A coalition of 69 Congress members led by Rep. Mark Takano has condemned the VA's decision to eliminate gender-affirming care for transgender veterans, which includes hormone therapy and prosthetics. The VA's justification was based on misleading claims about veteran support for such actions, while the letter criticizes these moves as harmful to the well-being of transgender individuals seeking care. The VA's earlier directive aimed to provide respectful care for trans veterans, but recent actions suggest an increasingly hostile environment, undermining their access to necessary healthcare services.
Your decision to rescind this directive was just the latest action by President Trump and VA to end support for transgender veterans.
The move received immediate and widespread condemnation, underscoring the critical need for supportive healthcare for transgender veterans.
