RE: Transgender individuals serving face uncertainty
The downside is the expenses for them are a lot higher than a normal troop. There is also the cost of accommodating those needs into the rest of the army, like their hormone pills.
Yeah I really didn't even think of that. But I would have to look at the amount of money the government would actually have to spend on that. I don't think there is a large population of trans people in the military. Then you would have to look at the benefits of having more fighters compared to spending a few bucks here and there on medication.
Ya they would basically raise Military health system costs by about 3 times to about 8.4 million dollars. It really isn't that much money but the point is that its 3 times the normal amount. It really sucks that there can't be a healthy medium here though, maybe let in a certain amount of soldiers?
