FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THROWS IN THE TOWEL ON ITS TRANSGENDER MANDATE

Biden administration declines Supreme Court appeal for transgender surgery mandate By Breccan F. Thies, Investigative Reporter

June 21, 2023 02:40 PM

The Biden administration has declined to seek Supreme Court intervention on its requirement that healthcare organizations perform and cover transgender procedures.
