If there really are 163,000 trans veterans we are finished.
“The campaigners say they are ‘essential and lifesaving medical care’ for a suicide-prone group that suffers from high rates of depression and psychological distress.”
That was my thought as well. I would like to know what orifice they pulled that number out of.
I know the military has serious problems, but if that number were correct then the problems are far more serious than I ever thought they could be.
These preverts want others to pay for their mad obsessions.
If there really are 163,000 trans veterans we are finished.

My thoughts exactly. Either this number is complete hogwash or US/Western culture is so !@#$ed up that looking for another country to immigrate to is now more critical than ever.
They’ll get it. Libfreaks always get what they demand in today’s dystopia.
Translation: There are 163,000 veterans with serious mental health problems and we are asking the taxpayer to help mutilate them and provide a major payday for the Dr. Frankensteins who perform these procedures.
journalism in clown world.
Yep.
Gender dysphoria is a known mental disorder........checkout the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders, volume 5.
Gender dysphoria is part of a larger class of mental disorders called body dysmorphic disorders, which are classified by disordered (dys-) thinking about one’s body (-morph).
Bulimia and anorexia nervosa are two of the better known body dysmorphic disorders.
So why do people think we should treat gender dysphoria by affirming the disordered thinking?
<><>We don’t treat depression by affirming the disordered thinking.
<><>We don’t treat anxiety by affirming the disordered thinking.
<><>If we treated anorexia and bulimia by affirming disordered thinking, people would literally die.
So why is gender dysphoria the one mental disorder that we treat by affirming a certain set of thoughts which we already know are disordered?
Why is that the one mental disorder where we assume the disordered thoughts tell you deep truths about yourself, rather than correctly identifying them as flawed and treating the disorder?
People with sexual identity disorders deserve compassion
and counseling, but certainly NOT OUR INDULGENCE.
Humoring and validating aberrant sexual fantasies is NOT “helping” them.
And giving trans people special social status and privileges is not the way to go.
The Left is exploiting these unfortunate individuals for purely political purposes –
and to create another “victim group” to pander to.
This exploitation of people with mental disorders is as despicable as it is depraved.
