2024-01-31 TAVA Sues VA

Jonny and Heather discuss the Trangender American Veterans
Association's law suit brought against the Department of Veteran
Affairs to get them to respond to a petition to have the VA include
surgical gender confirmation therapies in VA insurance coverage of
transgender veterans. Heather serves on the board of TAVA and uses
her own experience as a transgender veteran to explain the suit and
what led up to it. In the back half of the show, Jonny and Heather
discuss their disappointment in Maine abandoning its bid to be a
transgender sanctuary state and in breaking news about new
anti-trans policy in Florida. They leave on an upbeat note, showing
the connection between Trump's $83.3 legal fine in the Carroll
defamation case and a lawyer significantly responsible for Marriage
Equality.
