Well, I guess if you're a public employee in Georgia and you sue the state because they won't pay for your cross-sex hormones, they'll go ahead and... pay for your cross-sex hormones. Not only that, but they'll open themselves up to paying for every state employee or retiree in "need" of this "gender-affirming care" to receive it.
No kidding, two public employees and one other anonymous transgender person sued the state of Georgia for discriminating against them by not providing sex-change hackery in their State Health Benefit Plan.
That was back in 2022, and now we have this:
Talk about caving to the woke mob!
The state of Georgia will start paying for gender-affirming health care for state employees, public school teachers and former employees covered by a state health insurance plan, settling another in a string of lawsuits against Georgia agencies aiming to force them to pay for gender-confirmation surgery and other procedures.
The plaintiffs moved to dismiss their case Thursday in Atlanta federal court, announcing they had reached a settlement with the State Health Benefit Plan…
The state will also pay a total of $365,000 to the plaintiffs and their lawyers as part of the settlement. Micha Rich, Benjamin Johnson and an anonymous state employee suing on behalf of her adult child all said they spent money out of their own pockets that should have been covered by insurance.
This is insane. These people are treating this gender care like it's a heart transplant or something actually beneficial to your health. It's not. It's like saying the state should pay for my HGH because I wanna be ripped.
Crazy that there are actual people out there who think this way.
But now, Georgia is just going to pay for this from their state healthcare plan - a complete waste of money, by the way (though the big healthcare corporations will love it).
This isn't the first time Georgia has caved to the purple-haired mob:
It's the fourth in a line of lawsuits against Georgia agencies to force them to pay for gender-confirmation surgery and other procedures. State and local governments lost or settled the previous suits.
The University System of Georgia paid $100,000 in damages in addition to changing its rules in 2019 when it settled a case brought by a University of Georgia catering manager. And the Department of Community Health last year agreed to change the rules of the state's Medicaid program to settle a lawsuit by two Medicaid beneficiaries.
A jury last year ordered Houston County to pay $60,000 in damages to a sheriff's deputy after a federal judge ruled her bosses illegally denied the deputy health coverage for gender-confirmation surgery. Houston County is appealing that judgment, and oral arguments are scheduled in November before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
I honestly cannot believe that we're at the point in this country where even red states are paying for people to ruin their bodies in this way. This is not a road we want to go down, people — though I'm afraid we've already come too far.
We are living in a strange sci-fi movie, and it seems to get worse every day.
