WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Friday proposed a rule that would roll back protections for transgender patients under Obamacare, the second rule this month the agency has put forward to allow health care providers to deny services to them.
The landmark Affordable Care Act passed during the Obama administration, otherwise known as Obamacare, extended civil rights protections in healthcare to gender identity and the termination of a pregnancy. The agency’s Office of Civil Rights said it posted a proposed rule to roll back those provisions of the law.
HHS said it has not enforced the protections since December 2016 after a federal court found they conflicted with a separate existing law. Earlier this month, the Office of Civil Rights released a final “conscience rule” allowing doctors, nurses and other health care workers to opt out of participating in or referring procedures with which they disagree, such as abortions, sterilizations and the treatment of gay and transgender patients.LGBTQ advocacy groups and Democratic-controlled states have decried the Trump administration’s efforts to erode protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer citizens.
Evil.
'Transgender privileges' Fixed it for ya

Reminder that Trump opposed the Carolina bathroom laws and is much more socially progressive than his fans would want to acknowledge.
'HHS said it has not enforced the protections since December 2016 after a federal court found they conflicted with a separate existing law. ' Go panic somewhere else.
The protections were never enforced in the first place. (Seen later in the article.)

Proposed HUD rule would strip transgender protections at homeless sheltersProposed rule would allow homeless shelters to bar transgender people on religious grounds or force transgender women to share bathrooms and sleeping quarters with men. “Did you say band bender?” Of fucking course it would. This administration has clearly signified that it will be nothing short of hostile towards trans people. It disgusts me that anyone finds that acceptable. Cold and heartless people running this country... and ruining it simultaneously
