The Health and Human Services Department released a proposed regulation that in effect says"gender identity" is not protected under federal laws that prohibit discrimination in health care.
Friday's action had been long-expected by activists on both sides of the nation's social issues divide. Trump's religious conservative base has argued that the Obama administration stretched the meaning of"sex discrimination" when it included gender identity as a protected class. Civil rights and LGBT groups say that view is logically and legally flawed.
Melling said the impact of the proposed rule goes beyond transgender people and could also subject women to discrimination for seeking an abortion. The proposal would remove"termination of pregnancy" as grounds for making a legal claim of discrimination. Severino also said that the proposed rule does not come with a new definition of sex discrimination. Earlier, a leaked internal document suggested the administration was debating whether to issue an immutable definition of sex, as based on a person's genital organs at birth.
What about Sex discrimination protection for Straight people. Our rights, our children’s rights!

Trump wants to slash payments to California for fighting wildfires on federal landThe federal government is balking on reimbursing California for the expense of firefighting last year, saying local officials have failed to itemize costs. Cruelty and no compassion. It is not the words, it is the attitude. Not that the Trump admin handles much of this correctly . . but the question on the table is, 'why hasn't auditing of this always been required?' In November, as crews battled the Camp and Woolsey fires, Trump blamed the state for “gross mismanagement of the forests.'
