“ … a suicide-prone group that suffers from high rates of depression and psychological distress”

How did they make it past psychological screening?

“to provide the gender-affirming surgery so many of us need to survive”

Their bodies work just fine. They have survived for decades.

Include the costs of lifelong treatment that is very expensive and causes lifelong disabilities that taxpayers will have to pay

Natalie Kastner, a 39-year-old disabled veteran from Texas, took a knife to her own testicles because the VA wasn't paying for a procedure

That's nuts !!

Suicide prone because ANYONE who is deeply mentally and emotionally disturbed is more likely to commit suicide. The solution would be to teach them to adjust to REALITY, not to pretend men can get pregnant!

So if a vet feels bad because he has a small wanker, does this mean we’re on tap to buy him a bigger one?

I had to pay $36,000 out of pocket end of last year for my cancer treatment because what the VA offered was so archaic, so backward, it would have left me a mess. Of course you have interns doing a lot of the work there, a lot of foreign trained doctors (predominantly India), no legal recourse if something is botched, the cheapest meds available for any given issue, long wait times (I'm 2 months over due for an MRI to see if I'm clear)... It's the VA. They have a reputation to live up to.

BTW, as a customer, during the Trump era where the MSM relentlessly kept talking about how Trump doesn't care about Vets, you could literally see the positive changes in the VA. By year 3 of Trump, the VA was an entirely different animal (in a good way). And today, even as the VA slips backward no one in the MSM cares.

No stories about long wait times returning in many of the major hospitals, no stories about how you can't get pain meds today even if you really need them...

You can't get quick treatment for cancer, but if you want a Covid vaccine and all 100 boosters, you can get them on the spot!

Government is a political beast. Everything they touch becomes a political decision.

Since all this LGBTQIA junk is trendy right now and every politician wants to jump behind it, the VA will likely end up paying for this if they aren't already.

Sex change would be a “life choice” procedure.
Just like no insurance will cover Viagra. Rosacea treatment. Male pattern baldness, eye lift, etc

Going to file as a man trapped in woman’s body, within a man’s body.

With gender-affirming care double that of regular trans, will need a check for $200k minimum.

Absolutely not! Every one of them should be denied, and if they are still in the military, discharged.

Remember Bradley Manning US Army spy whom obamaumao PARDONED! Now Chelsea Manning— who got the VA to pay for tranny surgery and treatment?

The same little queer who showed up for some UNKNOWN reason for the tearing down of the Univ. Of NC/Chapel Hill Civil War Memorial (to ALL grads of UNC, N or South btw) statue on campus since 1905, known as Silent Sam.

What the actual HELL was this little queer “thing” doing there to support cultural MARXISM? On OUR money, no less.

“The campaigners say they are ‘essential and lifesaving medical care’ for a suicide-prone group”

Trans people are 5 times MORE likely to suicide after transitioning when the realize that 1) it didn’t solve their problems, b) that the surgery reduced their ability to have satisfying sex, often to zero and 3) they had made a huge irreversible mistake.

It was unbelievably stupid to allow trans people into the military. They should have had a rule that trans people weren’t allowed in and would receive a Section 8 discharge if they became or annpunced or whatever that they were.

Those operations not only cost so much, going through the whole thing means a loss of over 250 working days per individual.

Not to mention all the additional things, such as having to re-do operations to fix what went wrong previously, the ancillary ops to make the person look more like the opposite sex such as shaving the Adam’s apple, life-long need for hormonal treatment, and treatment for what taking opposite-sex hormones does to the body.

O read about a woman who had bad facial injuries as the result of a car accident. Insurance considered fixing up her scars as cosmetic and would not cover that. This was under a video about some trans guy talking about how he was going to get **another** jaw-shaving surgery which was covered under his insurance because Obama said trans surgery must be considered medically necessary.

I can not describe how I feel about all this.

NO, The Judicial Branch of Government should be required to pay all claims from judgements by the courts that were not properly budgeted for through the normal and customary legislative process beforehand, by Assessing the Income, Tips, Wages and Assets of every Officer of the Court and Judicial Officer in the State.
