It doesn't really cost that much though, the costs are artifically high.

So let's figure out a way to get the hormonal treatments to be cost competitive with ED drugs.
okay get the hormonal treatments down, then theres still the issue of surgery and medical leave/disability, surgery wait time, then theres the mandatory counselling.
Thats a lot of extra overhead coupled with nondeployable absence, whereas all a gay soldier has to do is report for duty like everyone else
Still I don't see why any of this would restrict post-op trannies. If they have to keep taking hormone treatment, those costs aren't unreasonable and can be brought down and if thats the extent of their extra consideration, thats nothing.
