Assessing the Implications of Allowing Transgender Personnel to Serve Openly
"Recent U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) policy banned transgender
personnel from serving openly in the military. Potential changes to this
policy raised questions regarding access to gender transition–related
health care, the range of transition-related treatments that DoD will
need to provide, the potential costs associated with these treatments,
and the impact of these health care needs on force readiness and the
deployability of transgender service members. A RAND study identified
the health care needs of the transgender population and transgender
service members in particular. It also examined the costs of covering
transition-related treatments, assessed the potential readiness
implications of a policy change, and reviewed the experiences of foreign
militaries that permit transgender personnel to serve openly."
