The American Medical Association, American Psychological Association, American Academy of Family Physicians and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have issued public statements over the past decade that consistently conclude transition related care is both medically necessary and the appropriate treatment for gender dysphoria.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these conclusive findings, the Trump-Pence administration continues to blatantly challenge surgery as a medically-validated option to treat gender dysphoria, undermining the health of transgender veterans. HRC members and supporters have made it clear that the current prohibition conflicts directly with the best practices for transgender care and is blatantly discriminatory.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">1\/ Hello, this is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HRC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HRC<\/a> Press Secretary Charlotte Clymer (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cmclymer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@cmclymer<\/a>).
