The Trump administration prepares rule that civil rights groups worry may deny care to transgender patients
A gay pride flag flies alongside the U.S. flag in front of the Asbury United Methodist Church in Prairie Village, Kan.
This month, as part of an 18-page filing in a Texas lawsuit, Trump administration officials at HHS said that they agree the Obama-era rule is illegal and that they are rewriting it. The potential new HHS rule is part of a broader effort by social conservatives in the Trump administration to change the language around LGBTQ people in official documents, regulations and the law to represent more traditional views on relationships and rights. This includes adding references to “marriage between man and woman” and removing terms such as gender rights.
HHS, in a draft rule related to foster and adoptive care published April 19 in the Federal Register, argued that a third of states surveyed recommended such information be removed due to its self-reported nature, which might make it unreliable, and its sensitive nature. “[T]hey questioned the implications of having this information in a government record,” HHS wrote.
“They believe those procedures could be deeply harmful and as a matter of religious beliefs, they don’t want to be involved,” said Goodrich, senior counsel with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.
