A new study published in the JAMA
shows that people who suffer from gender identity disorders are
overrepresented in the military by 2-1 when compared to the civilian
population.
Gender dysphoria is a mental condition in which the sufferer believes they were born in the wrong body.
In the JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, a study
found that the number of enlisted personnel suffering from gender
dysphoria has risen since the Pentagon lifted its ban on transgender
people serving in the military under former President Obama.
Incredibly, lead author Dr. Natasha Schivey couldn’t figure out why
so many transgenders are enlisting in the military for free hormones and
free sex change surgeries.
She told Reuters Health that the prevalence of gender confused
individuals in the military “seems to come as a surprise to people”.
In 2016, Dr. Schivey and her colleagues surveyed 204 doctors at a meeting after the transgender ban was lifted.
74.3% percent of the doctors surveyed said they did not receive
adequate training to care for soldiers suffering from gender dysphoria.
52.9 percent of the doctors surveyed said they would not provide
hormones to treat gender dysphoria even if they received the training.
This revelation would have ended their military careers under for
President Obama.
