Military approves first GRS

[DawnOday]

The Pentagon will pay for an active-duty soldier's gender confirmation surgery, which took place Tuesday afternoon, according to a statement sent to multiple news outlets.
The surgery and its approval come months after President Donald Trump signed a memo to ban transgender recruits from serving in the military and cut future funding for gender confirmation surgeries.
The Pentagon said that the service member had the surgery in a private hospital Tuesday afternoon after it was approved by the Pentagon under a waiver that allowed the military to pay for the operation.
According to a statement sent to NBC News and BuzzFeed's Jon Passantino, Pentagon spokeswoman Dana W. White said that the waiver for the surgery was approved because the service member had already begun a "sex-reassignment course of treatment" and the treating doctor said it was "medically necessary."
