From the article: "The overall health and well-being of transgender veterans will be harmed by erasing transgender people from official federal policy, veterans and experts told Military.com.
"While the Department of Veterans Affairs has not publicly announced any formal guidance on how it will implement President Donald Trump's order to eliminate all federal policies that are supportive of transgender people, gender identities are already being scrubbed from patient records, a source familiar with the situation told Military.com.
"Altering medical records, as well as other moves to make VA facilities less welcoming to transgender people, will have ripple effects on health care far beyond just whether those veterans can receive treatments such as hormone therapy, advocates and experts are warning."
