he Senate voted on Wednesday to pass the $895 billion Defense Authorization Bill,
despite a provision on transgender care that caused concern
among some Democrats, sending it to President Biden’s desk for final approval.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was approved 85 to 14 by senators,
surpassing the 60 votes needed in the 100-member chamber. The bill moved
forward even with the inclusion of a controversial measure that would ban
certain gender-affirming care for transgender children of service members, The Hill reported.
