• Uphengululo lwe

Ukuya kugqirha kunokuba ngamava abuthathaka kakhulu kunye noxinzelelo kuye nakubani na. Ngoku, khawufane ucinge ukuba uye kudinga ugqirha kuphela ukuba akwalale inkathalo efanelekileyo okanye enze amagqabantshintshi akushiya uziva ungamkelekanga okanye ngathi awunakubathemba ngempilo yakho.

Leyo yinyani ye-transgender eninzi kunye ne-LGBTQ + abantu (kunye nabantu bebala, ngaloo nto) -ngokukodwa ngexesha lolawulo lokugqibela luka-Mongameli. Ngombulelo, umgaqo-nkqubo omtsha ovela kwiSebe lezeMpilo laseMelika kunye neeNkonzo zoLuntu uthathe inyathelo eliphambili lokutshintsha loo nto.

NgoMvulo, abaphathi beBiden babhengeze ukuba i-transgender kunye nabanye abantu be-LGBTQ + ngoku bakhuselwe kucalucalulo lwezempilo, ngokukhawuleza. Olu ncedo luza unyaka emva kokuba umthetho wexesha likaTrump uchaze "isini" njengesini sebhayiloji kunye nesini esabelwe ekuzalweni, oko kuthetha ukuba izibhedlele, oogqirha, kunye neenkampani zeinshurensi zinokwala ukhathalelo olwaneleyo kubantu abadlulayo. (Kuba isikhumbuzi: Abantu abaguqulayo bahlala bechonga isini ngaphandle kwesini sabo sokuqala xa bezalwa.)

Kumgaqo-nkqubo omtsha, i-HHS icacisa ukuba i-Affordable Care Act iCandelo le-1557 livala ukunganyamezeli okanye ucalucalulo olusekelwe "kubuhlanga, umbala, imvelaphi yesizwe, isondo (kubandakanywa ukuxhatshazwa ngokwesini kunye nobunikazi besini), ubudala, okanye ukukhubazeka kwiinkqubo zempilo ezifihliweyo okanye imisebenzi. " Oku kwaqala ukwenziwa ngo-2016 ngulawulo luka-Obama, kodwa utshintsho phantsi kukaTrump ngo-2020 luthintele kakhulu umda wokhuselo ngokuchaza "isini" njengokulinganiselwa kwisini sebhayiloji kunye nesini esabelwe ukuzalwa.

Olu tshintsho lutsha luvela kwi-HHS luxhaswa sisigqibo seNkundla ePhakamileyo ye-6-3, IBostock kunye neClayton CountyYenziwe ngoJuni 2020, eyagweba ukuba abantu be-LGBTQ + bakhuselwe ngokugqibeleleyo ngokuchasene nomsebenzi ngenxa yesazisi sabo kunye nokuzibandakanya ngokwesini. I-HHS ithi esi sigqibo sisebenza nakwinkathalo yezempilo, ekhokelele ekuchazeni ngokutsha iCandelo le-1557.

"INkundla ePhakamileyo iye yacacisa ukuba abantu banelungelo lokungacalucalulo ngokwesini kwaye bafumane impatho elinganayo phantsi komthetho, kungakhathaliseki ukuba bangobani ngokwesini okanye ukuxhatshazwa ngokwesini," kusho unobhala we-HHS uXavier Becerra kwingxelo evela kwi-HHS. HHS. "Ukoyika ucalucalulo kunokukhokelela abantu ukuba bayeke ukukhathalelwa, nto leyo enokuba neziphumo ezibi kakhulu zempilo."

Umzekelo, kuvavanyo luka-2014 olwenziwe yiLambda Legal (umbutho we-LGBTQ + wezomthetho kunye nowokuxhasa), iipesenti ezingama-70 zabaphenduli nabangaphenduliyo ngokwesini baxela imeko zabanikezeli abala inkathalelo, besebenzisa ulwimi olungqwabalala, okanye betyhola inkanuko yesini okanye isazisi sabo Unobangela wokugula, kwaye iipesenti ezingama-56 zabaphenduli besini, abathandana besini esinye nabasetyhini bachaze okufanayo. (Eyeleleneyo: Ndimnyama, ndiQueer, kunye nePolyamorous-Kutheni le nto ibalulekile kooGqirha bam?)

Imigaqo-nkqubo kunye nemithetho ethintela ukhathalelo lokuqinisekisa isini kunokuba yingozi kwimpilo nakukhuseleko lwabantu abadlulayo, utshilo u-Anne Marie O'Melia, MD, igosa lezonyango lase Pathlight Mood kunye neXhala leZiko lase Towson. , EMaryland. Ubume besayensi, njengoko kungqinwa luluvo lweengcali kunye nophando oluvelayo, ithi kufanelekile ukwandisa utyando lokuqinisekisa isini, hayi ukubasikela umda. Ayingabo bonke abantu abatshintshe isini abafuna okanye abafuna utyando, kodwa siyazi ukuba utyando oluqinisekisa isini lunxulunyaniswa nokunciphisa ukubandezeleka kwabo bakufunayo kwaye bayakwazi ukukukhetha. Ngokukodwa, uphononongo lwakutshanje JAMA Utyando ufumanise ukuba utyando oluqinisekisa isini lunxulunyaniswa nokuncipha okukhulu koxinzelelo lwengqondo kunye nokucinga okuncinci kokuzibulala."

Emva kwesibhengezo, uMongameli Biden wathumela umyalezo ngetwitter: "Akukho mntu unokuthi angavunyelwa ukuba afumane ukhathalelo lwempilo ngenxa yesini sakhe. uyazi: uMongameli unomqolo wakho."

Ukuxhasa abantu be-LGBTQ + yenye yezithembiso zolawulo lwe-Biden, kwaye icacisiwe kumThetho woLingano, umthetho oyilwayo ojolise ekunikezeleni ngokungaguquguqukiyo nangokucacileyo ukukhusela ucalucalulo kubantu be-LGBTQ + kwiindawo eziphambili kubandakanya ingqesho, izindlu, ityala, imfundo, iindawo zoluntu kunye iinkonzo, iinkqubo ezixhaswa ngemali, kunye nenkonzo yejaji, ngokwePhulo lamaLungelo oLuntu. Ukuba upasisiwe, umThetho woLingano unokulungisa umthetho weLungelo lamaLungelo oLuntu ka-1964 ukubandakanya ukuthintela ucalucalulo olusekwe ekuqhelaneni nesini kunye nokuzazisa ngokwesini.

Ngeli xesha, amanye amazwe asandula ukuyila okanye apasise eyabo imithetho echaphazela ulutsha oludlulayo. Ngo-Matshi 2021, i-Mississippi yapasisa i-Mississippi Fairness Act, umthetho othi iimbaleki zabafundi kufuneka zithathe inxaxheba kwezemidlalo zesikolo ngokobuni babo ababelwe ekuzalweni, hayi ubuni babo. Kwaye ngo-Epreli, i-Arkansas yaba ngumbuso wokuqala ukuvala unyango lwezonyango kunye neenkqubo kubantu abaneminyaka engaphantsi kweminyaka eyi-18. iihormone zesondo, okanye utyando oluqinisekisa isini kunokubangela ukuphulukana nelayisensi yabo yezonyango. Oku kubalulekile kuba ukungafikeleli kukhathalelo lwempilo oluqinisekisa isini kunokuchaphazela kakubi kakhulu ulutsha oludlulayo ngokwasemzimbeni, lwentlalo, kunye nempilo yengqondo.

Inkcazo entsha yeCandelo 1557 iya kuchaphazela njani le mithetho karhulumente? Kuseyi-TBD. Amagosa akwaBiden axelele INew York Times ukuba basebenza kwimimiselo engakumbi echaza ngokuthe ngqo ukuba zeziphi izibhedlele, oogqirha, kunye neinshurensi yezempilo echaphazelekayo kwaye njani. (Okwangoku, ukuba uyatshintsha okanye uyinxalenye yoluntu lwe-LGBTQ + kwaye ufuna uncedo, iZiko leLizwe le-Transgender Equality linolwazi kunye nezixhobo ezibandakanya izikhokelo zokuzinceda, isikhokelo sokugubungela impilo kunye neziko loxwebhu lwe-ID, utsho UGqirha O'Melia.)

"Umsebenzi weSebe lethu kukuphucula impilo kunye nentlalontle yabo bonke abantu baseMelika, kungakhathaliseki ukuba bangobani ngokwesini okanye isini. Bonke abantu bafuna ukufikelela kwiinkonzo zempilo ukulungisa ithambo elaphukileyo, ukukhusela impilo yentliziyo yabo, kunye nesikrini somhlaza. Umngcipheko, utshilo u-Nobhala Wezempilo, u-Rachel Levine, MD, umntu wokuqala o-transgender ukuba aqinisekiswe yi-Senate, kwisibhengezo se-HHS. "Akukho mntu kufuneka acalulwe xa efuna iinkonzo zonyango ngenxa yokuba ngubani."

Kwaye, ngombulelo, iintshukumo zamva nje ezithathwe yi-HHS ziya kunceda ekuqinisekiseni ukuba kunjalo kunjalo.
