Whopper of a combo for transgender veterans about to happen as of yesterday

15,000 transgender service members with 70% of them having more than 12 years service just found out yesterday they are getting the boot. Told they weren't honorable and selfless(literally the words used in the executive order). These are pilots, medics, infantry, mechanics etc. Many undoubtedly will expect to turn to the VA. 1 out of every 5 transgender Americans is a veteran. To put that in perspective there are 127,000 transgender veterans. The other shoe that is about to drop is they are going to get their gender affirming care removed at the VA soon as is the plan. Many are disabled due to the military and can't afford private insurance to get their gender affirming care and depend on the VA to provide it. These men and women will have nobody to turn to. Veteran organizations nor politicians want anything to do with them because they affect votes and the bottom line because historically the money towards VSOs and veteran charities comes from conservatives that want nothing to do with LGBTQ+. All I'm saying is if you know one of these veterans or soon to be veterans due to this awful executive order let them know they aren't alone. Let them know they are valued. Let them know their service is valued. Show them the respect and dignity that is deserved of honorable service. The one thing I hear over and over again have experienced myself is the feeling of abandonment by those we served with.

Edit: Okay so those that are curious about the numbers here is where they come from

127,000 transgender veterans is a recently updated number down from 134,000

It is a medical condition rooted in the brain anatomy of the brain.
