From the article: "Clinicians say the policy does not just cut off lifesaving health care — it signals to transgender veterans that they are no longer safe or welcome in a system designed to care for them.

"Since the March directive, VA staff say they’ve been ordered to remove Pride flags and other LGBTQ-inclusive signage from hospitals, delete pronouns from staff bios, and report colleagues for using words like “transgender” or “LGBTQ+” in official communications."

From the article: "Jo Ellis, the transgender Army Black Hawk pilot falsely said to be flying the helicopter that collided with a passenger plane over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., in January, is suing one of the right-wing commentators who made the allegation.

"Ellis filed a defamation suit against Matthew S. Wallace Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Colorado. She is represented by Meg Phelan, legal counsel with the Equality Legal Action Fund.

“I had a unique opportunity to hold someone accountable,” Ellis tells The Advocate."
