Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk

Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk
In the weeks surrounding President Trump’s inauguration, America’s propaganda press relentlessly cited leftist claims that 15,000 trans-identifying individuals would be booted from the military under the new commander-in-chief. The insinuation, of course, was that such a move would harm “military readiness” and the country’s national security.
But as it turns out, there is still no evidence the 15,000 figure parroted by so-called “journalists” is even remotely viable.
Following a victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, the Pentagon announced last week that it has resumed the process of removing individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria from the service. The agency disclosed in a press release that approximately 1,000 service members “who have self-identified as being diagnosed with gender dysphoria will begin the voluntary separation process.”

Still a pretty insane number.

Is there anything the media didn’t lie about during Biden’s term?

This is the problem. This says "self-identified." Sounds like its not very official, are there records for these people to prove these numbers?

There are like 1.3 million active duty service personnel. This is roughly 0.08% of the total active duty personnel.

Debunked!

Yea, I'm not saying it's going to hurt the military to cut them. It seems insane to have 1,000 trannys in the first place.

Where does The Federalist get that 15,000 number from, specifically? I don’t recall hearing that number from the media or any Democratic politician.
Somebody, somewhere may have proposed that number, but if so, it probably was a very rough guesstimate… who knows…

999 of those joined strictly to get the US taxpayer to pay for the process.

Maybe it's first step... 2nd step being flagging hormone dependence?
I may be wrong, but "feeling" trans isn't the problem, they are trying to weed the medical/surgical, norm defying types.

In a statement to The Federalist, a Defense Department official said that, as of February, there are “approximately 4,200 Active-duty, Guard and Reserve service members currently serving diagnosed with gender dysphoria” throughout the armed forces. The total is roughly the same that was announced by the agency in February.
Looks like 4200 might be the real number?
Where did the 15K claim come from?
I'd imagine the majority of those that claim to be dealing with gender dysphoria are tomboys and not a bunch of dudes cosplaying as women. That's just a guess though. Military service doesn't seem to be very appealing to "trans women" if I had to guess, but what the hell do I know?

Always question whatever numbers the media throws out there.
Posted on 5/14/25 at 10:04 am to nes2010
I'm not sure it's that high.

It’s a fraudulent enlistment and insurance fraud and should be treated as such.

Back in my day, the Corpsman would have told you, nope, you're lying and you're malingering. Now, get back to your unit before I write your stupid arse up. Serve your time like a fricking man and quit being a fig.

100%. If you persist, your arse goes to the brig or Leavenworth.

The cost, number of operations, and time involved in transitioning vary greatly depending on individual needs and choices. The cost can range from a few thousand dollars to over $100,000, while the number of surgeries can range from none to several. Transitioning can take months to years, depending on the chosen path and the individual's pace.
So of the 1000, probably half actually want to go under the knife, and the vast majority of that enlisted specifically because of the free transition, with little stress of actually having to do any work because they will always be in surgery or rehab.

They (mentally ill w/ gender dysphoria) have used 'Military Service' to fund their transition (at no cost to them) just as the Catholic Church has attracted pedophiles to its clergy.

I’m sorry if it hurts your feelings, but if you are “diagnosed” with anything related to your psychological condition, isn’t that by definition a mental illness?
So fricking dishonest to pretend otherwise, IMHO.
