Veterans transgender policies & services
I just did some online research of the Veterans Affairs policies concerning the LGBTQ community for veterans. I am 100% Disabled by the VA and am eligible for free medical benefits. Even if you are not Disabled you still may be eligible for some benefits. The VA has become very LBGTQ friendly. Right now they are in the process of getting approval to provide Gender Reassignment Surgery. Not all available services are a one size fits all. Every VA Hospital has a LGBTQ Coordinator. I would suggest any veteran interested go to the VA hospital web site serving their area and do some research, THEN call the LGBTQ Coordinator and talk to them about services you may be eligible for. They provide counseling, hormone treatment, MTF and FTM body devices, in some cases top surgery, support groups etc. A few years back I did use the VA counselor. I was very happy with them. The VA system has changed for the good. For my own reasons I have now switched to all civilian medical care. Yes I have very good medical insurance. Hope this information helps some. MODS hope this is in right section. I put it here thinking more exposure. Thanks.
