The president of the Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA), Monica Helms, has released another video regarding transgender veterans -- this one about a waited for regulatory policy from the Veterans Administration (VA) and the Obama Administration on the medical treatment of eligible, disabled transgender veterans at VA medical facilities. Many transgender veterans are aware that the proposed regulatory policy -- a policy that will functionally create a standard of care for disabled transgender veterans -- has been in the pipeline for approval for over a year.
A transcript of the video:
