You may have been pleased when Iowa banned funding for sex change surgeries under Medicaid, but maybe you didn't see the California travel ban in our future!

You see it's true. Because we as a State decided not to pay for these procedures under medicaid, the fine people of the State of California decided that it will no longer pay for taxpayer-funded trips to Iowa for any public employee or student at a state-run university.

The announcement was made by Attorney General Xavier Becerra and goes into effect on October 4.

“The Iowa Legislature has reversed course on what was settled law under the Iowa Civil Rights Act, repealing protections for those seeking gender-affirming health care,” Becerra said in a statement. “California has taken an unambiguous stand against discrimination and government actions that would enable it."

We join Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi as States California has banned official travel to.

According to the Los Angeles Times, public schools are getting round the ban through private funding.

Does this ban make you happy or sad?
