The U.S. House of Representatives passed a defense funding bill Wednesday that would prohibit military healthcare plans from covering gender transition procedures for minor relatives of service members.

The Republican-controlled lower chamber passed an amendment to the WILD Act in a 281-140 vote titled the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025.

The measure contains a provision banning the TRICARE Program — "the health care program for uniformed service members, retirees, and their families around the world" — from providing coverage for "medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization" for children under the age of 18.

Well . . . I would not think it is wise for an immature child to make choices which will limit him or her when he or she is older and maybe mature and better able to make good choices.

And I would think you should not make permanent life choices for a child, based on a child's personality problems; because the child can develop and change, later. I would have hope for the person.

Amen. Children are not guinea pigs, they do not need to be experimented on. The LGBT "community" should be ashamed.

I do not know the history of who got the trans surgery on kids started. I might be tempted to blame LGBT, but are they the ones who got it started??

Of course, I would say not all members of LGBT are alike on this matter. Different people can have different ideas.

That’s true. Plenty of homosexuals don’t like the trans movement.
