The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced an immediate halt to gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender veterans, citing an executive order from President Trump. This decision ends access to cross-sex hormone therapy for new patients and eliminates all medical care related to gender dysphoria, redirecting resources towards veterans with severe injuries. VA Secretary Doug Collins emphasized a need to prioritize traditional care over gender-affirmation, despite opposition from major medical associations that support such treatments for transgender individuals.
"I mean no disrespect to anyone, but VA should not be focused on helping veterans attempt to change their sex. The vast majority of veterans and Americans agree, and that is why this is the right decision."
"VA will not provide any other medical or surgical therapy for gender dysphoria to any patients in any circumstance."
