Again no consult with the leaders of the troops they command. No pentagon call no 3 generals and an admiral --- nothing. Cut blank kill all those careers. So what's next ? No trans in the fed govt?? Disgusting move
No Free plastic surgery for anyone (unless it's from combat wounds and only that part of the body) and no viagra. Get rid of the expensive burdens. I am all for that.
Nope Not a problem. For your information, transgender people are entitled to those benefits as well. Don't even try to compare apples or oranges. Those benefits you listed (GI bill, VA home loans) are open to ALL veterans.
but I do have a problem with the military paying for NON-service related treatment and surgery.
Not sure why this is such a foreign concept for you to understand.
You conveniently ignore the fact that Tricare doesn't pay for transition surgery.
Yet, if they did, are you asserting other service members aren't eligible for medically necessary procedures?
Less than 3/10 of one percent of the population likes to play pretend and "identify" as a different sex. I think the country can be defended adequately without them.
I am not comparing a mental illness to civil rights. They are not similar and can't be compared. I'm drawing a causation between fear of change and making silly excuses.
I think you're confusing "civil rights" with race.

I'd be willing to bet that most treatment done by the military for the military is non-service related. Military personnel get sick and injured (in non-service activities) just like the rest of us. Having a baby, for ex, is not service related by any stretch.

well
a medical retirement is issued when a medical condition is severe enough to interfere with the proper performance of your military duties.
So if their condition is severe enough to interfere with the proper performance of military duties, they WILL BE and SHOULD BE processed out.
Chronic condition that is severe enough to interfere with the proper performance.. is where they draw the line.
If the transgender has no such an issue, he/she can stay. Like I said, case by case.
