Sex Reassignment Surgeries Are Now Tax-Deductible
LatestA tax court has ruled that expenses incurred in securing sex reassignment surgery are tax deductible, as the procedure is not one of aesthetic preference, but rather medical necessity. This technically means that everyone who is paying taxes is subsidizing sex reassignment, a fact that would give Michele Bachmann a coronary. This is only going to lead to everyone getting recreational sex changes. Anarchy in the pants!
TIME magazine reports that the ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by Rhiannon O’Donnabhain, who was audited after attempting to deduct expenses related to her sex reassignment surgery in 2003. Originally, the IRS claimed that sex reassignment surgery is purely aesthetic in nature, but O’Donnabhain’s attorneys claimed that Gender Identity Disorder is a serious medical issue and that she’d suffered from it since age 10. The tax court agreed.
