The Yahoo article glosses over the details. I'm sad that AP News is showing bias, but this article does dig a little deeper: https://apnews.com/article/health-care-transgender-sex-discrimination-77f297d88edb699322bf5de45a7ee4ff

Biden's administration is rolling back Trump administration orders to what they were in Obama days - insurers and medical care professionals may not discriminate against patient sexual orientation or gender identity.

Not discriminating again LGB and yes, even T, is a good thing! Everyone deserves access to healthcare and life-saving medicine.

But lets be real. This isn't about gay men or lesbians being denied open-heart surgery, or trans men or women being denied appendectomies or gall bladder removals. This is about insurers paying for puberty blockers for kids, oops, I mean adults. It's about cosmetic top/bottom surgeries for 16+, and doctors not being able to refuse because they did it for someone whose life depended on it.

This is setting the stage again for the Equality Act to actually pass in the US. They are trying to change "sex" into "gender identity" and legally punish people for refusing to acknowledge the lie.
