[E. Pluribus Unum]

Based on ICD-10 diagnosis codes related to transgenderism, the number of occurrences in active-duty military is on the rise—and it’s an exponential rise.

The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) is a depository of all diagnoses, which are recorded using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. Earlier today, active-duty Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie shared the following DMED data on “transsexualism” in a series of posts on X:

While all branches of service exhibit an increase in occurrences listed as “transsexualism,” the Army and Air Force have shown the most marked increases between 2016 and 2022. The number of occurrences increased exponentially in 2021 and continued to rise in the following year.

This is just further proof that leftists ruin everything they touch.

The Cost Of Waging World War Trans

Does the government pay for that kind of treatment/surgery if you are in the military?

If so, that explains why so many are choosing to enlist.

[Flaming Conservative]

Well, yeah. If you announce free sex changes to a bunch of sicko trans, you bet they’ll sign up. Especially when they know the military has dropped a lot of the tougher part of basics.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yes. And because it was a procedure that was done to you while you were active duty they have to take care of it through the VA system forever. In theory at least.

So…. Not born that way?

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the looniest of us all?

If the present “Trans Are Always Right!” policy continues in our military, it will completely destroy any usefulness of the military as organizations devoted to our national defense.

It will fully morph into nothing more than
“Generational Welfare Living, but with (sorta tight) uniforms”

[metmom]

That explains a lot.

The United States Military and the Girl Scouts of America used to be separate organizations.

I’m glad I did my time and got out.

The military is paying for it. By the time they go through the operation and all the therapies, they don’t even serve their duties during their enlistment

[MTBobcat]

It’s a free surgery for these Freaks and the men who get their penises turned into an open wound “vagina” get free maintenance for their rotting flesh.

[Angelino97]

I assume some trannies decline surgery. "Some women have penises!" They only declare themselves trans because it will help them get promotions.

The psychos want the free surgery.

The grifters want the affirmative action benefits.

The perverts don't join the military because there's nothing in it for them. No children to molest.

i’m guessing there is a reason recruitment is down in the military...i just can’t quite put my finger on it....

In 2008, Obama ended “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Now less than 20 years later, we have this. Who could have predicted it? Except anyone with a brain.

Looking at the stat page (which is very fuzzy), it shows some 430 or so cases in 2022, which is about 0.033% of the 1.3 million serving personnel.

Assuming @1% of serving personnel are gay/homosexual, that amounts to about 13,000 persons. I suspect the number is higher, but let’s go with this. 430 cases out of 13,000 gays is 3.3% of the gays.

On the whole, this seems to be a very minor problem so far.

[buwaya]

I believe the problem is vastly worse among, say, girls in liberal arts colleges.
