CLEVELAND (WKYC) – The Cleveland VA Medical Center will open the first VA clinic specifically dedicated to the healthcare needs of transgender veterans.
It will provide transgender veterans with primary care, hormonal therapy, mental health care and social work services. All of the providers in the clinic have a special interest in transgender care and will create an environment that celebrates and welcomes these veterans.
Transgender patients are an important, but frequently overlooked, VA says in a news release. The Cleveland VA currently treats about 20 transgender veterans.
Each year more than 200 patients are newly diagnosed with gender dysphoria across the country, which puts them at a higher risk for tobacco abuse, mental health disorders, and suicide according to Dr. Megan McNamara, who is the clinical lead for the transgender clinic.
A ceremony will begin Thursday at 12:30 p.m. on the second level of the main atrium at the Wade Park facility.
The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center provides healthcare to more than 112,000 veterans annually through its inpatient and outpatient healthcare services.
That this is even allowed to be set up with taxpayer $$ is offensive and obscene.
What would the Sgt. in “Full Metal Jacket” say?
Some day... sanity will return to this Country.
Is this a satire? I don’t believe there are 20 transgendered veterans in need of treatment.
So vets are dying for lack of regular care and they need to cater to freaks?
We already crossed into the Twilight Zone. Now the story is just getting weirder.
I have seen transgendered at my lock VA facility, they are mainstreamed according to established VA priorities. As it should be.
My level of surprise at this story, zero, and that may be the worst part. This nonsense has become commonplace.
Liberal version of shock and awe.
“....This nonsense has become commonplace...”
Which is the entire point of what they’re doing.
Trying to normalize it.
My advice for these freaks: http://youtu.be/fdK-d_RQWM4
