Sandra Fluke Argued for Mandatory Coverage for Sex-Change Surgery
By Robert Stacy McCain
Rather belatedly, we are becoming aware that this supposedly typical Georgetown coed is not very typical at all:
[B]irth control is not all that Ms. Fluke believes private health insurance must cover. She also, apparently, believes that it is discrimination deserving of legal action if “gender reassignment” surgeries are not covered by employer provided health insurance. She makes these views clear in an article she co-edited with Karen Hu in the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law."The title of the article . . . is “Employment Discrimination Against LGBTQ Persons” and was published in the Journal’s 2011 Annual Review.
Remember, as Byron York previously reported,
Fluke was rejected as a last-minute substitute witness at a Feb. 16
committee hearing because staffers for Chairman Issa were unable to
discover Fluke’s claim to expertise relevant to the subject of the
hearing. This law school journal article is the sort of thing that might
have been discovered about Fluke’s background, had the Democrats who
put Fluke forward as a witness done so with the usual 72-hour advance
notice. Here’s one brief quote from the article:
"Transgender persons wishing to undergo the gender reassignment process frequently face heterosexist employer health insurance policies that label the surgery as cosmetic or medically unnecessary and therefore uncovered."
Now,
imagine Fluke trying to defend this language about “heterosexist”
policies in a public hearing, with Republican members of the committee
questioning her about whether religious institutions (or private
businesses, or taxpayers) should also be required to foot the bill for
“gender reassignment.”
Congratulations, America: You’ve been scammed!
UPDATE: Dan Collins at The Conservatory points out that the Obama administration is already providing illegal immigrants with “hormone treatments for transgendered people.”
Of
course, this only makes sense. We wouldn’t want these foreign
transpeople to go back to wherever they (illegally) came from and say
that they’d been the victims of American “heterosexism,” would we? Then
President Obama would have to issue an another apology to the foreigners
we had victimized.

What's next? Small-Boob-Complex so breast augmentation becomes a medical necessity? Balding-Derangement-Syndrome so insurance companies can be forced to provide hairplugs "free of charge" - The National Plugs Biden Act?
