I just don’t understand our “new” government. Everything is SO pc to the point of stupid. If those transgender individuals could afford the sex change operation, they can surly afford the post op hormone shots. The wives should encourage their husbands to continue asking the VA for help. In the military we learned the squeaking wheel gets the grease, so they should insist they get the treatment they have earned and deserve. Ask the local congressman and senator for help. Sometimes it takes a lot of paperwork and patience, but it is worth it, in the end.
The wives I know are doing just that; testifying on Capitol Hill and personally meeting with members of congress. It’s VA that is slow to move, which the president could do something about as well.
