Nothing new. If doctors get to decide whom to treat based on their preferences and beliefs people will die.
The reaction on Twitter has surprisingly been mostly positive so far:
Rep. David Cicilline, Co-Chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, responds to Trump:
Does Trump know what the "T" stands for? Because, at the very least, he sure doesn't stand up for them.
Trangender people are already equal? Not as far as the Trump administration is concerned. He is still trying to keep them out of the military and backs discrimination based on religious beliefs
Perhaps he thinks the bill is unnecessary because they are already equal?
No, because it applies to all tragendered, including those who have already transitioned.
Ain't that the truth. And as TMZ notes:whoknew said:
Not on my Twitter feed of United States trends. Perhaps one of our MA posters can confirm that, like the guy from Wilmington.
Really? Would you cite me to an example in case I cannot find one.
Really.
This issue is going up to SCOTUS based on a circuit split. Second, Sixth, and Seventh, I believe, have found protections - Fifth and Eleventh have held there are none.
I hear their flag has cargo pockets...
Or more likely he doesn't really give a ####
Perhaps he thinks the bill is unnecessary because they are already equal?
This isn’t exactly a legal text but maybe the story is legit
It's hard to believe two things in this day and age
More evidence of hostility or at the very least a lack of support to LGBT+ people by the Trump Administration.
Seriously, people, WTF is the problem with flying a pride flag, particularly since it was allowed during the Obama Administration without a problem?

Trump admin tells U.S. embassies they can't fly pride flag on flagpoles
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is rejecting requests from U.S. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag on embassy flagpoles during June, LGBTQ Pride Month, three American diplomats told NBC News.
The U.S. embassies in Israel, Germany, Brazil and Latvia are among those that have requested permission from Trump's State Department to fly the pride flag on their flagpoles and have been denied, diplomats said.
Although the pride flag can and is being flown elsewhere on embassy grounds, including inside embassies and on exterior walls, the decision not to allow it on the official flagpole stands in contrast to President Donald Trump's claim to be a leader in supporting LGBTQ rights overseas. Trump's administration has announced a campaign to decriminalize homosexuality overseas and this month issued a tweet and formal statement to "celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made."
The denials to U.S. embassies have come from the office of the State Department's undersecretary for management, Brian Bulatao, a longtime associate of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who also worked for him at the CIA. Under State Department policy, embassies that want to fly the flag on their flagpoles are expected to obtain permission from Washington.
During the Obama administration, the government granted blanket permission to embassies overseas to fly the pride flag during June. This year, U.S. diplomats said, embassies were told they can display the pride flag in other places, including inside embassies, but that requests to fly it on the flagpole must be specifically approved. No approvals have been granted..
Great choice.
The grand marshal is Milo Yiannopoulos, the gay poster boy for the right.
I would assume that "issues related to bodies" includes something along the lines of "I'm heterosexual which means that I'm attracted to biological females, not biological males," but I can only guess that since the author doesn't acknowledge the existence of biological sex.
For me, my tolerance, my acceptance on this matter is one of intellect. Emotionally, well I have issues, I suppose. I am not very evolved. Still, I try to not victimize others with my lack of evolution and I believe I am more or less successful. Also, my predilections and hang-ups, if kept to myself, have little effect on that demographic because they find me no more appealing as a romantic partner than do women of a more routine history. I am not really shrinking the pool of potentials as I am not seen as a potential. I wish for every person a happy and fulfilling life which, for most, includes a romantic life. I do not feel responsible personally for making the wish come true for all.
I guess that's a possibility, but it certainly flies in the face of the annual search term popularity publications by pornhub. It definitely seems from those as though there are a lot of men who identity as heterosexual who are attracted to transgender women.
You don't think there's a difference between attraction and curiosity?Henry Ford said:

Cracker Barrel bars Tennessee pastor who called for LGBTQ executions in sermons
A Cracker Barrel restaurant refused to host a Tennessee church whose pastor, a former sheriff's department detective, said the government should execute gay people.
Grayson Fritts and his independent All Scripture Baptist Church in Knoxville had planned a meeting at the Cracker Barrel in Cleveland, Tennessee, on June 29.
The restaurant chain, however, announced they "will not be permitted onsite."
It said Tuesday in a statement on Twitter that it is not affiliated with the church or Fritts and that it "disagrees with their statements of hate and divisiveness."
"We serve everyone who walks through our doors with genuine hospitality, not hate, and require all guests to do the same," Tennessee-based Cracker Barrel said in the statement.
Fritts said during a June 9 sermon that gay people are "freaks" and "reprobates" who are “worthy of death” and should be tried and executed by the government. The sermon was posted on YouTube but has since been removed.
Numbers listed for Fritts and his church appear to have been disconnected.
There were no details. I don't click on links without explanation. If they can't bother to post the cliff notes, I scroll past it.
