A new law in Vermont would require taxpayers to fund sex change operations for minors and could even allow such procedures to occur without parental permission.
Current Vermont law states that a person must be at least 21-years-old to receive taxpayer funds to assist in sex change surgery.
However, Vermont health insurance regulators are proposing a change that would allow minors on Medicaid to receive a gender reassignment free of charge.
The proposal, which was made by the state’s Department of Health Access, would require persons under the age of 18 to get parental approval before any such procedure.
However, the proposal states that if the “minor is emancipated by court order,” permission is not required.
“The proposed law would allow for minors to have access to sixteen different types of genital surgery, including breast augmentation and mastectomies,” reports CBN News.
To qualify for the operation, patients must have lived for at least 12 months “in a gender role that is congruent with their gender identity,” must have received hormonal therapy and are required to obtain two written clinical evaluations from mental health professionals.
The proposal is being held for public comment until July 17, after which it will be voted on by the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules.
‘X-Files-Like Mystery’ In Texas As Cattle Found Dead With Missing Tongues

Authorities in Texas are investigating the mysterious deaths of six cattle found with their tongues “completely removed” by precision “clean cuts.”
Ranchers in Madison County, about 100 miles southeast of Waco, found the mutilated remains of a 6-year-old longhorn-cross cow lying on her side at their ranch.
Madison County Sheriff’s Office said, “A straight, clean cut, with apparent precision, had been made to remove the hide around the cow’s mouth on one side, leaving the meat under the removed hide untouched. The tongue was also completely removed from the body with no blood spill.” “It was noted there were no signs of struggle and the grass around the cow was undisturbed,” investigators from the sheriff’s office said.
Investigators added: “No footprints or tire tracks were noted in the area.”
Ranchers also reported five similar cases involving four adult cows and one yearling in Brazos and Robertson counties.
The exact cause of death of the six livestock is unknown; each was found the same way, with “face cut along the jaw line and the tongue removed” in “straight, clean cut, with apparent precision,” the sheriff’s office said.
One commenter on the Facebook post wrote, “This is just to dristraxt of from how high inflation is.”
The discovery of the cattle resembles a storyline from an episode of “The X-Files.”
