Equal healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community
Equal healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community
Why this petition matters
Hello. My name is Madison. I have recently discovered that the Trump administration has gotten rid of healthcare protections for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This mainly targets transgender individuals. According to NPR, a transgender person could be denied a well visit to a doctor or a transgender male could hypothetically be denied treatment for ovarian cancer. Roger Severino directs the Office of Civil Rights within the Department for Health and Human Services (HHS). The reversal of LGBTQ protections originated in the HHS.
Help me stop the reversal of these protections. All it takes is one transphobic/homophobic doctor to end someone’s life. The reversals go into effect in mid-August. If this reversal is allowed to continue, the Trump administration will have blood on their hands. We most put an end to this blatant discrimination.
