In response to President Trump's tweets stating transgender people will not be able to serve "in any capacity in the U.S. Military" due, in part, to the "tremendous medical costs," a former Navy surgeon has vowed to donate her services to transgender military personnel.
Dr. Christine McGinn — a plastic surgeon, veteran and transgender woman — said she would waive the costs of gender confirmation surgery for service members already on her list to undergo the procedure.
"If the commander-in-chief won't take care of our veterans, our veterans will," McGinn told CNN's Michael Smerconish on Saturday.
