The Pentagon confirmed Tuesday that it will pay for a soldiers 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 Departments 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.
Name, rank and serial number of every person involved in this decision.
I hereby renig my consent and demand a refund of my portion of tax money spent on this birth defect.
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?
Lorena Bobbit for Secretary of the Army!
I am sick over this!
You can’t do surgery on a MENTAL DISORDER!
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.
So I won't.
Amen! The judicial branch has nothing to do with the executive branch and the Commander in Chief...supposedly.
Twinkle Toes Mattis once again hiding under his desk when a real decision needs to be made.
What kind of doctor thinks that a sex-change operation is “medically necessary”? If he belongs to the military, he should be discharged.
Why havent the homo loving leftists been purged from the pentagon, yet??
How long does it take??
Lets git er done, folks!
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.
C*nts.
