With at least 15 states enacting or considering bans on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, the U.S. Air Force is offering medical, legal, and relocation assistance to service members whose families have been harmed by such laws, reports LGBTQ Nation.
“Various laws and legislation are being proposed and passed in states across America that may affect LGBTQ Airmen, Guardians, and/or their LGBTQ dependents in different ways,” the Air Force wrote in a recent press release.
The release stated that the Air Force is offering service members and their families screening, treatment and mental health support for any medical concerns.
Also, if they live in states where it’s illegal for trans youth to get medical care, “Commanders can work to get the service member to an assignment where their loved ones can receive the care they need,” Air Force Under Secretary Gina Ortiz Jones wrote.
