The most serious threat comes from those who are transitioning. Chemical transitioning is expensive. Since it adds chemicals to the body which are foreign to its makeup, it creates problems with the body’s functions, as well as opening the person up to all kinds of physical ailments which would hamper their combat readiness and require costly medical treatment. Soldiers are given a physical to determine if they are physically able to handle training and combat, and it is foolish to enable them to undergo treatment that would jeopardize that capability. Sex adjustment surgery is an elective surgery and is very expensive. In addition, it does not change who the person is. A woman may change to look like a man but it does not change her muscle or bone structure which are not as adapted for strength as are those of a man, leaving her at a disadvantage in a combat situation. While proponents claim that it is necessary to prevent them from committing suicide, studies show it does not reduce the risk of suicide and may actually increase the likelihood of them committing suicide. The White House continues to push the Dept of Health and Human Services to increase efforts to ban conversion therapy (helping confused kids sort out their sexual feelings) and increase access to transgenders, including children, for sex therapy including sex blockers and adjustment surgeries. Kids who faced that confusion in the past usually worked out their confusion over time on their own or with professional help but today they are pushed to transition with no attempt to help them sort out their confusion. As a result, transitioning often does not solve their confusion, it often compounds it.
