🚔   Growing Concerns Over Gender-Affirming Care and Policy Enforcement

Politics

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued a “clarification” about the “non-enforceability” of language in a Biden era final rule which implies that gender dysphoria may be a disability under U.S. civil rights law. The clarification of Biden’s “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance” notes that because the language in question was not in the regulatory text of the rule itself, “it does not have the force or effect of law.” Nevertheless, because of the confusion caused by the language, HHS set out to clarify “and emphasize that such language is not, and never was, enforceable.”
