Honestly if they're worried about mental health then they should bar everyone under 22 years of age.

You can't have it both ways, if you're willing to accept people with yet to mature brains you can't then argue for barring others from serving for questionable state of mental health.
And if medical cost is such an issue then why are you focusing on trans instead of those with ptsd?

suicide risk drops, stress from social sources goes up
it's irresponsible not to treat trans people in the military. a lot of mtf trans people join the military because they think it will 'man them up' and get rid of their trans feelings. it never does, because that's not how it works. the endpoints are almost always suicide or transition, with a rare few who go on with their lives with a staggering degree of self-hate.
this ban doesn't stop trans people from joining the military, it stops visibly trans people from serving once they decide to transition. they're still going to join, because a lot of the trans people who join haven't decided to transition yet.
once someone does, at that point you've sunk a bunch of money into their training. you're going to throw that away? when the far, far cheaper and cost-effective option is to treat them? the cost of some counseling and hrt is invisible relative to the total defense budget, and you get to keep skilled individuals on staff and improve their mental health at the same time.

>19 year old people need constant medical treatments to be who they are without having a mental breakdown
Stupid comparison.

I'm sorry user are you talking about 19 year old transgenders or 19 year old privates in the army diagnosed with ptsd during their first tour in the middle east?
Your statement was so generalized that unfortunately you can get the two examples mixed up easily.

Discharge people afflicted with PTSD.
