I really don't see how anyone can defend this. Even if the extra medical costs were at all significant (they aren't), you're talking about categorically denying a class of citizen - who've done nothing wrong - their basic civil rights. If this were really about cost and combat effectiveness, you could simply not cover reassignment related expenses or exclude from combat roles, but that's not the case. This is blatant persecution, plain and simple. Trump sure is fighting for the LGBT community, alright. Just when you think this administration has hit a new low...
