The Georgia Senate passed Senate Bill 39, prohibiting state health plans from covering gender-identity health care for state employees, Medicaid recipients and prisoners.
Funny how this started out as “protect the children, who are too young to make permanent decisions,” which is not prima facie absurd, and then, once they pushed that through, became “no taxpayer money for trans surgeries,” which is much less defensible, but still may seem reasonable to many voters. I wonder where they are going with this.

Maybe some slopes are indeed slippery.
Any ‘think about the children’ argument is just a smokescreen.
