Comment on Trans troops in US military 'in survival mode' as ban on serving kicks in
realcaseyrollins 3 weeks agoI wanna say the ban doesn't apply to people who can work with those of the same sex and present themselves in a cisgender manner with no problem.
If you're trans but aren't going to make that anybody else's problem, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to serve in the military.

The issue is the hormones. Since it is “life-saving” care, they need it in the field, which isn’t conducive to being deployed. If someone is trans, but doesn’t take hormones, let them stay in.
I also have no issue paying for hormones or surgery when they retire. I do not think trans benefits should be cut for people who have RETIRED from the military. Hell if someone wants a boob job, I have no issues when they retire.

Eh, trans surgeries are more or less self-harm, I'm not a fan of the surgeries being subsidized with government funding at all. I oppose the hormones being subsidized as well but am not sure how that could be legislated properly yet.

If someone serves twenty years and wants to take hormones on the government dime, I have no issue with it.
