I came across this article and was pretty shocked. Tax payers are being forced to pay for gender reassignment surgeries on transgender people in the military plus pay for therapy and other associated costs? Wow!

My thoughts? Maybe the Family Research Councis might not be the best news source on this.



But even so...so what? Military spent a lot more having me join up. I had kids! Added more to their bill then a trans person.

My thoughts are to kick them out of the military and let them get their own surgeries and therapies. What in the hell does the military have to do with this? More liberal BS that is ruining the nation.

I read your title wrong. I thought they were setting up a Spec Ops team of transgenders.

Insane.

I think the first time the US military footed the bill was two years ago.

Now it's getting worse.

Aiding and abetting mental illness. The whole thing is ridiculous and to throw money at it is the height of stupidity.

That was kinda the way I took the title too, so I just had to read it. Normally I might have just skimmed over the title and said, "Bleh." I did learn from the article that "special operations" has more than one meaning. Whooda thunk?

Lawsuits against military in the future for contributing to trans mental illness by paying for their mutilation.
