Don't panic, everyone is offering an opinion and some are offering expert advice although no one is, an expert that is. No question Trump has flushed all transgender out of the active military. I'm not sure if he and his friends in power are going after the veterans now. II seems no one else has a clue either. Before all trans vets who were receiving medical support were embedded in the system nothing would change until now. Before I do a Debbie Downer on all vets, keep in mind every VA center does things differently in how they accept and treat vets.
Part of the new regulations, the VA will keep treating every "protected class" as before. Transgender is or isn't a protected class as the courts and the Supreme Court has been ambiguous depending on whether the majority is on their period of the month. I'm including the whole nine justices in the blanket application. When did "protected class" slip in the rules of treating veterans? It wasn't there when one of those hellacious wars was going on No one said "You can't get shot or die because you aren't one of the protected class."
Here is is and it seems everyone has an opinion besides Trump's minions who are claiming it's not what it says.

Emailed my psychiatrist, we have met many times over the years. Wanted her to know last week the VA canceled any and all hormones. DeJa Vue as Amarillo VA did this to me six years earlier it's why I switched to OKC VA. I informed her I could come to the VA and remove all doubt what gender I am. The follow email was sent to her. Follows was her response. I've removed the names.
Dr....
It seems the question has arisen again if I am a female?
Next meeting I could show up in a bikini. Or I have an aqua blue mandarin dress which leaves nothing to the imagination. Although I no longer have your figure to accent it. Need to lose ten pounds. Or I have a black satin jumpsuit while hiding nothing emphasizes everything. Only one problem, I can no longer wear the five inch stiletto heels I own. I need wide now. What I'm finding I wouldn't wear to a tractor pull, much less dress to impress.
Her response:
Barbie Jean, you are a hoot. I love the ways you think about complying but doing so in a way that causes eyebrows to raise. You are welcome here in whatever form (but keep the essential parts covered ). Let me know if you continue to get delays on your prescriptions. I've been assured by the attending docs in Endo that nothing should change for patients already on HRT.

So far the VA has canceled all hormones. They took a blood test last visit which was a first in the past six years, and claim my hormones are too high. They have to be using the WAPATH recommended levels which are forty years out of date. It's not a biggie. My private physician took blood tests the same day. His practice is LGBT. He's a lot more up to date. I want to compare his tests with the VA tests when I get everything back.
Would I really wear my blue bikini into the VA hospital? No as it would be gross, out of place, and offensive to most. I wish to present professional not the tabloids or fear mongering MSM headlines. Don't get too excited about what Trump and his minions are doing. Let's ride this one out, keeping in mind every Doctor, every Hospital, every VA, every judge, every individual has their own opinion if transgender is or isn't a true class of humanity. We are, and we have been given this special blessing by the highest authority. My self, I didn't want it, I've begged, prayed for God to take it back "all" my life. It's certainly been challenging and interesting.
Always

John 15:18 and remember they chose a thief instead of Jesus. In two thousand years we haven't learned anything. I'm in the bestest company.
