From HB 2002 (my emphasis):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 (b) \u201cGender-affirming treatment\u201d means a procedure, service, drug, device or product that a physical or behavioral health care provider prescribes to treat an individual for incongruence between the individual\u2019s gender identity and the individual\u2019s sex assignment at birth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 (c) \u201cHealth benefit plan\u201d has the meaning given that term in ORS 743B.005 [meaning, a licensed insurance company, a health care contractor, an HMO, or an association of employers].<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDetransitioners are seeking care to restore congruence with their born sex. That\u2019s apparently a distinction that makes a big difference in terms of the proposal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cRepublican representative Ed Diehl thought the same thing. So, he filed an amendment to provide equal coverage for medical services for detransitioners and transitioners alike. Democrats rejected it out of hand. Diehl told me in an email:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>I introduced a -11 Amendment to House Bill 2002. It would have mandated insurance coverage for detransition treatments, similar to how the base bill covers \u201cgender-affirming treatment\u201d. The amendment was flatly rejected by the Democrats.

From the Sudinfo story (Google translation):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The principle of irrevocability as well as the procedure before the family court are abolished, announced the Minister of Justice Vincent Van Quickenborne in a press release. . . . This means that people will be allowed to change their gender and first name several times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Similarly, the procedure before the family court will also be abolished.
