The trans who don’t take hormones won’t pass for their desired gender lol
My first speeding ticket was before I started testosterone. The officer wrote male. My drivers license still said female.
I do shots, once a week. Started every other week. No deleterious medical effects over the past ten or so years, barring some issues with high blood cell count, which is fairly easy to manage/eliminate. I do it myself - I’m shit at z-tracking but eh, must not be fucking it up too much. Just to give you a data point, because you seem ignorant about trans people in general and I’m glad to educate.
In a military context I can imagine it would be problematic to give oneself injections, but there are gels and the pellets. Estrogen is a pill, can also be injected. But the thing is, you can go without hormones and it’s survivable. Testosterone shortages have been a routine issue forever. It’s not like having to skip a week detranses you.
I’m not questioning your knowledge of the military - I am questioning your knowledge of medicine.

I’m not an expert on the trans subject, obviously. But I know it would be problematic in the military, especially in combat situations.
I don’t mean to come off as insensitive, but being a veteran, I have a different perception.
Sorry you live in a town where people don’t understand you.
Nation.
