Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk

By The Federalist. In the weeks surrounding President Trump’s inauguration, America’s propaganda press relentlessly cited leftist claims that 15,000 trans-identifying individuals would be booted from the military under the new commander-in-chief. The insinuation, of course, was that such a move would harm “military readiness” and the country’s national security.

But as it turns out, there is still no evidence the 15,000 figure parroted by so-called “journalists” is even remotely viable.

Following a victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, the Pentagon announced last week that it has resumed the process of removing individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria from the service. The agency disclosed in a press release that approximately 1,000 service members “who have self-identified as being diagnosed with gender dysphoria will begin the voluntary separation process.”

This revelation prompted The Federalist to probe the Defense Department and branches of the armed services to determine how many trans-identifying troops are currently serving in the military and how many have begun the voluntary separation process in accordance with Pentagon guidelines.

In a statement to The Federalist, a Defense Department official said that, as of February, there are “approximately 4,200 Active-duty, Guard and Reserve service members currently serving diagnosed with gender dysphoria” throughout the armed forces. The total is roughly the same that was announced by the agency in February. (Read more from “Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk” HERE)

Pentagon halting “gender-affirming” health care for transgender troops, memo says

By NBC News. The Pentagon is halting gender-affirming health care for transgender troops as it moves to implement President Donald Trump’s plan to kick them out of the U.S. military, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Monday.

The instructions from the Defense Department barred any new hormone treatments as well as any surgical procedures for transgender troops, the memo said.

“I am directing you to take the necessary steps to immediately implement this guidance,” Stephen Ferrara, the acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said in the memo. . .

The U.S. Supreme Court on May 6 permitted Trump’s administration to implement his ban on transgender people in the military, allowing the armed forces to discharge the thousands of current transgender troops and reject new recruits while legal challenges play out.
