Range of medical conditions, from endometriosis to migraine headaches. They insist it’s about sex and responsibility. But if it is, why do they cover Viagra?If these objections were really about religion and morality, and not, like the ban on trans people in the military, about discrimination, then these employers should have the same moral objection to Viagra—a drug that, like birth control, facilitates sex, whether for procreation or not, and whether in or out of wedlock. Shouldn’t they refuse to cover the cost of Viagra for their unmarried male employees?Of course not, because the objections to covering the costs of birth control aren’t about moral objections; they’re about institutionalized sexism and the belief that women having control of their own bodies—and, God forbid, enjoying sex—is wrong. Just like a ban on trans people in the military would not be about medical expenses, but about transphobia and keeping trans people on the margins of society instead of embracing them.
