Man Who Is Now A Woman Sues For Access To Free Mammogram
WE ARE ALL BUNNY SLIPPERS
President to call it a violation of civil rights in 3 ….2…….1……
Via USA Today:
The legal definition of “female” is at the center of a new lawsuit. Jennifer Blair, a transsexual woman, is suing for the right to get free breast cancer screenings.
Blair had surgery to change her gender more than a decade ago. Women’s Wellness Connection, a state-run healthcare program, recently turned her away because she is “not genetically female.”
9Wants to Know began looking into this after getting a newstip, and found this lawsuit could have national implications. It’s a complicated legal issue, but it all boils down to a simple question: If someone is born a man, but has surgery to become a woman, are they entitled to same free healthcare as other women?
