Percentage or number of Trannys in the military?

It's enough where it shouldn't be an issue at all. I told one of my friends that I doubted it was in the triple digits, and he told me they just reported that there are 1500 of them, which really shocked me. I would think that would have to be total living trans people in the military, not the number in active duty.

I'm not quite sure where people are getting their numbers. In some threads posters are saying 4,000 based on the 0.3% of the population being trans. But that doesn't makes sense as there are 2.2-2.4 million soldiers on active and reserve duty, which puts the number of trans at 6k-8k. So, the 4K low balls the number of trans people if you do a general population to military comparison--which is really stoopid.

Since it has only been in effect a few months multiply the percentage by the number of people joining in those months.

It's just people who identify as the opposite sex. I don't care that anyone feels that way, just don't give them a special category and privileges.

Trans should not be a box on the check list. You are either male or female. No special berthing/barracks, no special bathrooms, no special medical procedures, no special off time to transition. You can hang out with whoever you want and be as flamboyant as you want, just acknowledge you are what you literally are and will adhere to all facilities and standards that are already established.

Same with age. There are age requirements and restrictions too no matter how old you feel

I understand that.

So the number can't be that high.

I mean I'd be shocked if it were over 1,000

Do you think that the same % enlists?

I doubt it.

And is this canard about paying for surgery a real issue? I doubt it.
If the cost of elective surgery is prohibitive it would make more sense to say you cant have elective surgery using govt medical system.
Otherwise we are losing tens of millions in training invested in that group.
Holy crap, trump just pissed away more money of training than the surgeries (that may not even happen).
What evidence is there that military already paid for ANY such surgeries?

O/U .5

I don't care if the military is 50% tranny and the cost of their operations mean nothing to me in terms of barring them from service. This was the right decision.

Does that seem right?

Those with gender dysphoria probably aren't the type to enlist, and are more likely to have other psychologically disqualifying factors than even the general populace. I very much doubt it is that high, especially given the relatively small timeframe in which they could enlist.

Cost isn't even on my list

Trans people are far less likely to join the military than normal people (well... until Barry made it a free transition grab) so I think it's closer to 1000
