So are the T injections conservatives are all taking these days...
Hell, when that one idiot told them to tan their but holes to increase testosterone, that was technically gender affirming care, just not actually effective.
ED meds are gender affirming care, aren't they? If they are gonna cut it out of military spending, cut all of it out.
If the administration did that, they would have to deal with a coup d'état the next day. 🤣
Viagra is gender affirming care.
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!!!
It was never about the money being spent. It is about othering fellow Americans and creating a Boogeyman for the Fox/OAN/etc. crowd.
Considering how cheap viagra is, this is actually kind of astonishing.
ED can be a long term symptom of traumatic brain injury. TBI is super common for anyone deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan
"Thanks for killing all those middle eastern kids. Here are your allotted dick pills. Oh and, you're not trans are you?"

I was under the impression that sex had no place in our military. Why’re they helping service members get boners if they aren’t supposed to be fucking in the first place?
On the contrary, the military is very pro getting soldiers to have kids. They incentivize it pretty heavily because a lot of people who serve end up having kids who serve, so they get the generational recommitment out of it
Does the DoD pay for medical treatment of those that have retired? Ive seen some news that viagra also helps treat some problems that arise when the prostate grows too much, like having trouble peeing and some pains.

That is what viagra is.
Makes sense. How can we expect our troops to drop bombs on middle-eastern children if they can't get it up?
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.
Its not a small figure, either

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.

The DoD knows how to make a soldier happy; blue pills and hummers ;)
And that's just the supply for Hegseth's whiskey dick.
$5.2m? They’re probably gonna spend more than that just arguing this case. It’s never been about the money.

sigh Everything reminds me of her...
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.
And some of that Viagra is probably used in sexual assault.
