Repeal "Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.Category: RepealTarget: GA#467Proposed by: Tinhampton
General Assembly Resolution #467 “Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Affirming that this repeal will neither have a negative impact on any person's rights nor weaken this body's strong support for the trans community,
Celebrating GA#467 "Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy," for requiring that member states:
- allow their inhabitants to obtain hormone therapy with their consent, and never force it on them without their consent,
- provide their inhabitants "an affordable, easy-to-access way" to obtain hormone therapy, and
- not deny "a transgender person access to hormone therapy as a punishment,"
Noting that GA#571 "Access to Transgender Hormone Therapy" not only accomplishes all of the admirable goals of GA#467, but also provides many more important protections for trans people who receive hormone therapy, such as:
- guaranteeing that they pay no more than the relevant "manufacturing and distribution" fees for hormone therapy and face "as few barriers as possible" to obtaining it,
- preventing "any entity from denying hormone therapy" to them "except where a legitimate danger to their health would arise as a result," and
- protecting them from being coerced not to obtain, as well as to obtain, hormone therapy, and
Believing that repealing GA#467 is sensible, given that it does nothing that GA#571 does not already do...
The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#467 "Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy."
