[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transgender people join the military to get free sex re-assignment surgery.  It costs tax payers a couple million a year, but better than botching their bodies in Thailand.[/quote]
The military pays 5 times as much on viagra then on gender reassignment surgery. [/quote]

Why do people keep saying that as if it's meaningful?
How much is spent for the average soldier with ED?
How much is spent for the average transgender soldier?

If I can demonstrate that ADHD is less expensive to treat than transgender...ism? or ED, will that suddenly convince everyone that people who are treating their ADHD should be allowed to serve?[/quote]

I'm not sure why it keeps getting mentioned either unless the poster somehow thinks Viagra and ED are funny in some juvenile way. The military also recently started covering breast pumps, which brought them out of the dinosaur age. Yes, the military provides medical coverage. I'm not sure what that has to do with the Trans discussion, except that an incredibly arduous and expensive surgery may be elected by some trans service members in which case the question has been whether the military would cover the cost. I believe this was holding up the defense authorization bill and this tweet was Trumps attempt to cut through the swathe and simplify things. I personal have zero issue with trans serving as their current sex and to uniform standards, and doing what they want on private time. Transformation on the governments dime does not seem like a great deal for taxpayers however. And if we acknowledge that service members can do sexually/and gender on their private time - lets stop prosecuting them for adultery shall we? How many heterosexualservice members have been prosecuted, stripped of rank, dishonorably discharged for what they do in their "private lives"? I'm guessing with gay marriage we will see some adultery and prosecution there as well?[/quote]
