The issue is the hormones. Since it is "life-saving" care, they need it in the field, which isn't conducive to being deployed. If someone is trans, but doesn't take hormones, let them stay in.

I also have no issue paying for hormones or surgery when they retire. I do not think trans benefits should be cut for people who have RETIRED from the military. Hell if someone wants a boob job, I have no issues when they retire.

Eh, trans surgeries are more or less self-harm, I'm not a fan of the surgeries being subsidized with government funding at all. I oppose the hormones being subsidized as well but am not sure how that could be legislated properly yet.
