Most people who require medication aren’t allowed in the military. It makes logistics so much harder. This goes for those with severe allergies, diabetes, or any number of issues. There’s a reason why MREs are super shelf stable, why most small arms use the same 5.56 round, why everything uses diesel, etc, etc. It’s all to make logistics easier and better.
Hormones fall under the same category. What happens when a transman stops taking testosterone? What happens when a transwoman stops taking estrogen? The first thing a good enemy will do is cut off the logistics chain, and that would cripple anyone who needs meds.
Lol, I’m currently active duty and prescribed four different daily medications for long term issues. None of this is disqualifying or prevents me from deploying. This is a complete non-issue outside of a FOB
Trans people stop taking hormones all of the time. There was recently a recall of testosterone gel due to contamination - there are definitely guys going without at this current moment.
It’s not like you have to keep taking hormones to keep being trans. If you are a trans guy and go off for a while, your periods might come back, which sucks. Over long periods of time, you’d have your fat and muscle redistribute.
It’s not like missing a shot or a pill kills you. I feel like garbage if I’m off, but I still function.
You could maybe make an argument that people on medication shouldn’t be sent behind enemy lines. But you realize that’s a tiny fraction of servicemembers, right? Most servicemembers are stationed within the country, and many more are stationed at bases in allied nations, where supply chain isn’t at risk.
And… if there is a supply chain issue, they’ve got bigger problems, like food?
What happens? One thing that DOESN’T happen is that they would be unable to fight. Transmen might slowly lose some musculature, but they’d still perform about the same in combat, certainly for awhile. Transwomen might actually bulk up. And all of them would have an extra level of rage at the enemy to tap into. Your whole point is bogus.

Did you get waivers?

Source. That’s absolute horseshit. A source is a valid requirement here. It 100% depends on what’s needed.

Here you go
That is a list of disqualifying conditions. That doesn’t support what you said.
Where is “most”? Where is any metric?
What do a lot of those conditions have in common? Required daily medication.
Testosterone is often a once every other week, or once a week shot. Some people have pellets, which are implanted under the skin and last for months.
And again, it’s not “required.” There are trans people who never even take hormones.
Dude people with disabilities can serve ffs.
He doesn’t care, dude is a straight up fascist.
He loves getting into arguments over minutue because it gives his ideas the legitimacy of being taken seriously.
He really just needs to fuck off back into the sewer with the rest of the scummy losers.
