Pentagon will pay for transgender soldier's reassignment surgery

The Pentagon confirmed Tuesday that it will pay for a soldier’s gender reassignment surgery for the first time, according to multiple reports.

Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement shared by a BuzzFeed News reporter that an active-duty military member received sex-reassignment surgery Tuesday in a private hospital.

“Because this service member had already begun a sex-reassignment course of treatment, and the treating doctor deemed this surgery medically necessary, a waiver was approved by the director of the Defense Health Agency,” White said. “The Supplemental Health Care Program will cover this surgery in accordance with the Department’s interim guidance on transgender Service members.”

NBC News, which reported the story earlier on Tuesday, said the service member is an infantry officer who identifies as female.

In August, President Trump signed a memo to bar transgender people from enlisting in the military, and to stop the military from paying for gender-reassignment surgery. He originally called for the ban on transgender troops in a series of tweets in July. A federal court partially blocked the ban last month, including the prohibition on using funds for gender reassignment surgery.

So why did this individual join the military? For the sole purpose of getting a free cut job? Our military’s first and only job is to fight, break things and Win a War. Not change some individual who thinks they are smarter than God about what He made them. Good Grief!!! We need money for other things than to cut away or add something to someone who thinks they were born a mistake. GADS!!!

*** re-ASSIGNMENT????? ***

Who ASSIGNED these “people” to mutilate their given bodies??? Another government/politician weasel-word to cover up self-inflicted perversion. “Normal perverts” are thrown out of the military.

Remind me again, who is the Commander-in-Chief?

The Pentagon is NOT paying for that surgery.

WE ARE PAYING FOR THAT SURGERY. IT’S OUR TAX DOLLARS.

Our vile politicians are allocating our money to vile bureaucrats who are spending our money like drunken sailors.

If I expressed my thoughts on this case I'd be permanently banned.

So I won't.

Amen! The judicial branch has nothing to do with the executive branch and the Commander in Chief...supposedly.

What kind of doctor thinks that a sex-change operation is “medically necessary”? If he belongs to the military, he should be discharged.

The mentally ill are no longer treated, they are encouraged.

Just think, your son or daughter will be commanded by such a mentally ill person. Their lives and careers are in their hands.

I would NEVER suggest anyone join the military where they have no choice but to be subjected to such mental illness at great risk to themselves.
