Pentagon Reportedly Ending All Gender Wacko Transition Procedures Immediately

I’m not sure why the U.S. military was providing drugs and medical procedures for members in the first place. They didn’t pay for all those 18 year olds to get tattoos of the strippers they married or the car they made a bad decision on, did they? Would the military pay for that leg lengthening procedure? How about for Botox and elective cosmetic surgery for those who were not injured in the line of duty?

Report: Pentagon ‘Immediately’ Halting Gender Transition Procedures for Transgender Troops

The Pentagon is reportedly barring gender transition treatments for so-called “transgender troops,” the news coming after former President Joe Biden (D) allowed such procedures.

According to Reuters, a memo from Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Stephen Ferrara said, “I am directing you to take the necessary steps to immediately implement this guidance,” the outlet reported Monday.

Defense Department officials are apparently halting new hormone treatments and surgical procedures for those individuals.

The outlet also noted that “Trump signed an executive order in January, after returning to the presidency, that reversed a policy implemented under his predecessor Joe Biden that had allowed transgender troops to serve openly.”

It’s not up the US military, meaning the taxpayers, to pay for the surgeries. They could make a case that instead of college tuition the military could provide so much once they get out, but, they’re joining to apparently get the medical treatments, which means they are not doing their jobs. Would someone who hurt their spine as a civilian be allowed to join to have the military pay for the surgeries and rehab? Obviously, no.

Going to that Reuters article

Shannon Minter of the National Center for Lesbian Rights said that the abrupt termination of healthcare was “needlessly disrespectful and cruel.”

“It is shameful that our nation’s military would treat any service member this way,” Minter said.

One transgender service member, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of being targeted, called the decision “the latest slap in the face” to troops serving honorably.

Are they serving honorably? They’re living a lie, transgenders have a much higher rate of mental illness and suicidal thoughts (just who you want around military grade weapons, right?), and spend their time unable to do the job. They can go be civilians and pay for their own procedures. Mutilating your body is not healthcare.

“If there was any doubt left, there is not anymore: transgender service members are no longer entitled to the same standard of medical care as their peers,” the service member said.

They can get the same. What they want is more.

Re-posting an article that said the Pentagon would resume treatments for transgender troops, Hegseth said: “If this is true – we will find any way possible to stop it.”

“Taxpayers should NEVER pay for this lunacy,” Hegseth added.

They shouldn’t. And no one seems to be making a rational argument as to why the taxpayers should foot the bill.
