The Dallas Morning News is not happy with County Commissioners transgender resolution
Dallas County Commissioners Court voting on a resolution supporting the transgender community in Dallas County on Sept. 17. Last week, the Dallas County Commissioners Court passed a resolution supporting the county’s transgender community and declaring Dallas County a safe haven for them.
The resolution was introduced by Commissioner Theresa Daniel. The Dallas Morning News is not amused. The daily paper isn’t objecting to the part about how the transgender community should be free from discrimination.
It’s when she gets into ways the community is being discriminating that they object. They don’t like where the resolution says “gender affirming healthcare has been proven to be evidence-based, medically necessary, and lifesaving,” even though all research proves this to be true and that statement in some form is the policy of every medical, psychological and social work organization except for those with religious rather than scientific goals.
Noting that county government is responsible for healthcare, they write, “The fact that its highest governing body is leaping ahead of scientific consensus is troubling.” Except there is scientific consensus.
