Episode notes
California Funding Gender Care For Undocumented Migrants
- California's Medi-Cal now funds gender-affirming hormones and surgeries for undocumented homeless migrants.
- Investigators found Honduran and Mexican migrants in San Francisco shelters receiving hormone therapy and even surgical implants paid by taxpayers.
Medical Necessity Argument Rewrites Creation Order
- The government's justification treats gender-affirming procedures as medical necessity when gender identity "does not match" assigned sex.
- Mohler argues this legally and morally subverts creation order and creates perverse incentives.
Magawa The Landmine Sniffing Rat
- Magawa the rat cleared more than 141,000 square meters and detected over 100 landmines, saving many lives.
- He could search a tennis-court-sized area in 20 minutes and won the 2020 PDSA gold medal; Cambodia unveiled a statue honoring him.
