Daily Caller News Foundation VA Proposes To Remove Ban On Transgender Surgery For Vets

Jonah Bennett National Security/Foreign Policy Reporter

The Department of Veterans Affairs has proposed to a rule to remove the ban on transgender sex change surgery for veterans, which has existed since the 1990s.

According to the proposed regulation, gender reassignment surgery wasn’t previously considered medically necessary for gender dysphoria, a condition transgender individuals claims makes them feel as though they were born in the wrong body and assigned the wrong gender.

So Obama's Veterans' Administration believes that sex-changes at taxpayers expense is more important than saving dying veterans.

Watch. If this comes through, I’ll bet they won’t have to wait for an appointment or surgery, like other vets do.

Obama marches armed forces leftward

Makes his mark on social front
By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Sunday, April 24, 2016

A recent snapshot of the U.S. Army: Its headquarters sent out a series of Twitter messages last week reminding soldiers to celebrate Earth Day, complete with a photo of a green-shaded globe. This was a few days after the Army announced it had selected a group of newly minted female officers to try out for armor and infantry jobs long closed to women until Mr. Obama interceded. The Army also said in budget documents that soldiers now have the right to “self-identify” who they are, an apparent reference to selecting a gender.

He has no interest in the 20 trillion dollar debt but getting your junk cut off is a top priority.

Hmmmmm? Maybe the VA should first take care of the Veteran’s whom they murder through neglect. Just sayin’.

"Obama believes that funds for social experimentation like the foolishness of transgenderism is far more important than unit cohesion."

I agree. It’s the same reasoning that demands that contraceptive drugs and sterilization surgery be cost-free, while drugs and surgeries for actual illness/injury are subject to deductibles and copays.

This administration is all about making the healthy sick or mutilated, while failing to treat the sick or injured.

Suicide rates among people who get this surgery are so high that Johns Hopkins has stopped performing the surgery.

so, to be politically correct the government will increase the suicide rate among veterans? Whatever happened to “do no harm?”

The VA refuses several “NEEDED” surgeries yet, under odumbo’s orders is going to allow transgendered surgeries? I sure as hell hope Donald Trump jumps all over that one.
Odumbo is absolutely out of his mind!

The VA needs to take care of the veterans who served honorably and the veterans who have been wounded or injured in any way in combat FOR the USA before doing any kind of work for the sexual deviants...

No, Obama is not out of his mind...He is doing exactly what he set out to do...Undermine the integrity and strength of the USA and turn us into a “third world” country to be overrun by Muslims...

That is what he is aiming for...

They won't do anything about my knee or shoulders, but they're talking about doing snip and fix operations on cross-dressers? Start loading the magazines, folks...

This garbage has got to stop.

The perverted fool in the white hut is really engrossed in toilets and twisted human beings....like himself.

The central socialist government needs to have a six month complete shutdown and layoff of worthless goobermint employees. Keep the DOD open, but bring back the generals and admirals that were dismissed for not being politically correct. Discharge the homosexuals and lesbians and start to really defend America.

Start on the southern border.

And we're letting him get away with it, 'cause we're too freakin' lazy to turn off the computer and do something about it.
