Access To Transgender Hormone Therapy
Category: Health | Area of Effect: Healthcare
Proposed by: Honeydewistania | Onsite Topic​

The World Assembly,

Heralding the efforts made by GA#467 "Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy" which ensured that transgender individuals could easily access hormone therapy for medical transition,

Recognising, however, that the resolution does not go far enough in ensuring that transgender individuals receive the medication they need, such as through the exclusion of puberty blockers from the definition of "hormone therapy",

Totally believing that a supplementary resolution is required to resolve these issues, hereby:
  1. Defines "hormone therapy" as any medical treatment using hormones or chemicals that reduce their effect which is carried out on a person effectively and with minimal risk to their health for the sole purpose of aligning their sexual characteristics with their gender identity (or lack thereof),
  2. Requires member nations to allow their inhabitants to seek and obtain hormone therapy with their free and informed consent, and ensure that those inhabitants face as few barriers as possible when seeking hormone therapy,
  3. Mandates that the process of seeking and obtaining hormone therapy cost no more than the fees absolutely necessary for the manufacturing and distribution of hormone therapy, and very strongly urges member nations to waive any and all costs inhabitants may have to pay when seeking and obtaining hormone therapy,
  4. Forbids any entity from:
    • denying hormone therapy to any person, except where a legitimate danger to their health would arise as a result,
    • requiring any person to seek or obtain hormone therapy,
    • coercing anyone to seek or obtain hormone therapy, and further forbids entities from coercing people to not seek or obtain hormone therapy.

Overview
This resolution seeks to provide for the ability of transgender and other gender non-conforming people to more easily obtain access to hormone treatments. To this end, the author first defines the practice and then mandates that member states allow interested parties to obtain it without obstacles. They then go on to detail that any costs should be strictly based on logistics and manufacture and not based on usage while then noting that no coercion to obtain or not obtain hormone-based treatments should be applied.

Recommendation
While this is at its heart a medical issue, it is also a philosophical one and a moral one. Tentative research suggests that the brains of transgender people more closely resemble the brains of the gender they identify with. And further, there is something to be said about whether it is right to force someone to potentially suffer in anguished silence, unable to express the truest form of who they are. That may be a stance that some corners of the multiverse may accept for reasons we altogether find narrow and bigoted, but we cannot accept any paradigm which refuses to grant every sapient being the ability to express themselves freely.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Access to Transgender Hormone Therapy".
Our recommendation dispatch--please upvote!

Sexual or Gender Identity plays zero role in the effectiveness of any individual comrade. Comrades work for the betterment of each other and The State as a whole.
We can change our clothing style, hair colours, where we live. We can further choose to completely change one's name. So why not change sex and/or gender to fit what you feel is more right for yourself? We already change everything else on a whim.


With that all said, the autocratic republic votes For and urges others to do the same.
 
Honeydewistan:
The clause in fact deliberately targets privatised healthcare with exorbitant costs.

Against in that case. I am aware that this will pass anyway but I am, as a matter of principle, against intervention in nations with private health care systems.
