"A slew of Catholic organisations are set to sue the Obama administration over a federal law which protects the transgender community from discrimination.

Uh, yeah, because we all really, really want to get surgery from a doctor with no experience, who doesn't particularly want to do it anyway, and recover in a facility that officially thinks we should not exist.

Or not.

Why does organized religion get itself so worked up about things that just don't happen in the real world?

So true!

The comments were the usual disgusting claptrap.

If the USA ever develops a normal civilisation you may end up with a health care system that looks after one thing.

Health.

Maybe it's the result of watching too many Godfather movies, but I have a peculiar tendency to equate politics, organized religion and organized crime all into the same box
