, or about 0.02 percent of the Pentagon's health care budget, according to data from the Defense Department.The idea that trans people's care costs more singled them out"as a special class" for no reason, Fram said. Cisgender service members could get access to hormone therapy for medical reasons if necessary, but transgender service members who came out after the ban couldn't."It was the singling out for special treatment that really had no rationale," Fram said.
Guevarra, who was serving openly before the ban, said that her command was very supportive but that she experienced more hostility from some of her peers after Trump announced the ban on Twitter. She said that in 2017, while they were training in Hawaii, some other service members said it would be a"security threat" for her to use the women's bathroom.
"As for affecting cohesion, my peers, seniors, everybody are also upset that I'm not allowed to transition," Sgt. Liam Aguirre, a physical therapy technician based at Fort Carson, Colorado, said about his unit's sentiment before the ban was lifted. Fram came out June 30, 2016, the same day the Obama administration announced that it would permit transgender people to serve openly in the military. Fram said that shortly after the announcement, she came out in a Facebook post and in an email to her colleagues.

NBCOUT As long as the military isn't on the hook for hormone treatment or reassignment surgery... oh wait.
NBCOUT If u can meet the standards, who give AF, if ur a man who wears a dress or a woman who identifies as a man ? The standards, thats the only thing that should count!
NBCOUT Yes the government shouldnt be paying for a soldier's sexual reassignment surgery, but trans soilders should still be allowed to serve, without discrimination. That much is certain.
NBCOUT If you are willing to fight for your country, any gender.... fair play to you, you rock!

NBCOUT I’m glad. Anyone who wants to serve this country should be able to do so w/o biases like gender identity or orientation. We need these patriotic people in our military defending our country and democracy
