Yeah, Right

We’re not discriminating, we just don’t cover trans people… but that’s not discrimination because the law says we don’t have to cover trans people.

State denies plan discriminates against transgender members

The health insurance plan that covers state employees does not discriminate against transgender people even though it excludes drugs and services for gender transformation, the state of South Dakota argues in a court filing.

The exclusion in the state health plan for gender transformation services applies even if those services are deemed medically necessary, the state says.

Those arguments are included in the state’s answer to a lawsuit filed by a state employee who says the health plan discriminates against transgender people by excluding those services. Terri Bruce, a transgender man, filed suit in federal court, arguing that the state’s exclusions violate the U.S. Constitution and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Well thanks to Trump and Sessions rescinding the guidelines from president Obama’s administration and Session’s wrapped interpretation of Title VII and thanks to the fact South Dakota doesn’t have a gender inclusive non-discrimination law we are screwed.
