Biden administration restores protections for gay and transgender Americans seeking health care
The Biden administration announced a new rule Friday expanding safeguards against potential discrimination of gay and transgender Americans seeking medical care, in a reversal of Trump-era limitations that nixed federal health protections for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Howabout the guy who keeps telling me to "shut the fuck up"? Or is that civil because it's towards someone who dares criticize Joe Biden?
We don't police every comment, just the ones that get reported.
But on the surface, someone telling you to shut up isn't the same thing as someone throwing insults.
Edit Found it, it wasn't just you. Removed and temp banned them.
So if i looked at you and said that, it'd be fine?
As a one off? Probably would be fine, in this case, the guy was on a tear and needed a time out.
Directing an insult straight at someone? That's out of line and gets removed ("Shut up you fucking donkey!"). Indirectly, also out of line, ("What are you, a fucking donkey?").
A simple STFU? Not as big a deal, but like I say, in THIS guys case? Repeated, at multiple people, with no other value to the comment? Yeah, no.
Thats much appreciated. Thanks for that, even if it wasnt directly for me. With that said, got any Biden criticisms you'd like to share then? Don't you think the timing here is sus?
I find Biden incredibly problematic for a variety of reasons. His withdrawl from Afghanistan was incompetently handled and when he got called out on it, his reaction was "Hey, we had to get out!" when that wasn't the question. Yes, we HAD to get out, the METHODOLOGY was the problem.
He has the same problem discussing the economy. People tell him they're struggling and his reaction is "Hey, the economy has never been stronger!"
All that said, he's a better choice than Trump, and Kennedy, Stein and West are all non-starters.
Yeah, I think he fumbled the withdrawal pretty hard, I think what, like 100 afghans and 13 Americans were killed because of it? And he basically abandoned a lot of our people to a grim fate. It wasn't just "We had to get out!" either. He also blamed the Trump administration for executing an agreement that "boxed in" America and "constricted" what they could do about it. I'm not sure I buy it, though. From what I've read about that situation it sounds more like a "fuck you trump!" act than a patriotic one. I believe there was enough openness in the agreement that it said if the Taliban failed to meet their end of things, the agreement could be null and void, but Biden ignored that part, and just ran with it. I hate Trump, and I do agree with you on that. He is still a significantly better choice, but unfortunately, given the fact that we are a two party system and always have been, even if I think it's bullshit, even if that's technically not true, we are very much at a point where we all need to vote for Biden or suffer the consequences. Regarding our economy, I don't have much more to add there. You're right. Our country is a mess, and his bullshit isn't helping anyone. And in my opinion, while I do understand it began awhile ago, I still find his timing with this LGBTQ stuff really convenient. I think one of his biggest issues, too, is that he isn't great at laying out specifics for things like being confronted about the economy or the things like the withdrawal. A simple deflection without accountability, and he and his administration moves on, not a great look.
