VA considers gender-confirming surgery for veterans
Washington Post ^ | June 8, 2016 | Joe Davidson

As debate swirls around who can use what restroom, the Department of Veterans Affairs is placing itself on the side of what makes sense.

It is moving to change regulations so VA hospitals can provide gender confirming, or gender reassignment, surgery. This procedure alters a transgender person’s sexual characteristics in order to match the individual’s sexual identity.

“This rulemaking proposes to remove a restriction… that prohibits VA from providing medical services that are considered gender alteration,” according to a document posted last week on a government regulations website. …

Gender-confirming?

That may be the wrongest thing I’ve ever heard.

then they HAVE TO amputate arms and legs too. It’s the same ####ing disorder and i CANT BELIEVE that no doctor or politician ever mentions it.

body dysmorphia. dont believe the part belongs to you.

one doctor cited it as reason why an inmate SHOULD have his ###### removed. But never mentioned arms and legs

that’s done in south America for about 25000.

I bet there’s people in America who would do it illegally for 2k.

‘Gender-Confirming’?

First time I’ve heard that particular mangling of words and meaning...

Watch for an even more NEW buzz word: GENDER CHOICE.

After that: RECALL gender choice, back to what I was born.

After that: Dual gender choice.

That type of illness really exists as do people who aspire to be blind. I could not believe it until a friend of mine pointed me to a few articles.

Collectively, the sick puppies who aspire to lose a limb or more or their vision, hearing and other senses are nearly as numerous as those wanting to have sex reassignment surgery.

We just don't hear about them as much because our sick and depraved culture haven't yet decided to condition the sheeple to accept it as normal or courageous.

They’ll be waiting months, maybe even years, for their private parts, hahahaha...or the complete removal of them! Good luck with the VA! They can’t even get people in for a heart attack let alone a boob job!

A person’s sexual identity is fixed at birth. Why is there a need to alter sexual characteristics? To do this at taxpayer expense is beyond ludicrous.

Or, as I postulated, the sex changes get priority over the real health issues and more vets die as a consequence.

I see the libtards have found a NEW WAY to express the word ‘freak’

Gender-Confirming.

There must be a room where they sit around and think of new weasel words to hide what they mean. Is there a secret code book so they know?

Gender confirming? You mean there is someone out there who can’t unzip his/her pants and confirm their gender?

They can’t replace a vet’s knee within 5 years but want to fast track sex change. What a bunch of morons.
