As a founder and Past President of the Transgender American Veterans Association, TAVA, in 2003, please understand that:

1. In 2020 the Democrat Platform was revised to include that “all prescribed healthcare will be provided for Transgender Veterans, with no exclusions.”

2. TAVA has an active lawsuit against the VA, to provide and support Gender Corrective Surgery for all Transgender Veterans. This lawsuit was filed on the basis of a statement made by the Director of the VA three years ago. The parameters of the service, the costs involved and many details about its implementation, have already been reviewed by the VA. The justification for this service is that it dramatically decreases the number of military suicides and that GCS is the only prescribed and affective treatment that reduces or illuminates gender dysphoria.

3. Any attempt by Democrat legislators to reverse or eliminate this promise by the VA and Democrats to provide “all prescribed healthcare” to Transgender Veterans, departs from the Democrat Party Platform, implies that the lives of Transgender Veterans and their service are not equal to all l other Veterans and Active Duty people in the military, and that attempts to reduce all military connected suicide rates is not of concern to them.

4. Democrat legislators who ignore the lives of all Veterans is discriminatory, exclusionary and specifically is throwing Transgender people under the bus.

I absolutely hate that our only options are to vote for the continued slow walking of Project 2025 or fast tracking it. I feel absolutely sick and hopeless. For a few years I’ve just been hoping my trans teen would live past HS graduation, but at this point I don’t even know if they’ll survive long enough to get to graduate in 2029. 😭
