The US government has announced it will offer gender confirmation surgery for transgender veterans through its health care coverage for the first time.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) secretary Denis McDonough announced the change at a Pride event in Florida.
He said it would allow veterans to go through the full process "with VA at their side".
Previously hormone therapy and mental health services were covered but not surgery.
Gender confirmation surgery, also known as sex reassignment surgery, covers a range of procedures which alter a person's anatomy to match their gender identity.

New slogan? “Are you cut out for today’s army?”
Should make some of the PTSD crowd a little safer if they are “fixed”. Helps with tom cats and pit bulls.
With the mental issues they exhibit, they should never be allowed in and kicked out and committed to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.
Insanity!
This is my rifle.
This is where my gun was.
Society is becoming sicker and sicker with every passing day... And the day that they allow pedophilia and bestiality... Civilization is officially OVER!
This is another fraud that lets a person wanting this surgery join the military to get it free. I am sure that I am not alone in questioning this elective surgery that will put the taxpayers on the hook for the life of the patient. It will require medication and medical and psychological treatment for the remainder of the life of anybody who is mutilated in the expectation of living a normal life. In addition, a VA govt pension check will be theirs for life as they will not be able to handle employment like the taxpayers who support them. On the other hand, just why is the VA joining this madness while ignoring the need of thousands of vets who cannot afford dental care? The govt in general is facilitating elective sexual surgery when the actual situation of millions of older Americans would be healthier with just dental and hearing attention. Throwing money at elective surgery for vets who join the service as one sex and decide to chop off some part of their anatomy or add something is not their business. Who in the hell is in charge of this country anyway? Right, Communists, democrats and fellow travelers in the Deep State. All of those who voted for this Biden administration bear a lasting guilt for the madness that is trying to destroy this Republic.
Since when has this happened. I departed the service after serving six years and sometime around 1982 or so Congress in their infinite wisdom decided to drop million of former non-Combat wounded veterans after promising to provide health coverage to those same vets to get them to enlist during the “Peaceful” cold war.
Now you look and not only are they giving care to veterans. They’re giving sex change operations. This is Nuts.
Are there any veterans here that are aware of changes that allow vets from the 70’s and later to resume coverage through the V.A.?
Major Disaster?
This is a nightmare. Half the country has gone mad.
The taxpayers will get the privilege of paying for this hooey.
When I lived in Philly,I would go to the VA and volunteer as a Army Vet who knew what it’s like to go through LEGITIMATE issues. Most have no clue how many Vets are on the streets but now the priority is shlong cutting?
how about vasectomy reversal just to be fair.
I remember my uncle fighting tooth and nail for the most mundane of procedures at the VA hospital. Anyone wanna guess if the trannies will have to wait in line like the rest of the vets?
I am good at dressing out game. Perhaps I could assist! Unfortunately I am only good at slicing and dicing and not repair and reconstruction.
Of course this is sarcasm but it is just show the idiocy of what is going on. It should also be noted that many that undergo transgender surgery often regret their decisions. The suicide and addiction rate in this group is large in the extreme compared to the general population.
In addition, to allow an individual of less than adulthood (18 it the legal definition) to be given hormones and or surgery is simply child abuse. At that age their bodies are a mass of hormones and confusion abetted by the media that promotes a LGBT agenda. These confused kids are victims. They often make the wrong decision which can not be reversed. Thus comes the drug abuse and suicide due to extreme depression.
“Caitlyn Jenner” his real name is Bruce Jenner is running for governor of California. He was and is the most outstanding Olympic Swimmer in History, but his current water drag profile due to his new chest would be a killer in competition. What he did to his body was as an adult and totally his choice. A little bit weird but I approve his right to do this.
Oddly, he is far superior to the present governor of California. I hope he wins. Not she, but I hope “he” wins.
How did we come to this?
