The Defense Department will resume providing gender-affirming care for service members, a blow to the Trump administration’s effort to eliminate transgender individuals from the U.S. military.
A Pentagon memo dated Monday and revealed Thursday states the department will restore surgical procedures and cross-sex hormone therapy to individuals, including dependents of troops, as first reported by Politico.
“Service members and all other covered beneficiaries 19 years of age or older may receive appropriate care for their diagnosis of [gender dysphoria], including mental health care and counseling and newly initiated or ongoing cross-sex hormone therapy,” according to the memo, signed by Stephen Ferrara, acting assistant secretary of Defense for health affairs. “Service members may also receive voice therapy and appropriate surgical procedures.”
The directive comes after two federal judges last month blocked the Pentagon’s transgender service member ban and a third temporarily blocked the military from separating two transgender Air Force members in a more limited ruling.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes of Washington, D.C., who first blocked the ban, said the administration’s policy is “soaked in animus.” The Pentagon is appealing that decision, and earlier Thursday the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to allow President Trump to enforce his ban.

Frankenstein Monsters
It is well within the CIC’s powers to release any officer from service.
Has this Judge Tooty Junior Wannabe checked with the American Taxpayers to see if they want THEIR TAXPAYER DOLLARS being wasted on the sicko bass turds with all of their mental issues.
No surgery to mutilate their genitals is going to address the issues in their minds.
“...providing gender-affirming care for service members...”
Apparently not if some woke "judge" decides otherwise.
Why have an executive branch of government if any judge can overrule anything?
At this point, the Trump administration has been effectively hamstrung.
They can’t get anything done.
No arrests of the malignant malefactors that effected a coup last time he was elected, either.
They have effected the coup against his second term with lawfare.
About all he has been able to do is virtually shut down the border.
That will change when the next demonrat is elected.
NOT how I want my tax money used. They need to save up their pennies and dimes if they want it.
Refer them to Dr. Kutchacockoff.

I have often posted:
Gender affirming is celebrating the gender you are.
Gender denying is telling someone you are something else.
These people are all delusional, psychotic, brain-damaged, mentally ill, nutjobs.
They need to check mate rogue judges or admit defeat. Charge judges as complicit with the gangs, charge them with insurrection, defend them... there has to be a focused and concerted effort to take them down.
If need be ignore them and let them try to impeach Trump.
I thought the President was controlled the Pentagon.
“defund them”... not defend them, typo...
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) classifies gender dysphoria as a mental condition.
It’s a mental illness.
Is it sound policy to have people suffering from mental illness in our armed forces...?
Trans Uber Alles continues
Nooooooope!
These Blue America judges are holding Magenta America hostage.
