I applied to the VA for nursing, I am a vet w/disability, plus previous experience at the VA and yet didn't get hired, why? My husband pointed at one of their "come work here" posters at the entrance, it showed a black woman and a trans "female" and said because I wasn't one of them.

Gross! I wouldn’t trust a “trans” caregiver to know anything about medical science. That just seems obvious!

I agree, if they are showing their mental issues and demanding that everyone acknowledge it, which is against my beliefs, no thanks! Thats why I am not pursuing a job, I am not putting in another application and technically I could sue for reverse discrimination because with the 10-point hiring advantage plus vet plus previous experience, I should have had the job, as "desperate they are for nurses" as I hear they are. I am already in a govt position as a nurse in a prison, it does NOT take an act of congress to get me to be moved from one spot to the other! But if I have to work alongside and acknowledge or "accept" them for who they are when they don't even know who they are, no thanks, nor do I want them treating me either!

Twenty years ago, I would have trusted a "trans" caregiver. It was a difficult life for them back then. Now it's the latest fad. Unlike most fads, this one is dangerous.

The VA ran much better under Trump.
