And crazily enough, transgender is not a listed mental health condition according to the DSM-V classification of psychiatric disorders

I have not read the DSM-V .. But I am betting its still in there some place .. or they could not get surgery covered as medical expense.

Perhaps you should read up before making ignorant statements about what is and isn't a mental health condition

To clarify: you are saying things that are simply factually incorrect. I'd recommend googling "DSM-5 and transgender"

You can't charge insurance companies or the govt for not needed medical services to treat disease or injury or illness

How about this. You go looking for the ICD-10 code for transgender. I'll wait

if you give someone a diagnosis that means they are sick in some way .. There is no code of healthy male or women.

Absolutely. Like W61.33 "pecked by a chicken". We should kick all chicken-farmers out of the military post-haste!

Pecked by chicken is injury to the body .. If the chicken hurt you .. you treat the injury

The point is that ICD-10 codes cover virtually any imaginable injury. They aren't necessarily indicative of medical diagnoses.
