    Framing "no trans" policy in terms of cost is ludicrous -- associated medical expenses would be a minuscule fraction of the military budget.pic.twitter.com/CtQx4i2Gku

        Furthermore, Trump wants to massively increase military spending, and constantly screams about how vets/active duty deserve the best care.

        It's not a matter of cost: that's a pretext. It's a matter of Culture War grievance-mongering & scapegoating a vulnerable class of citizens.

        But there shouldn't be a policy in place where the Pentagon, and therefore taxpayers, are funding trans surgeries.

        But its OK to spend even more on Viagra prescriptions? Not to mention the unaccountable loss of trillions from Pentagon budget since 1990s?

        If paying for gender reassignment is "absurd", perhaps you can offer an adjective for this?: http://www.businessinsider.com/pentagon-transgender-medical-comparison-2017-7 …
