A concerted effort to rewire human beings to praise and adore transgenders will not change the body dysmorphia and related conditions that transgenders suffer from that make them less than optimal choices for military service. Period.
Stop Confusing Gender Dysphoria With Body Dysmorphia Already

I am very socially liberal (in case one had any doubts), but I wouldn't have a big problem with that. Trans people could still serve if they wanted, which is the important point here. They could still transition at some point if they wanted/needed that, but the military just wouldn't be paying for it. Most trans people have to pay for it themselves, so this wouldn't really be out of the norm, anyway, and they would still be given the respect earned through voluntary service. I don't really see the big problem with that.

this. i believe we shouldn't be paying for their transition surgery. but if they can make it through training just like everyone else and can do their job, i see no reason to ban them.

If they can't, they don't get past boot. If they can, then they should be allowed to serve.

Ah, the United States. Where we plaster "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" on everything yet have a checklist to determine if a soldier is actually worth supporting.

Requirements
□ Cisgender
□ Heterosexual
□ Male

Preferred
□ Christian
□ White

Stay classy, America.
Indeed.

Because we don't pretend like we have the authority to determine what is and isn't "normal", an entirely subjective concept. I don't particularly like social conservatism, as I don't think it's rooted in rational facts, but I don't consider it abnormal, either. Basically, anything that can happen with people is normal in some sense. I think people just confuse the concept of normality with the probability of something happening, meaning that they often see something that is a majority as normal, and a minority as abnormal, but that's very simplistic.

A temporary ban until the next Democrat is elected and allowed to do so .. and once done, it can hardly be undone without great consequences

Great decision. The budget is already thin can't afford someone demanding hormone injections and a special bathroom
