The Pentagon has spent $15 million in the past five years to treat 1,892 transgender troops, including $11.5 million for psychotherapy and $3.1 million for surgeries, according to Defense Department data provided to Military.com
Of the 243 gender reassignment surgeries performed on military personnel since 2016, 50 took place between Jan. 1, 2016 and Dec. 31, 2017, and 193 occurred from Jan. 1, 2018 to Dec. 31, 2019 -- the two years after President Donald Trump announced via Twitter that he would bar transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military.
According to the Defense Health Agency, the surgeries were performed in military health facilities and included removal of breasts or testicles, hysterectomies and labiaplasty -- creation of or reshaping the flesh around a vagina.
The total number of transgender persons serving in the armed forces across all three components -- active-duty, Reserve and National Guard -- is not known as not all likely have sought treatment.
But as of May, 1,892 military personnel have been diagnosed and treated for gender dysphoria, including 726 Army soldiers, 576 Navy sailors, 449 Air Force airmen and 141 Marines, according to DHA spokesman Peter Graves.

This was going on during the Trump presidency?
DoD budgets are built two to three years in advance. Once money is enacted, it can’t be used for a different purpose without congressional approval. So this would have started under Obama.
Don’t ask don’t tell turned into
I’m gay you’ll pay.
Not just character. I remember being made to duck-walk in the physical. They were looking to weed out people that were going to end up needing surgery, and people that might be joining to get free surgery. Now, they recruit them.
We are producing the finest military Sodom could want.
Complete with testicles removal.
And all this time I thought they were just after a little sadistic humor. hahaha
If they need psychotherapy as the consequence of elective surgery, imagine what it will take to straighten them out when they have to wipe the brain matter off their face from the person they’ve just shot.
and when these individuals realize they’re not the other sex after all, they’ll sue the VA for full disability, since the surgery was done on-base, and we’ll pay for their lifestyles the rest of our taxpaying lives.
Surgery done on base? They’ve got military physicians who can build lady parts?
Ping.
“A hot war with 10,000 dead in the first month will end all gay/transgender nonsense immediately, at least in the military.”
I imagine a lot of them would desert or in some other way become “combat ineffective.”
$15 million could fund a lot of training in the field, sayeth the Old S-3!
This number does NOT include the cost of sending other soldiers into war zones as ‘trans’ have to be close to their doctors for two years.
This means everything they’re paid should be included in the costs... Basically they’re patients... ask a nursing home how much they charge a month... that would be closer to the true number.
“life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”
It was originally supposed to be “life, liberty and property”, but Thomas Jefferson changed it.
Now you cannot own Property unless you pay Taxes on it.
We are all Renters, not true Landowners.
What a ridiculous thing for a military to be doing
Vets can try and change their sex but cannot get their teeth fixed
