KAISER HEALTH CARE MAKES A HARD RIGHT TURN ... THOUGH PROBABLY NOT VOLUNTARILY

By Bob Walsh

Kaiser Health Care announced yesterday that, effective August 1, they will no longer provide surgical support services for gender affirmation, also known as genital mutilation, for any person under the age of 19 under any circumstances.  

At least in CA where Kaiser has a large presence this announcement has resulted in the LGBTQWXYZ community screaming like mashed cats.  Many more radical members of the state legislature are adding their voices to the cacophony.

I strongly suspect that, for the short and medium term, the noise will have zero effect on a change in policy.
