Biden Directs The Pentagon To Spend Billions On Sex Change Operations and Medications

Biden to spend billions on sex changes for transgender troops 

President Biden is directing the Pentagon to pay for sex-change surgery for transgender troops. That will likely cost billions of dollars at a time when federal spending is already out of control and our country’s national debt is already far bigger than our economy. 

Biden is doing so even though sex changes often fail to make transgender people happy, as some admit. The suicide rate of transgender people actually rises after they get sex changes, notes the Heritage Foundation. 

The Washington Examiner reports that “taxpayers will now foot the bill for gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel and veterans, with some treatments costing upward of $200,000 under an executive order signed by President Biden.” Biden’s order “repeals an Obama-era policy that prohibited federally funded” sex-change surgery. 

The Pentagon could pay for a great many surgeries as a result. The Blaze notes that a “2017 report found there are more than 134,000 veterans and 15,000 service members who identify as transgender.” 

If a third of these veterans and service members obtained taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgery at a cost of $200,000 each, that would add up to a total cost of $10 billion. If more transgender people join the military in hopes of obtaining the surgery, taxpayers could be on the hook for billions of dollars more in surgeries.
