[DRAFT] Repeal: Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2019 12:40 pm
OOC: I know that the forum and GA has been flooded as of late with repeals of this resolution for a variety of justifications, but fear not weary user! This repeal is neither aimed at disallowing transgender people from access to hormone therapy nor at debating their existence/validity.
Rather, it's out of concern for the actual bill itself - the vague text, difficult to understand arguments, and limited "new material" (much of it, if not all of it, is covered in the Convention on Gender). Given that this is my first time trying my hand at WA legislation (I've played NS for about four years now, on and off, through different countries without ever bothering to actually try and create resolutions or really involve myself in the greater community), I would really appreciate some help in making sure that this proposal is both legal, valuable, and well written.
Without further ado, this is the legislation as it stands:
The World Assembly, by the advice and consent of the delegates and member nations thereof, and by the authority of the same,
APPLAUDS any and all efforts to further human and civil rights protections, and measures against discrimination,
COMMENDS the efforts taken by the “Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy” resolution, hereafter referred to as GAR#467,
APPRECIATES the good intentions of the composers of GAR#467, and
RECOGNIZES the significant overlap between the aforementioned resolution and the “Convention on Gender Therapy” (hereafter referred to as GAR#97) which allows both for the continued protection of transgender and gender non-binary people in the interim and makes much of GAR#467 unnecessary.
The World Assembly,
PERPLEXED by undefined, contradictory, or otherwise ambiguous language in the offending resolution (GAR#467), particularly with regard to what constitutes “affordable” transgender healthcare and how such would be implemented without any standards or details set by the legislation,
TROUBLED by the precedent set by GAR#467, in which the World Assembly does not just protect and advocate for human and civil rights, but mandates member states to provide for healthcare that they may not be able to afford, or for which there are too few recipients, and
CONCERNED by the duplicated nature of much of the legislation, with limited difference and/or additional regulation from the previous GAR#97,
HEREBY REPEALS Resolution #467, “Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy.”
Any help and discussion would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
