is likely muted by a health care provider/hospital LGBT policy.

Good. It’s well documented fact that intentionally using wrong pronouns for trans people is detrimental to their mental health and no doctor should be bigoted and refuse to respect any patient like that.
