    Anybody using the VA (Veterans Administration health program) for their gender therapy? I'm currently seeing a doc there (Denver VA) for unrelated issues but have heard in the news that they are opening up a clinic in Ohio for trans* veterans.

    I know they provide hormone therapy, counseling, etc but do not do SRS, FFS, or top surgery for MtFs. See http://transveteran.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/VA-Directive-2013-003.pdf for the VA directive outlining what they do & do not provide.

    Just curious if anybody had experiences getting care...

    Thanks!
