Taxpayer-funded sex-change surgeries would cost the Pentagon $1.3 billion over 10 years.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that transgender individuals will not be eligible to serve in the military, with the White House citing cost and military readiness concerns.
Internal data provided to the Washington Free Beacon from Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R., Mo.), a leading opponent of taxpayer-funded sex changes, show that even by using a conservative estimate, the costs associated with 0.7 percent of the military population is great.
Hartzler's office provided a detailed calculation that shows estimates of the current number of transgender service members, and the number likely to seek a taxpayer-funded gender transition.
"The 10-year cost estimate is for surgery only and is adjusted for 3 percent inflation; it accounts for Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve members currently serving as well as new recruits over the same time period," the document states. "It uses the FY 18 DoD number for total number of military members and multiplies it by the percentage of military personnel assumed to be transgender as reported by the UCLA Williams Institute and the National Center for Transgender Equality."
The 2014 Williams Institute study found there were 15,500 transgender individuals actively serving, or 0.7 percent of the military population. By adjusting the figure for the enlistment numbers of 2,130,000, there are currently 14,910 transgender service members.
Thirty percent will likely seek surgeries, or 4,473 transgender troops. The average cost per surgery is $132,000, which is a combination of the average cost of male to female ($140,450) and female to male ($124,400) surgeries.

Actually I was only guessing but since writing that I read that the trannies doing hormone therapy don’t work full duty nor are they deployed...that’s BEFORE the operation...
that means all those trannies in the military right now who presumably started their regime of hormones right after entering or were already prescribed some before they enlisted have a job description that states something about light duty, no more than 4 hours a day...
and none of them are in Iraq or Afghanistan...
No SEAL Team members...
oh yes they are IN the military but not part OF it...
and they all get promoted on time ...
They actually are joining the military for the operations and hormones. Unintended consequences, Obama? I mean, I know you don’t care.
The list of nations known to allow transgender people to serve in the military comprises Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the U.K. Some other countries, such as Cuba and Thailand, reportedly allow transgender service in a limited capacity.I

Money is the least important cost to the military. It just happens to be the easiest to quantify.
PING
How does it make sense for the Pentagon budget to take on this $1.3 billion cost while at the same time it is looking at requiring retirees and military families to pay more for their medical care, both in an annual fee, increased copays and increased prescription costs. The justification for those increases is that military healthcare is too expensive so how can they justify an additional $1.3 billion cost for what is essentially an elective surgery and medical procedure (s).
Savage mentioned a couple of other things...the trannie would have ongoing “group” and counseling...maybe daily...from the start of their program and regime of hormone therapy which would keep them out of regular duty...
the trannie goes to the front of the line in front combat veterans for medical care...
FOOLPROOF GENDER IDENTITY and LAVATORY QUALIFICATION TEST!
Designed for those unfortunate individuals still confused as to their gender,
this simple test will assist with that vital, possibly life-changing decision.
Can be performed at home in any climate.
THE TEST!
If there were snow on the ground and you stepped outside,
COULD YOU WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE SNOW?
If you are capable of performing this intricate feat, UNIQUE TO MALES, or even come close,
PLEASE USE PUBLIC FACILITIES LABELED MEN.
If, however, you cannot even attempt this remarkable feat, and normally SIT or SQUAT while urinating, PLEASE USE THE FACILITIES DESIGNATED LADIES or WOMEN.
THANK YOU!

This problem may even extend to the animal kingdom.
When deer hunting season opens, I have a question. If I bag a buck, but I only have a doe tag, can I claim that the buck wasnt really a buck?
I mean maybe hed always wanted to be a doe, but with no choice of his own he was born with the physical attributes of a male.
And yet on the inside hed always known he was truly a female.
Im just wondering if the game warden will buy it, because society and the Supreme Court does.
