The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced an immediate halt to gender-affirming care for transgender veterans. This decision stems from President Donald Trump's executive order that strictly defines gender as male or female, based on birth assignments. As a result, transgender veterans will no longer have access to cross-sex hormone therapy unless they were already enrolled in such treatments at the time of their military discharge. This policy change signifies a major shift in the VA's approach to providing health care for transgender individuals.
