No need to complicate the matter. Taxes shouldn't be going to the treatments and drugs. That's like a personal expense. We shouldn't be paying for Viagra or birth control ether.

If you're injured in service, then yeah. I'm fine with that. Government put you in that situation. Same thing with agent orange mutations in Vietnam. That stuff is still causing birth defects over there.

I respect your right to your point of view, but subsidized drugs of all those sorts work well enough here in Canada. I'd rather be funding a medical system that cares for transgender folks so we can keep trying to combat suicide rates. Birth control, I'm for. I don't know if I can convince you otherwise, but I think the pills are cheaper monthly than a living baby. But we can discuss it if you want, just my POV.

Viagra, I worked in pharmacies for years and only saw it covered for Veterans (Canada seems to treat vets a BIT better XD), and that was one 90 year old. There was also one exception dude who took it for his lungs and had to have a bunch of paperwork processed to get it covered.

It's dope that you're pro covering stuff being covered in the line of service.

I think people will know that I'm pro trans people being allowed in the military. I think their meds should be covered within that structure too. Most basic-ass meds are cheap as hell to produce, just look at stuff like insulin. It's only jackass companies charging high for it.
