A Wisconsin federal court rules that two Wisconsin state employees may proceed with their suit alleging that the state health insurance trans exclusion is illegal. Several defendants are dismissed based on the technicalities of state government insurance law, but the main allegations remain against the state employee insurance board under the federal Civil Rights Act, the Affordable Care Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act (42 USC 1983). The Court also rules that the injunction issued by the rogue US District Court in the Northern District of Texas (cherry picked by Jeff Sessions and run by the moonstruck conservative Judge Reed O’Connor), against enforcement of Affordable Care Act regulations acknowledging that trans people are protected from sex discrimination, which in any event was later dissolved by his own order, is not applicable to the Affordable Care Act statute itself, under which the plaintiffs brought their action.
