There is no official or exact figure for how many transgender people serve. But the 2016 RAND study estimated that between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender service members are in the active duty military, while between 830 and 4,160 members are in reserves duty. RAND based its study on data from previous research, and estimated midrange figures of 2,450 transgender people in active duty and 1,510 in reserves. There are about 1.2 million active duty military servicemembers overall.Now what is his plan to deal with the above figure?So much for his waving the rainbow flag and proclaiming his support for the  LGBT community during his campaign.If he had a wooden nose it would be a yard long.Everyday in is his presidency is another day with an announcement to deflect the real problem in his administration.His new press secretary is obviously a cut from the same mold. 4951

Who has said they would having the surgery while in the military?   I can't think of a worse place to have that surgery [or any for that matter] than in a military hospital. 4951

He's the President.  And with that comes the ability to do silly things and the rest of us are forced to suck it up.  Been sucking up here for past 8 years.  Heard today that .03 of one pecent are trans gendered, their surgeries would be born by the military.  Millions upon millions of dollars. Thats not how Trump deems money well spent as per military spending.  
 
@Ruger5:
 
Try again. The overwhelming majority of transgendered people never undergo surgery.
This is nothing more than another hot headed distraction attempt meant to drum up support in a party who's interest in "their" candidate is waning. 4951

If you think that 20 year-olds considering removing or reshaping their genitals worry about doing it at a military hospital vs. non-military hospital, you better think again.  They worry about having it covered and paid for by someone else.  If our military has to provide coverage or spend money for one soldier to do it, that is one too many.  4951

Supporting LGBT has nothing to do with the insane policy of trans people in the military. His decision was based on the best advice from people who ACTUALLY are in the military and not into the whole "feelz good" PC garbage.There are many categories of people who cannot join the military. Why make an exception for this one small group who have a 40% attempted suicide rate and must be on all types of drugs for their transition? It's not a personal decision. There are such things, you know.  4951

@buffaloglenn:  It would be impossible to find out but, still, extremely interesting to know how many of these folks care about a military careers vs. "free" surgery.

Do you understand what transgender means? It's not simply lesbian, gay, bi or now with the added Q for "questioning"

@podunk:  I have yet to hear any lucid argument as to why TAXPAYERS should foot the bill for someone to go through the long and expensive process of transitioning to a different sex. And, IMO, a man who looks in the mirror and sees a woman has something so far wrong in his head that the last thing he needs is to have his dick chopped off. Likewise for a female who sees a man when she looks in the mirror. When young women starve themselves to death because they believe they're fat, in spite of what the mirror says, we give them treatment and support. We don't encourage them to continue their efforts which will result in death. That would be crazy but there's no political capital in using anorexics as pawns and there is with trans people.

@ZMAN:
If they aren't having surgery or hormone treatments they are just wannabe transgender..

Defining a transgender..is a person being refused to allow to serve because emotionally they feel as if they are the opposite sex and want To join as the opposite sex or are people that are actually undergoing gender reassignment..taking the hormones in anticipation of surgery? Or those that have completed the surgery but from my understanding will be taking hormones for the rest of their life..if I am wrong about the length of hormone treatments, someone please correct me.
 
So, who up in that list is being refused service?? Which? Or is it all 3? 4951

This was what the military advised Trump to do. It was the military that was worried about all the changes they would have to make to accommodate transgender.s. It was the military that advised Trump that the military that would bear the cost of the transgendering surgeries. It was the military that didn't want the military to become a place that transgendered would join just to have their surgeries done. This is what the military report that was studied. 4951
