Mirroring the anti-gay movement of the 1970s, Kentucky Republicans are quietly moving to ban trans people from teaching while forcing doctors to consider being trans a mental disorder.

Nothing says "Liberty and justice for all" like singling out minorities for specific restrictive legislation.

What a hypocritical fascist shithole.

Doesn't insurance already require that? At least my papers have the little "F64" as part of the billing code since they're using the ICD codes instead or the DSM...

Bourbon and horse breeding are the only things that come to mind.

ICD-10 Diagnosis codes are a standard and required part of medical claim billing.
F64.0 is “transgenderism in adults”; and it shouldn’t imply a “disorder” unless your insurer hasn’t updated the description since like 2016

Bourbon is about the only good thing coming outta here - unless you're a connoisseur of meth.

California should make Kentucky Fried Chicken post that "this product has been found to contain a trace element of fascism" on every box they sell in the state.

@Teknevra I love how there are bigger fish to fry in Kentucky yet this is apparently a pressing issue.
