Atlanta (AP) – In an unsavory coordination on prohibitions for gender -specific care for transgender prisoners who chose Georgia Democrats a third option on Wednesday. They went out.
Songs “Take a walk!” Echo under the golden dome of the State Capitol of dozens of house democrats, who said that they were exhausted by a snowstorm of invoices, the transgender people attack.
The present draft law, Senate Bill 185, would prohibit prison expenses for “gender resignation”, which ban hormone replacement therapy or other operations that “should change the appearance of primary or secondary sexual features”.
The 100: 2 vote, which sent the measure to governor Brian Kemp for his signature or veto, was an opportunity for Republicans to embarrass Democrats in a topic that the GOP believes that they are unpopular for voters.
After Donald Trump, after the democratic candidate Kamala Harris, because of her support for transgender people, including those in prison, while the campaign granted a number of executive regulations to reverse the support of Joe Biden transgender rights, he has issued a number of executive commands.
The strike reflected a broader frustration in other measures. Up to this year, Georgia had carefully moved against transgender people, even as other states guided by Republicans.
In 2022, legislators Georgia passed a law that made it possible for the state high school athletic federation to exclude participation by transgender girls in high school sports.
But the best Republicans, including spokeswoman Jon Burns and Lt. Governor Burt Jones, made priority this year to ban such participation in high school and to ban the participation of trans women in university sports. This measure, Senate bill 1, has received the final passage.
In 2023, the Republicans of Georgia said goodbye to a law that banned the gender that confirmed operations for those younger than 18 years. In contrast to other countries, they allowed juvenile people who already have hormone therapy and allowed puberty to block drugs for people under the age of 18.
This year, the Senate Republicans urged to ban hormone therapies and puberty blockers for those younger than 18 years. The members of the house watered down the Senate 30 law to continue to give access to drugs if two doctors agree. Fate remains unclear because the session is to end on Friday.
Georgia would move with a draft law to compile the health insurance plans of the state employees and the medical health plan towards preloading legislation against the anti-trans-hand laws through the payment of the gender-assisting care. This measure is promoted by Blake Tillery Blake Tilley, the chairman of the Senate appropriation committee, a Republican of Vidalia and a possible candidate for the nationwide office in 2026. It also waits for the final measures.
The Movement Advancement Project, an LGBTQ right group, has up to 14 other countries that ban transgender benefits in health insurance for public employees. It also means that there are up to 10 countries in which Medicaid excludes transgender-related care.
In Georgia, complaints from employees, Medicaid recipients and prisoners prompted the state to enclose legal disputes and to provide each group of transgender care. The opponents say that the measures violate the protection of the US constitution and the legally binding agreements against the state if the state has settled the suits. The Republicans claim to give the rewriting of state law, the state would allow these settlements to be annoyed.
Tanya Miller from Atlanta Democratically Democratic Democratic Caucus Caucus attacked the Republicans from the strike on the law on prison, and found that statements showed that maybe five state inmates were looking for gender care.
“What’s going on with my colleagues that they are obsessed with what happens in the pants of the transgender citizens and their underwear and their bedroom and their medical robes when they talk to their doctors when they deal with their families?” Asked Miller.
The majority leader of the house, Chuck Efstration, a Republican from Mulberry, said that the democratic strike “supported support for the state prisoners funded by the taxpayer”.
“The members flee from the chamber because they are not ready to represent their constituency, to put the vote on the board and to let it known to all Georgians where they stand, is incredibly disappointing,” said Efstration.
The drama came in Georgia when other states of transgender issues were discussed.
In California, a committee blocked the legislative templates on Tuesday, which should restrict the participation of transgender athletes, even after the democratic governor Gavin newsoma assumed that it was unfair that trans -athletes take part in sports that correspond to their gender identity. Nevada saw the high school sports federation restricted the students to sport, which matches their birth family. Colorado is considering a legislative template that would define it as discrimination in order to describe a transgender person according to her gender or name from before her transition.
Carolyn Hugley, leader of the House Minority, a Columbus democrat, dismissed the actions of the Republicans of Georgia as “political theater”.
“People sent us here to do great work,” she said. “They didn’t send us here to harass people to discriminate against people to discriminate against people.”
