The American Medical Association isn't usually seen as a paragon of progressivisim, let alone a left-wing hotbed.
So it's particularly noteworthy when they make pronouncements like this:
RESOLVED. That our American Medical Association affirm that there is no medically valid reason to exclude transgender issues from service in the US Military
Wait--there's more:
and be it further RESOLVED. That our AMA affirm that transgender service members be provided care as determined by patient and physician according to the same medical standards that apply to non-transgender persons.
That statement came at the end of a resolution drafted at their annual meeting in Chicago this past weekend. There, four former US Surgeon Generals--Drs. Joycelyn Elders, David Satcher, Regina Benjamin and Kenneth Moritsugo--issued a statement urging the AMA to take a stand.
The resolution stating that there's no medically valid reason to exclude transgenders from military service was unanimously approved by the AMA's policy-making House of Delegates.
As I've said in earlier posts, the bigots, haters and other ignorant people are running out of excuses!
