Transgender troops warn GOP bill could upend lives, weaken military

My comment, "Those that enter the military and then want to make the physical change does not have redeeming factors for the unit they serve. A year of visits prior to surgery with a psychologist, meds prior to surgery, and then for life after surgery, the approximate cost for surgery are estimated at $140,450 to transition from male to female, and $124,400 to transition from female to male. During this time the individual would not be deployable for medical reasons. While they process they are a head count that is lost to their unit and others will have to pick up the slack. Filling the ranks with men and women that want to transition at the expense of the military and combat readiness is not an answer but has been the answer from the Biden administration.
