Wifestyle/The Woman's Angle President Trump Signs Executive Order Denying Gender Affirming Care To Service Members

Today we discussed a CBS story about President Trump’s executive order barring service members from receiving gender affirming care paid for by the military. As former service members, we have a unique perspective on this issue. The military is a place where a bunch of individuals become a cohesive unit with one goal and that is to become the world’s most lethal fighting force. Gender affirming care paid for by the taxpayer doesn’t accomplish that. If our time in the armed services taught us anything, it's that.  Articles Cited https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-army-bars-transgender-people-enlisting-trump-executive-action [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-army-bars-transgender-people-enlisting-trump-executive-action] https://msmagazine.com/2023/08/04/trans-gender-affirming-care-surgery-cost/ [https://msmagazine.com/2023/08/04/trans-gender-affirming-care-surgery-cost/] You can find us on Facebook, Rumble and X at The Woman’s Angle.
