HRC Article:

WASHINGTON — Last night, President Biden signed the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which includes a provision inserted by Speaker Mike Johnson blocking healthcare for the transgender children of military servicemembers. This provision, the first anti-LGBTQ+ federal law enacted since the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, will rip medically necessary care from the transgender children of thousands of military families – families who make incredible sacrifices in defense of the country each and every day. The last anti-LGBTQ+ federal law that explicitly targeted military servicemembers was Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which went into effect in 1994.

Biden’s press release:

No service member should have to decide between their family’s health care access and their call to serve our Nation.

    Just chiming in to say that if your only counterargument is “lol no,” consider your own stance could be due for reevaluation.

    I don’t really strongly agree with either of you, but you’ve thrown in the towel with this bit.

        What do you think I missed and what is it about whether I did or did not miss a salient point that excuses your dismissive attitude during a debate?
