Average (whatever that is) Transgender Soldier Unable to Deploy for 238 days
2017-08-25
[Free Beacon] The average transgender soldier will spend 238 days recovering from sex change surgeries and unavailable to deploy, according to an Obama administration study.

The Trump administration's transgender ban places deployability as a determining factor into whether to admit transgender individuals into the military. The White House outlined guidelines to implement the ban within six months in a memo to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The ability to be deployed to war zones or bases around the world is an issue for transgender soldiers who undergo taxpayer-funded sex change operations, according to a study by the RAND Corporation.

#5  I can deploy in about ten seconds. They should get a refund.

#4  And if you are transgendered you should be put in non-deployable status anyway.

They require lots of medical attention and meds after. Hard enough to get supplies to a war zone anyway without taking up room for hormone replacement therapy.

#3  those with sex organ dysmorphia should not get taxpayer-funded sex change ops.

If you want it done, resign and pay for it.

#2  They have no business getting cosmetic surgery on taxpayer's dime.

If they're not sure about their gender, can one count on them to be sure about more complicated things like duty & honor?

#1  They have no business getting cosmetic surgery on taxpayer's dime. Heck, unless it's reconstruction after an injury, NO ONE should get cosmetic surgery while they're in the military.
