It sounds truthy enough, but there’s nothing to validate it. It’s equally possible (or rather I’m almost certain) that this is Russian propaganda designed to split the USA even more. I wouldn’t pay much attention to this right now.

Yep. After this I’m wondering which of my VA benefits will actually remain. I’ve lost my confidence that the VA will provide me anything. I can’t go to them for anything with regards to Gender Dysphoria, and I really don’t know what I can do. No way I’ll be able to get any VA disability (TBH I don’t have a great case for that anyways) but now I can’t trust my government at all now. I’m hoping that they’ll still accept DEI for veterans, especially since apparently we’re supposed to be good in society, but I still don’t have any confidence.
