        We also pay more money for military people to take Viagra. So Mitch McConnell can get his dick on.

        He can chop off whatever else he wants and I will still willingly and wholeheartedly pay for it because he protects every thing else I own, my freedom.

        I had treatment for infertility on the taxpayers dime while in the US Army. In 1975! It's called a BENEFIT FOR SERVICE!! This should not be news. You're just stirring the pot!

        Gender reassignment is not a medical issue it's a choice. Totally different

        Childbearing is a choice. I wasn't sick or in pain. Should they have denied me the opportunity to bear a child?

        Sweetheart your beloved government just paid 1200$ per toilet seat in your local police precinct. Let’s calm our tits a little here.

        1: conflating federal vs local government 2: I "belove" my country, not my government 3: wasting $ in one area doesn't justify wasting $ in another area 4: are you comparing the value of gender reassignment surgery to toilet seats? Seems a bit insensitive, no? #PainefulTruth

        Just pointing out our government’s propensity to waste your hard earned tax money. Also well done with #painefultruth. I love a good pun

        Tax payers should NOT have to pay for this. Just wrong on all accounts. They surely should be allowed to serve but sign a waiver that as long as they are on active duty they will not get gender-reassignment.
