The Biden administration is moving to make gender confirmation surgery available through Veterans Affairs health care, a VA department spokesperson says.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough is moving to make gender confirmation surgery available to transgender veterans through Veterans Affairs health care coverage, according to a VA department spokesperson.

McDonough will announce the move at a Pride event at the Orlando Vet Center in Florida later on Saturday, according to the spokesperson."We are taking the first necessary steps to expand VA's care to include gender confirmation surgery -- thus allowing transgender vets to go through the full gender confirmation process with VA by their side," McDonough's prepared remarks state. CNN obtained a copy of the speech.

Ridiculous 🤦🏼‍♂️

This is bull shit

I have seen and heard about some of the most f$-up things over the course of my life, but this is by far the craziest shit yet.....Whoa!

Mental illness

Waste of money

I strongly disagree with this. Military benefits should not pay for sex changes. Tax payers should not pay for cosmetic surgeries, including sex changes. That’s a personal choice is not a life threatening medical condition that is required. They can do it, but not by tax payer.

Ha Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah

Exactly how many veterans will want this procedure?

What a joke-SMH

Taxpayers now to pay for this? Think we just went off the rails of this crazy train. Can I take back my vote SleepyJoe? I mean POTUS? Is this really about supporting individual choice, future TheDemocrats votes or simply lining pockets of hospitals and doctors as I suspect?

Biết đâu mình lại dành cho nhau.

Chân thành phù hợp

It is not Healthcare. But whatever. I lost confidence in modern medicine decades ago.

Whats next?

Fucking gross.

Wtf? Why? This is disgusting. Why are my tax dollars going to this bullshit ass satanic crap?

Don't ya think they need to concentrate and actually getting better care available first before some elective surgery that is really not detrimental....This is just another example of spending money on bullshit instead of fixing important stuff! That's what the Dems are all about

If Congress and the Biden administration decide to expand eligibility for gender confirmation (AKA gender re-assignment ) surgery as an elective surgery paid for by Medicaid/Medicare. Then MedicareMedicaid better be allowed to pay for an elective breast reduction surgery for me.

Có thể nói chuyện đến lần thứ 2

Smh. But still not the anti lynching bill

Yêu một người, rốt cuộc cũng chỉ là dành cả đời để chờ đợi người ấy,

Our vets can’t get care at home, many are dying or in critical care. This is ridiculous.

Who didn't see this coming?

Strap it on, tie it back, problem solved!

Stupid

I am NOT in favor of our tax dollars being spent in this way.

And your back pain is still 0% service connected.

Liberalism is a mental disorder

“Gender confirmation” huh? If you ever wonder whether this is the right way to go or it is something being sold to the public, just look at the terms they came up with.

in my country it is available so what's the problem

Gender is confirmed at birth

Now do taking care of veterans who are not able to receive timely medical care, homeless, suffering from mental illness, PTSD, drug addiction, unemployment and inability to reintegrate into society because all of the above are not addressed

So join the military for your free surgery, college, mortgage, and lifetime disability benefits for not being physically disabled.

... confirmation surgery? Yeah, thats not a thing.

Gender confirmation Apparently the most delicate part of the procedure is when you remove the part of the brain that control reason and accountability … that’s when a maaaaan becomes a womaaaaan!!!

Patrichaty looks after them self.

But they want 2leave Vets homeless& hungry but will pay for a sextran🤔🙄 POTUS VP SenBooker EdMarkey SenWarren RandPaul I watched an elderly Vet suffer. I tried to help, I call for his benefits & nothing was available. He died in a Nursing Home charging him $16,000 amonth.

Jesus f’ing Christ

darksecretplace

POTUS I am all for anything that supports my military brothers and sisters. But are there not more important issues with PTSD depression veteranhomelessness and reitroduction to society, than confirmation of what our parents gave us

I think this is great and all, but we need Veterans Choice to go away, and the Shadow Rulers of the VA to be prosecuted. I don't like standing in the same line as Medicaid and Medicare recipients. At the VA, I am in the front, and only line.

Maybe vets have more pressing matters to put first than gender dysphoria...

There is no such thing as 'transgender'. You can change sexuality and have all the surgeries but will always have the same chromosomes and gender. For the government/taxpayers to subsidize unnecessary elective surgery for anyone is a complete misuse of taxes.

Juneteenth “The US will always support dignity, equity, and freedom for all around the world.” We honor this virtue; & expect same dignity & equity to all of us DV2021 winners; real dreamers aiming to contribute rest of their lives in 'NEW ENGLAND.' 🙏 USAmbNepal USAmbNepal

Is it wrong to feel pride as a heterosexual?

Gender confirmation? So Dick Enlargement surgery will be an option as well as dickectomy?

Firstly: cool. But Secondly, I can see the same people who whinge about Planned Parenthood will have something new to moan about for years to come.

Another great use of tax dollars

Interesting

What a f’d up time our country is going through. Just keeps getting more bizarre. 3.5 more years

OwningTheRepubes 👶🏻

Please not. This is not how tax money should ever be spent. on vets, yes, for sure. On frivolous luxury nonsense? Hell frickin' no. A big reason why ALL people are sick of government is irresponsible pissing away tax dollars to public companies, investors, and bs like this.

this Dem disagrees - tax payers should not be footing the bill

More language changes in real time. Good speak and bad speak 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Good.
