Pentagon Reinstates Transgender Surgeries

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 8

The Defense Department is bringing back “gender-affirming care” for troops and their families.

The memo that has been going around says hormone therapy, surgeries, and counseling will be covered again.

Whats going on over there?

This reverses President Trump’s earlier push to bar transgender individuals from the military.

The change applies to service members and dependents 19 and older.

Pro-DEI, transgenderism, and illegals.

That’s apparently the unholy trinity that the Left worships and is hellbent on promoting.

The Hill reports:

The Defense Department will resume providing gender-affirming care for service members, a blow to the Trump administration’s effort to eliminate transgender individuals from the U.S. military.

A Pentagon memo dated Monday and revealed Thursday states the department will restore surgical procedures and cross-sex hormone therapy to individuals, including dependents of troops, as first reported by Politico.

“Service members and all other covered beneficiaries 19 years of age or older may receive appropriate care for their diagnosis of [gender dysphoria], including mental health care and counseling and newly initiated or ongoing cross-sex hormone therapy,” according to the memo, signed by Stephen Ferrara, acting assistant secretary of Defense for health affairs. “Service members may also receive voice therapy and appropriate surgical procedures.”

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

The directive comes after two federal judges last month blocked the Pentagon’s transgender service member ban and a third temporarily blocked the military from separating two transgender Air Force members in a more limited ruling.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes of Washington, D.C., who first blocked the ban, said the administration’s policy is “soaked in animus.” The Pentagon is appealing that decision, and earlier Thursday the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to allow President Trump to enforce his ban.

This is a direct slap in the face of the President, especially as it comes on the heels of his request to ban transgender troops:

I don’t even want to speculate if tax payers will pay for this because I’m believing this will get blocked quickly.
