EXCLUSIVE: Unearthed Data Sheds Light On Military’s Transgenderism Explosion Under Biden

Transgender care for U.S. service members and minor dependents exploded under the Biden administration, documents obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

“Gender dysphoria” patient counts jumped roughly 82% during President Joe Biden’s first year in office, according to internal Defense Health Agency (DHA) records. The documents identify 17,596 unique patients in a DHA gender dysphoria dataset from 2014 to 2022,including 3,807 patients under 18.

The documents were originally obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation and provided to the DCNF.

Air Force Public Affairs referred to the DHA. The DHA could not provide a comment in time for publication.

“I think there could have been something going on where people may have been joining the Air Force or military in general in order to get this care and then exit,” James Fitzpatrick, the director of CASA, told the DCNF. “I trust that concern is being addressed now, given the new tightening of the rules surrounding this in the military, per the executive orders that came out last year, but yeah, I think it’s concerning, and again it just shows their priority and their ideology almost above anything else … was to you know push this type of medical care and this type of ideology onto our soldiers and military service members.”

The records show that the number of patients diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” nearly doubled after Biden took office, from 2,221 in 2020 to 4,034 in 2021.The number of patients in 2021 is over eight times the number of patients in 2014, the beginning of the data in the records.

“It just shows that the Biden administration was prioritizing this. They were; the numbers seem dramatically increased just immediately as he came in,” Fitzpatrick told the DCNF. “I think this is just something at the top of their list that they prioritized from day one. They weren’t shy about it. They proudly wanted to push trans ideology and trans medical care in our military, and that includes to spouses and to children, and they were not shy about spending government resources.”
