DOD Memo Says Transgender Soldiers on Hormone Therapy Can Skip Deployments

Transgender soldiers receiving hormone therapy may avoid deployment for as many as 300 days, according to a February 2023 Department of Defense memo outlining treatment at the Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) at Fort Liberty.

The memo, first obtained and published by The Dossier, states that most service members “will require up to 300 days to be stabilized on cross-sex hormone therapy, and they will remain in a non-deployable status during that time.”

However, that timeline depends on when the service member is “clinically stabilized.”

The memo also states what other treatments and surgeries transgender troops may receive at WAMC at taxpayers’ expense.

The memo said after 12 months of hormone therapy, transgender service members can request “surgical care,” such as “upper” and “bottom” surgery.

It said transgender service members could also request surgery without first receiving hormone therapy.

Welllllll ... on one hand, those trans whatevers won't be burdening military logistics keeping them supplied with whatever daily hormones and other drugs on which they are dependent. OTOH, I doubt that is the reason for this discriminatory treatment.

Meanwhile, they become parasites, sucking on the taxpayers' teat without providing anything of significant value in return.  They should all be summarily discharged, not coddled and given special privileges.

Yet, their responsibilities will now be transferred to another person in theater...buncha bullshit!

Well, that's one way to cut down on 'blue on blue' incidents.
