'The lawsuit described how [Andrew] Anglin used the Daily Stormer – the leading extremist website in the country – to publish 30 articles urging his followers to launch a “troll storm” against Gersh. [...]
In May 2018, Lynch ordered that the SPLC’s lawsuit against Anglin be allowed to go forward, rejecting Anglin’s claim that his orchestration of a terror campaign against a Jewish woman was protected by the First Amendment. [...]
In addition to those damages, Lynch found in his ruling that Anglin acted with actual malice and, “Having considered the factors set forth in Mont. Code Ann. § 27-1- 221(7)(b), including the particularly egregious and reprehensible nature of Anglin’s conduct, the Court finds that a punitive damages award in the amount of $10,000,000 is warranted to punish Anglin and deter him from engaging in such conduct in the future.”'
stop wasting this forum's time with your silly transphobic bullshit, and mind your own fucking business.

Nobody here is trans phobic, but when you are wasting OUR tax dollars on your childish crusade, you thereby become a pain in OUR ass, and suck up tax dollars that could be re-appropriated to help the homeless, or something more important than chopping CHARLOTTE's boobs off. You ain't that important.....sorry you self-absorbed doucheknuckle.
you are definitely on a childish crusade to deny transgender people access to health care for no reason.
kill yourself, transphobe

"Health care"?....needless surguries are now described as 'Healthcare"? Stop wasting our money because you're not happy with what you were born as. It's not our fault so why should we pay for it? It's like saying, "I'm a drug addict, now you pay for my drugs, taxpayers." Fucking stupid dontcha think?
you are fucking stupid, yes. the DSM clearly states that gender affirmation surgery is medically necessary for people with gender dysphoria.
too bad for you that you hate science.

LOL You're "into metal," seriously? Lemme guess, King Kobra and Life Of Agony.
Can you use your "being into metal" skills to get a job? Serious question.
'Gender dysphoria is not the same as gender nonconformity, which refers to behaviors not matching the gender norms or stereotypes of the gender assigned at birth. Examples of gender nonconformity (also referred to as gender expansiveness or gender creativity) include girls behaving and dressing in ways more socially expected of boys or occasional cross-dressing in adult men. Gender nonconformity is not a mental disorder. Gender dysphoria is also not the same being gay/lesbian. [...]
Treatment options for gender dysphoria include counseling, cross-sex hormones, puberty suppression and gender reassignment surgery. Some adults may have a strong desire to be of a different gender and to be treated as a different gender without seeking medical treatment or altering their body. They may only want support to feel comfortable in their gender identity. Others may want more extensive treatment including hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery leading to a transition to the opposite sex. Some may choose hormone treatment or surgery alone.'

Again, how is it "medically necessary"? That says nothing of the sort.
post by nobody cares at Dec 19,2019 5:46pm
Notice the term, "treatment options" in there? Meaning that it is an option. Not "medically necessary". Therefore there is no reason that taxpayers should be footing the bill. Sorry Charlie (pun intended).
'The court’s unanimous decision struck down the administrative code governing Medicaid in Iowa that classifies transition-related surgeries as "cosmetic, reconstructive or plastic surgery" and explicitly bans "surgeries for the purpose of sex reassignment." Transgender surgeries can range from $20,000 to $100,000, putting it out of reach of individuals who qualify for the assistance. In affirming a district judge's decision, Justice Susan Christensen wrote that the “express ban on Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming surgical procedures” contradicted the gender-identity protections in the Iowa Civil Rights Act.'

That's Iowa. What is legal in another state can not be extrapolated to all states.
Also, just because something is legal, somewhere, now, doesn't mean it will remain that way. Case in point, gay marriage was banned in California. Then it was legalized. Then it was rescinded. Now it's legal again, and has remained so, but one never knows.
Just the #Facts, ma'am.

There is still nowhere that it is deemed, "medically necessary". And who gives a shit about Iowa? You grasp at straws. It's not medically necessary at all, anywhere on the planet. Sorry to burst your boobs (pun intended).
it is medically necessary, which is why the Supreme Court ruled that it must be covered by Medicare. you are the one grasping at straws here, because you have no argument.
'Medicare covers medically necessary transition-related surgery.
For many years, Medicare did not cover transition-related surgery due to a decades-old policy that categorized such treatment as "experimental." That exclusion was eliminated in 2014, and there is now no national exclusion for transition-related health care under Medicare.'

Yeah, the IOWA Supreme Court you fucking dolt. Your arguments are weak as fuck.
post by #Facts at Dec 20,2019 1:48pm
Perhaps you can clarify the point then. HOW is it "medically necessary?" That is, what medical problem occurs if the surgery isn't obtained?
Keep it factual, not feelings-based, thank you.

"Gender dysphoria is associated with high levels of stigmatization, discrimination and victimization, contributing to negative self-image and increased rates of other mental disorders. Transgender individuals are at higher risk of victimization and hate crimes than the general public. Adolescents and adults with gender dysphoria are at increased risk for suicide.
In adolescents and adults, preoccupation with cross-gender issues can interfere with daily activities and cause problems in relationships or in functioning at school or work. Children with gender dysphoria may experience teasing and harassment at school or pressure to dress more like their assigned gender. Children with gender dysphoria are at higher risk of emotional and behavioral problems, including anxiety and depression.
Transgender individuals may also face challenges in accessing appropriate health care and insurance coverage of related services."

'In 2015 the Medicare Appeals Council issued a decision ordering a Medicare plan to pay for transition-related surgery for a transgender woman because it was reasonable and necessary to treat gender dysphoria.'
this issue has already been litigated numerous times, and transphobes like you lose every single time. get used to it.
