The judge overseeing the case against the Defense Department’s firing of transgender service members revealed that the military spends 8 times more on erectile dysfunction medication than on gender affirming care.
While discussing military spending with the Defense Department (DoD) attorney for the ongoing Talbott v Trump case, Judge Ana Reyes said the DoD spends approximately $5.2 million annually on medical care for service members with gender dysphoria.
Comparatively, the DoD spends $42 million a year on medication for service members with erectile dysfunction.
The US District Judge asked: “It’s not even a rounding error, right?”
That’s is gender affirming care. Lol
I swear, you have to be so entrenched in media to understand a headline like this.
And that’s just the supply for Hegseth’s whiskey dick.
I don’t think the taxpayers should subsidize male erections… call me crazy.
Our taxes should be used to pay for universal health care that covers ALL medical issues, including erectile distribution, gender affirming care, abortions, IVF, etc.
Everything. For everyone.
that I’m fine with, I just don’t like the idea of curving out niches for certain groups versus universal health care
Doesn’t this make sense though, statistically? Aren’t men with ED a much larger portion of the population than people trying to transition?
I would say that yes, this is expected, but goes to show how much the cost of gender affirming care is being blown out of proportion by the right.
That’s true for sure
Yeah. Too bad the party of Facts and Logic® isn’t too keen on facts and logic
That is what viagra is.
The DoD knows how to make a soldier happy; blue pills and hummers ;)
they could have gotten generic boner pills for much less money.
have they not seen those commercials?
even a gas station poner pill would cost less.
It very likely is generic.
All my meds from the VA are generic.

Its not a small figure, either
Yeah, headline should have said care for gender dysphoria. Viagra is gender affirming care too…
If God wants you to have a limp dick that is his plan for you!!! How dare you go against God!!! 😆
Dick pills (and hair plugs) are gender affirming, you twats…
100%! If your dick don’t work, God doesn’t want you using it!!!
Ummm…that IS “gender affirming care”, though.
Isn’t viagra gender affirming care?
That’s what I thought.
Viagra is gender affirming care.
Amphetamines are prob getting a military boost in the coming years.
And some of that Viagra is probably used in sexual assault.
Peacetime, wartime, on leave.
