If you read the news out there, all veterans are either homeless, crazed killers or transgender wannabes – or a combination of the three. But, according to the Daily Mail<\/a> there’s this fellow by the name of Mallon who coerced the Medicare system into rearranging his appearance so that he looks like a woman now;<\/p>\n

[Unknown first name] Mallon, 75, of Albuquerque, New Mexico waged a long and difficult battle against the government insurance program, and claimed victory when a U.S. health and human services board ruled back in May that Medicare could no longer deny the service, which they deemed medically necessary for transgender individuals.<\/p>\n

And now, Mallon says [he] finally ‘feels complete’ following the procedure.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, the National Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorders lists it as Gender Identity Disorder<\/a> – it is a mental disorder and there’s no recommendation in the manual for cosmetic elective surgery. If the guy wants to pay for the surgery himself, that’s Jim Dandy – but not on the taxpayers’ dime.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking that my idea of a “long and difficult battle” might differ somewhat from the Mail’s definition. Sorry, no pictures for this one – it’s just too disturbing to see a 75-year-old man who thinks he’s fooling everyone. You’ll have to go over to the link. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
