Following a ProPublica investigation, more than two dozen House Democrats are pressing the Trump administration to reverse a new Department of Veterans Affairs policy that makes it harder for male veterans with breast cancer to get health coverage.

@ProPublica
Male breast cancer is more common than penile cancer, and can strike males at any age. A few days ago a radiologist reported a case in a seven-year-old.

This criminal neglect of veterans is based on a mirror-image parody of the imaginary "woke virus" that they rail against - the sexist binary fantasy that men don't have breasts.

Just call it "chest cancer" and maybe they'll start to notice it.
