The VA should begin gender-affirming surgery for trans veterans

Twelve years ago this week, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the discriminatory military policy that barred lesbian, gay and bisexual people from serving openly in the U.S. Armed Forces, ended. Between 1994 and 2011, while Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was in effect, the military kicked me and an estimated 14,000 of my peers out — not for our merits, but simply because of who we were as people.

While ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell enabled military service for lesbian, gay and bisexual people, transgender people were still de facto banned under a McCarthy-era executive order that tasked federal agencies with investigating their employees who pose “security threats.”

Well, if there was any question before now about the hill...

The VA should never do totally elective surgeries; Vets are not owed them as a “benefit”.

[higgmeister]

not for our merits, but simply because of who we were as people.

Who you still are, is a demerit to sane people.

[Howie66]

Nope.

[Spok]

When will the military personnel who refused the jab get amnesty?

[Wuli]

What they refer to as “gender affirming” are in fact gender denying. Your DNA has already spelled out your gender. If you have a mental problem, as in gender dysphoria, it is the mind, the thinking that needs medical - mental health care - attention, not the body.

It just needs a helicopter.

Trannies can fly, right?

[lee martell]

I thought this was already being done, maybe for the last 10 or 12 years, in spite of long recovery times and on going expenes.

Another great idea from the death cult—given that an average of as many as 44 veterans commit suicide everyday, adding the suicide rate among the gender dysporhic population, once they’ve had their genitals mutilated, we even might hit 50 a day.

"..McCarthy-era executive order that tasked federal agencies with
investigating their employees who pose “security threats.”"

That worked well for the female attire stealing/wearing brinton.

I’m getting bombarded to sign up for some VA health thing via snail mail....Since when do Vets have to sign up for what they’ve earned?

Or is it the G trying to get as many as possible enrolled in the G health system....where decisions about gender, mental health, life or death are made according to G guidelines?

Gee whiz, from this you'd think the US Military's Mission was to keep the World Safe for Homos and Trannys ...

Oh wait, ....

Never mind.

[Enterprise]

The VA should begin trans gendering all Democrat males.

A very good question that needs to be answered.

[PGR88]

Will they name the operations after famous generals?

She’s come in for a Chesty Puller.

He wants a Patton on his George Thomas

[ronniesgal]

amen to that. with a capital F.

[stanne]

VA is taxpayer funded government money

The government is 33 trillion in debt.

The Hill wants this. They are insane. Insane

[kickstart]

Join the military. Go trans. Begin the process. Get your pecker shot off.

Line forms to the rear...
