19 Dem-ruled states SUE after HHS says they could lose fed money if they perform sex-change surgery

A group of 19 Democrat-led states and D.C. has sued the Trump administration over a warning it issued to doctors that they could be excluded from getting federal tax money if they continued to perform "gender transition treatment"--which the Media and Dems call "gender-affirming surgery"-- on minors.

This is who the Democrats are.  It's what they demand.  They will sue to demand NOT just that we allow them to perform sex-change surgery on minors, but that taxpayers pay for those operations!  And dis iz NOT sexual mutilation, citizen!  Nope nope nope!  Instead it beez jus' "gender-affirming surgery."  Yep yep yep!

Deplorable:  "Doesn't that surgery make them unable to have children?"

Democrat:  "Uhhh...maybe.  But that's not a problem, citizen, since they din' want kids anyway, so actually we're helping 'em with that too.  Besides, American kids contribute SO much more to Climate Change because they use so much more energy!"

Deplorable: "Do you really think that at 13 kids understand what they're getting into when getting these so-called "treatments"?

Democrat:  "Ohh, totally, citizen!  We counsel 'em for at least an hour to ensure dat dey totally unnerstand every aspect of their decision--which dey make totally on dere own, of course!  

Deplorable:  "If cutting healthy body parts off kids is such a great idea, seems like some rich NGO like a Democrat PAC or a foundation would be eager to donate a couple million bucks or so to pay you for this, and then you wouldn't need public money.  Why not do that instead of suing?"

Democrat: "Well, uh...sure, we could do that, but it's just not FAIR!  After all, when Obama and bribem were in office, patients had the right to get gender procedures paid by Medicare and Medicaid.  So why should we have to use private funding now?  As we say in the biz, once something's a 'right.' it's a right forever, eh?"

Deplorable: "So do you think your doctors should be liable when minor who have had these surgeries 'de-transition,' claiming they weren't told about the effects, like having to take hormones for life?"

Democrat: "Of course we categorically deny that any patients who have 'transitioned' have ever sued.  But speaking purely hypothetically, we would claim the proper defendant is the government, since it approved every procedure."

Deplorable: "Of course since 'government' gets its revenue from taxpayers, wouldn't that mean taxpayers would pay any awards?"

Democrat: "Again, we don't admit that anyone has regretted transitioning, let alone has sued.  But speaking hypothetically, we're confident that any informed, enlightened DC jury would agree with us that all patients gave informed consent.  And that the government must pay any award since it approved the procedures when Obama and bribem were in office."
    
Deplorable: "That's really slick: You people make millions performing sex-change surgeries, but if any of your patients sues, you claim you're not liable.  That's really clever!"

Democrat: "That's why we're running things and you're not, even though you have a majority in both chambers, and a GOP prezzy.  It's why we'll get the premium subsidies for Obamacare extended for another three years after we Dems passed a law saying they'd expire at the end of 2025.  We're just that much smarter than you pipo."
