Estimates from 2014? That's what we're using? That was a decade ago lmfao. Hell that was a couple years before the main stream "troons-good" narrative started getting pushed, so there is no way in hell this number is correct.
Would have been nice if they had numbers from, idk, when Trump did this shit the first time like you'd assume they would.
All I'm saying is, of all places that should have numbers about this shit, it should be the military, so them not having those numbers is very likely bullshit.
Lastly, IMO, the main reason (of many) troons should not be in the military is because once they're in, the military pays for everything. The entire surgery surgery is paid for by our tax dollars, as well as additional elective surgeries which most people aren't aware of. So to the common person they might think "Well they're probably only paying for the dick snip/meat stick + tit removal/addition" but they'd be wrong, since the military will also commonly cover elective surgeries, troons are also likely getting additional things like facial feminization/masculinization surgeries, entirely paid by tax dollars. Then throw in the thousands of dollars of meds a month, and you likely have several thousand dollars a month being spent on each individual troon, easily making them at least a dozen orders of magnitude more expensive then your average active duty member. Not to mention them spending god knows how much time off duty for recovery, mental health shit, etc.
Oh yea, and all of this shit continues past their 2-6 year active duty service indefinitely, on top of the 100% T&D disability checks (currently $4k/month +2-3% yearly) they are obviously going to get for the rest of their lives as well.
I'm not math guy, but my estimates are essentially for every 1 troon we get 2-3 years of actual grunt work out of, we spend 5 figures of our tax dollars on a month for the rest of their lives.
If we use their estimates, and say that the government is only spending $10k/month on their medical care + disability, that's $155 million ($155,000,000) dollars a MONTH spent on troons who were formerly half-assing it in the military. Awesome.
