What's the matter with Iowa? Kimmi the Clown endorses GOP assault on transgender community

 

Headline:  Des Moines Register, 6/11/2025

Stephen Gruber-Miller reports:

Republican lawmakers included the policy in the state's $2.47 billion health and human services budget, which funds Iowa's Department of Health and Human Services, including Iowa's Medicaid program, as well as the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

Reynolds, a Republican, announced the bill's signing in a news release Wednesday, June 11, without comment. 

The American Medical Society says gender-affirming care, including hormone therapy and surgeries, is necessary to treat gender dysphoria, which occurs when an incongruence exists between a person's expressed gender and the gender they were assigned at birth.
