President Biden continues to make all kinds of sickening decisions, and that goes for all of his cabinet members as well. The latest one is literally going to break your heart if you love this country as much as other patriots do.
Joe Biden’s VA Secretary, Denis McDonough, recently spoke at a Pride Month event in Florida this Saturday. He discussed various issues related to the LGBTQ-whatever (however many letters they have, oh brother) movement and he proclaimed that the agency was going to “take the first necessary steps to expand VA’s care to include gender confirmation surgery.” That’s right. He wants there to be coverage that will cover gender reassignment surgery, and he thinks that this will allow “transgender vets the ability to go through the full gender confirmation process with the VA at their side.” There is no word yet on whether these newly expanded benefits are going to help the 37,000 homeless and sick veterans who would probably like an occasional meal and a roof over their heads.
Last January, President Biden signed an executive order that lifted the ban on most transgender people serving in the military.
McDonough took the opportunity to do a great deal of spin: “due in part to minority stress, LGBTQ+ veterans experience mental illness and suicidal thoughts at higher rates than others that are outside of their community, and they are significantly less likely to seek out routine care because they are afraid of discrimination.”
Posters on Twitter were asking serious questions regarding this new policy, including the following: “What % of our vets need social help and mental help vs. what % are transgender and want to be able to have the change surgery? 10% vs. .001%? If this has cost 250K for one surgery how many vets would really need that help for their other needs? Certainly not against vets getting their needs met, but need balance.”
The GOP also came out swinging against the Biden Administration for this flagrant misuse of taxpayer dollars: “President Biden and Secretary McDonough need to focus much less on winning the culture wars and more focused on helping those veterans who are suffering because of their participation in actual wars,” Ranking Member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee Rep. Mike Bost told Fox News.
“Congress has been waiting for months for them to get to the table and help us deliver care and benefits to toxic-exposed veterans who are not well and dying. We have not gotten any response,” this ranking veteran continued. “Yet, they somehow find the time to decide that the taxpayers should pay for gender transition surgeries at various VA medical facilities.”
Of course, it’s a crying shame that the VA secretary didn’t say whether these new generous tax-payer-funded benefits would be extended to females who wanted to get things like breast augmentation, face-lifts, and tummy tucks.
What do you think about this ridiculous and sickening new policy at the VA?
