I think she's trying to hold onto her life. She probably won't be around much longer after she retires. I'm not a fan of her, but I've seen seniors who rapidly deteriorated once they retired. She probably should have stepped down long ago, but she made the job her life.
She deteriorated horribly as shown in that video. They were doing everything they could to keep her out of view of that camera. This on what looked like a simple car trip for anyone else.
I am a Republican who sees people as either male, female, or intersexed. Excluding people who are intersexed, a man is still a man even if he gets surgery to have a womb and a woman is still a woman if she gets a penis surgery. I don't agree with this ban. A trans person should have the right to serve in the military. Now, if that trans person is pre-op and expects the military to cover the costs for that operation, I don't agree with that trans potentially taking advantage of that.
Bad media title. There is no ban on transgenders in the military. Many can still serve under certain restrictions. They have to serve as the sex they were born as, but can still be openly transgender. They can not be in the process of transitioning, nor display Gender Dysphoria.
In a decision that is bound to 'trigger' millions across America!!!!! The justices, voting 5-4, put on hold lower court decisions that had blocked the administration’s planned ban from taking effect. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented.
“This case is about whether men and women who want to serve in the United States Armed Forces to protect their country and who are able and otherwise qualified to do so should be barred from military service because they are transgender,” according to court filings on behalf of current and prospective military members."
stupid ban which does nothing but justify hatred of these individuals. But it “triggers liberals” which is a touchdown for the Kavanaugh court, so all is well.

The Dems legislate from the bench. They shop for judges and loaded the SCOTUS and circuit courts.
The fact that there is now 5 Constitutional Justices scares the hell out of them!
They were so close to dismantling it once and for all!
I can see how this would be unconstitutional. But also, it could be seen as too much of a burden on the military. If the genders are separated for things like housing and showering, what do you do with the transgendered people? Does someone with a female body, shower and bunk with males? I can see that as a handicap, and the military will exclude a lot of people based on minor physical flaws. But they could also put them into non combat positions. Seems complicated.
Not really resolved, just punted to the lower courts.
Personally, if someone is willing to lay their life down for this country I don't care what's going on between their legs. Let them serve. Especially since "The government has presented no evidence that their doing so harms military readiness, effectiveness or lethality".

The military has not presented evidence for a lot of disqualifiers that they say harms readiness and effectiveness".

The gender confused have mental issues. The ban is correct. Or do you want weapons placed in the hands of those with mental problems?
