Turek has also said he opposes Iowa Republicans’ 2025 removal of gender identity discrimination protections. But why were those protections removed, you ask? Because Republicans wanted to be able to ban “taxpayer funding for sex changes” — exactly what Turek advocates here. Which one is it, Josh?

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Simply put, a law mandating that trans people are denied federal funding for our healthcare can only exist in a world where trans people aren’t protected from discrimination. Turek has said he wants the former. That means he wants the latter too. Fuck Josh Turek.
