WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon will immediately begin moving as many as 1,000 openly identifying transgender service members out of the military and give others 30 days to self-identify under a new directive issued Thursday.

Officials have said that as of Dec. 9, 2024, there were 4,240 troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria in the active duty, National Guard and Reserve. But they acknowledge the number may be higher.
There are about 2.1 million total troops serving.

The Supreme Court ruled that the administration could enforce the ban on transgender people in the military, while other legal challenges proceed. The court’s three liberal justices said they would have kept the policy on hold.

While it may be difficult to see which troops have changed their gender identity in their military records, it will be easier to determine who has gotten a gender dysphoria diagnosis because that will be part of their medical record, as will any medication they are taking.
Between 2015 and 2024, the total cost for psychotherapy, gender-affirming hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgery and other treatment for service members is about $52 million, according to a defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel issues.

People are using the military for the drugs and surgery. Very few actually serve due to the process and time it takes.
The horror, the horror.
I read a story done on a guy who discussed how he was going to enlist and then announce he is trans. After going through the psychological part and the hormone therapy, then surgery, then recovery, then pain medication - then BOOM, enlistment is over. The time to transition was close to the entire time he had to serve.
Then he was crying because he said he wouldn’t be able to get his surgery paid for because President Trump (his first term) was going to prevent trans from joining.
Have they applied for Chef(s) at Obama’s house yet?
Just joking. 😀🤣🤪 Or am I?

(for the thread)
UUU-TEN-CHUN. Ladies or gentlemen. Secure your butt plugs and feathery things.
There are (were) that many freaks in our armed forces???
🤦🏻♀️
Are they going to receive compensation or disability for the rest of their lives, and VA care, to continue the trannie ruse at taxpayers expense?

The 8 Types of Military Discharge
Honorable Discharge
General Discharge
Entry-Level Separation
Medical Discharge
Other Than Honorable Discharge
Bad Conduct Discharge
Dishonorable Discharge
Dismissal (Officer Discharge)
When you exit the military, you receive a military discharge that denotes the circumstances of your military separation in your military record. While an honorable discharge is common, there are other types of military discharge, like general discharge and bad conduct discharge, that could affect your ability to receive VA benefits.
Since your military service discharge goes on your permanent military records, it’s not likely that a veteran can receive a military discharge upgrade. This process requires a discharge review within 15 years from the discharge, and a veteran must show proper evidence of a mishandled discharge to result in changes.
gender dysphoria
noun
1. A persistent unease with having the physical characteristics of one’s gender, accompanied by strong identification with the opposite gender and a desire to live as or to become a member of the opposite gender.
2. A profound and persistent unhappiness related to one’s physical sex.
3. Those guys are faaags!
It sounds like a pre-existing condition. Insurance companies do not normally cover pre-existing conditions. 52 million bucks for 4,000 people who just don’t fit in with society or life in general.
Why? Because Transgender people DON’T EXIST!
THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
STOP PRETENDING THAT THERE IS!
THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST SICK!
Get them OUT of the military and into mental health treatment. STOP coddling these CRACKPOTS!
Bfl
I can’t wrap my head around having 4,240 TRANSGENDER MENTAL FREAKS in our MILITARY!!!
Praise God!
Even though this is just a start to get back to sanity (women in combat is next) it is a good start.
Yeah, I'm shocked too.
They flooded in to make a statement under Obama and Biden. Once ensconced, they could pretend to be hurt by policy going back to the prior enduring, common-sense standards.
Despite the movies, the presence of women causes fracturing of unit cohesion, a limiting factor in unit capabilities, and a fatal distraction.
Combat is organized murder, as it should be and always has been. It's a man's job.
