With the current court battles going on, would i even get to recieve medical care if I came out?

pretty much tittle, I haven't come out yet as I'm still weighing my options if I want to for sure finish my 20 years or risk throwing that away cause of this administration. So would I even get the medical care such as HRT or would I just be placed on a short list for med board if the court battles go badly?

I wouldn't even mind having to pay out of pocket for HRT. so long as i got a script for E, I would just take a vacation somewhere I can buy it cheap and load up on like a years worth lol.

Did anybody's therapist just send them a notice this week saying that Tricare hasn't been paying their bill and they need to discontinue therapy. I just got that message today.

Fuck this disgusting “body-count scoreboard” bullshit

Trump really posted this like dead Americans are numbers on a fucking campaign graphic.

“Venezuela: 0 dead.”

“Iran: 18 dead.”

Eighteen service members are still eighteen human beings. Eighteen families who lost someone. Eighteen lives that do not magically become acceptable because previous wars killed more people.

Imagine being commander in chief and responding to American deaths by basically saying, “Relax, my number is lower than Vietnam.” That is not leadership. That is a malignant narcissist grading his own war with a curve.

He is also comparing conflicts with completely different timelines, objectives and circumstances because the numbers look flattering when stripped of all context. Human beings reduced to statistics so an elderly billionaire can congratulate himself online.

And his supporters will still call this “respecting the troops” because apparently wrapping callous bullshit in an American flag makes it patriotism.

Veterans and service members are not political props. The dead are not points on Trump’s fucking leaderboard.

Fuck Donald Trump. Every preventable death matters, even when the number is inconveniently small for his victory lap.

Judge in trans military ban case demands Pentagon explain Hegseth’s testosterone double standard

https://www.advocate.com/politics/national/judge-hegseth-testosterone-transgender?utm_source=equalpride&utm_campaign=7c45384bcb-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2026_07_22_06_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_11dd7c7578-7c45384bcb-507583999&mc_cid=7c45384bcb

https://apple.news/Aa5hMhH5LTNGoXeb5gk-ujw

Judge Ana Reyes is demanding answers about a policy that offers testosterone to some troops while citing hormone care to remove others.

Reyes took judicial notice of Hegseth’s July 15 announcement that all service members 30 and older, including women, would receive annual screening for testosterone deficiency. Troops found to have low testosterone may voluntarily receive testosterone replacement therapy, known as TRT, as part of their periodic health assessments.

The judge then placed Hegseth’s program beside the language of Trump’s military ban. That policy declares that members of the armed forces must meet high mental and physical standards “without the benefit of routine medical treatment or special provisions.”

“The Court must assess the impact of this newly announced policy on the parties’ positions,” Reyes wrote in Talbott v. United States, later setting an August 7 briefing deadline.

The same hormone, two standards:
Her order places an increasingly conspicuous contradiction at the center of the litigation. The Trump administration has argued that transgender service members may be excluded partly because they require continuing medical treatment, including hormone therapy. Hegseth, meanwhile, has announced that the military will routinely test older service members for low testosterone and provide the same hormone when doctors recommend it.

Reyes now wants the Pentagon to explain why testosterone can be treated as a tool of health and readiness for cisgender troops but as evidence of unfitness when prescribed to transgender men.

A two-week-long trial is scheduled to begin on January 4, 2027.

What job can I take on that will get me free housing?

I can’t take this anymore. I am closeted and I realized today after a dysphoric shower in the field that I’m done. I need to get out of here as fast as possible.

Is there any job I can take on that offers free housing? Because my number one issue with leaving the military at this moment is the fact that I don’t have enough money to live. I’m completely broke.

Either a job with free housing, or a job that pays immediately would do wonders. I’m so done, I don’t know how much longer I can stay here.

Mixed House Amendment Results

So, this article popped up on my feed. Looks like the amendment to make the ban on transgender military members failed after two Republicans from NY & Pennsylvania voted with Democrats to oppose it (Guam and The Northern Marianas Islands also voted against but they dont have actual voting power).

The article title makes it sound like a victory, but if you read further it describes how the #1trans hater in the House, Nancy Mace (seriously wtf is her problem), got a ban on Tricare funding for certain aspects of transitioning. I'll have to pull up the actual text of the amendment when I get home to see how cruel it is (its all cruel).

https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/house-republicans-fail-turn-trump-133942637.html

Edit: The Northern Marianas Islands were the other ceremonial vote against the amendment.

Edit 2: Holy shit, this bitch didn't get rid of some, she fucking gutted it.

Need resources

Well, I got my DD-214, and now I'm homeless. Fun. This isn't a rant—I genuinely just want to know what resources are available for transgender service members.

Just started admin leave, wondering how I pursue hrt?

I just got placed on admin leave today and hopefully I’ll get seperated sometime soon but since I can’t get hrt through the navy how do I go about starting hrt? Do I just go to a civilian doctor once im out and get a diagnosis again? Should I even bother and just go the DIY route? And advice is greatly appreciated!!!! ♥️

Advice on filing a congressional?

Has anyone here filed a congressional inquiry?

I was separated on January 1, and it’s now been almost 8 months. My separation pay has been delayed because of multiple administrative errors.

- First, my separation pay wasn’t included on my original DD-214 because it wasn’t on my orders.

- After HRC corrected my orders, finance found my BASD/PEBD was incorrect, which required updated LES records, retirement points, and a new DA Form 1506. Once that was finally resolved, I had to wait months for a corrected DD-214.

I recently received the updated DD-214 (two weeks ago) only to find out it was still incorrect and had to be sent back again. The frustrating part is that nobody informed me! I only found out because I reached out to the finance office myself to check the status of my pay.

Throughout this entire process, I’ve had to constantly follow up just to get updates.
At this point, I’m exhausted. I’ve tried to be patient, but eight months is a long time to wait for something that should have been resolved by now.

It’s also created a financial hardship while I’ve been trying to move on with my life after separation.

Has anyone had success filing a congressional inquiry for something like this? If so, what was the process like, and did it actually help move things along?

TL;DR: Separated January 1. My separation pay has been delayed for nearly 8 months due to multiple administrative errors (orders, BASD/PEBD, DD-214 corrections). I’ve had to repeatedly chase updates myself, and my corrected DD-214 was sent back again without anyone notifying me. Has anyone filed a congressional inquiry for something like this, and did it help?

Torn between enlisting and transitioning—looking for advice

I'm a senior in highschool and am interested in enlisting the only thing that makes me unsure is the fact I'm a trans man. I understand the current requirements and restrictions connected to transgender people. I'm not on any hormones and haven't been diagnosed with gender dysphoria but it is something I in the future and with the current administration it's unpredictable how long these restrictions will last. If I were to enlist I could go the rest of this term without starting medically transitioning but after trump's term is over it's still not guaranteed any of these new rules will be changed to allow transgender people medically transition while serving. I would really appreciate any and all opinions/perspectives as I'm stuck between being true to myself or following my aspirations.

Do I qualify?

I started exploring my gender identity about a year and a half ago. I decided to try hrt and clarified to my planned parenthood Dr that I was comfortable with my agab, but wanted to explore myself with the help of hrt. A year later I decided it wasn't for me and stopped taking it. Do I qualify to join the military? Preferably air force.

So I guess now the DoD is going to offer all cisgender men yearly testosterone testing and testosterone replacement therapy if they want💀

The irony is that the <0.1% population of transgender service members was too expensive to provide hormone replacement therapy, but now they're going to be offering it to all cis male service members

16 dead. 430+ wounded. 1 missing. I'm just relieved I'm out.

Two years ago I would've been one of the people who could've been sent. Today I'm watching from home.

Current reported U.S. casualties:

• 16 service members killed

• 430+ wounded

• 1 currently missing in action

I hate that anyone has to die over a nonsensical war...

But I'm also not going to pretend I'm upset that I got forced out by the trans military ban anymore. I spent months angry about losing my career.

Looking at those numbers now? I'm just relieved I'm not the one wearing the uniform anymore.

The irony is hard to ignore. I was told I was the "threat" to military readiness because I'm trans. Meanwhile, the real danger was always missiles, drones, and war. My gender identity never killed anyone.

RIP to those who didn't make it home, and I hope the missing service member is found.

In which countries we will see gender neutral mandate military services..?

Well a lot of countries where now men are treated as human instead of provider and protecter (as a slave)like norwadic countries sweden, denmark and norway where military services are mandatory for both men and women also men are not expected to provide, protect and pay on dates and many more.But in Finland where you will rarely find any housewife still military service is mandatory for men not women.

Also can you tell me why men don't say anything against men only draft is not this sexist that women have right to vote , every thing still male only draft why men don't say anything.

r/Military removed a trans Navy veteran’s service post, ignored modmail, then permanently banned and muted her for asking why

This is such a perfect example of Reddit mod behavior.

A trans Navy veteran posts a photo of herself doing actual maintenance on a Navy LCS while active duty.

Not stolen valor. Not spam. Not some random political meme. An actual veteran posting about her own service.

r/Military removes it with no explanation.

She asks modmail why.

No response. She posts a follow-up asking why it was removed, with screenshots.

Their response? Permanent ban, follow-up removed, and then a permanent mute from modmail.

No rule cited. No explanation. No actual conversation

The funniest part is that r/navy left the same kind of post up Navy Post because apparently the Navy subreddit can handle a Navy veteran existing better than r/Military can.

Nobody should brigade or harass anyone, obviously. But people should see how this was handled.

A veteran talked about her service while trans, and the mod response was basically: remove, ignore, ban, mute. Screenshots attached.

HRT THRU VA

I haven’t been on this thread in months and i don’t know if this is common knowledge BUT. whoever started HRT through the military is allowed to continue their HRT through the VA. i did not know this. took absolutely forever to get an appointment with the endocrinologist and was wondering why my PCM wanted the appointment anyways. come to find out, I just got a years worth of supplies.

if anyone is confused about the statement that was put out about the VA, do not let them fear you into not asking questions and doing what’s best for you! i also believe we are still allowed surgeries because they did as me about those as well. best of luck to all of you!
