Since most current evidence suggests that most of those that are transgender suffer from the psychiatric disorder gender dysphoria, it seems reasonable to limit their ability to access weapons that can harm themselves or others.

Oh look some jerk tagged me like normal

Ideally nobody would enlist but it's supposed to be accessible to all citizens and isn't so it's like. If somebody wants to sign up and get paid to go overseas and kill poor people in the interest of our nation's financial sector, isn't this the perfect way to do it? To let trans people be the ones risking everything instead of good ol all american whitey mcgee?

The answer is simple. They don't want to treat lgbt people as people and especially not if it means they can become a hero.

This is virtue signaling by the right and pathetic.

I think a lot of people here are coming from an uninformed position are getting outraged over nothing

I don't give a shit if someone is tramsgensered. It's considered a mental disorder though and that would bar them from deployment, probably reinelistment, maybe even get them kicked out due to mental issues

Money wise

Another big issue people keep bringing up is.. a guy can't pass male PT standards so he would transition to a woman for easier standard.

If you look at the recent Ranger class that first allowed Women this year. They were allowed special advantages that men didn't have and extra training, extra retries for failed events(which men don't get)

At the end of the day it's a military designed to kill America's enemies. Can't have mental disorders and lax standards

How much are these medical costs?
Someone wanting to join so that they have the chance for their surgery eventually being paid for doesn't really bother me. Many many people join the military for financial reasons such as the bonuses and college tuition payment, and I don't think people have an issue with that. There are currently monetary reasons for joining, and this would be no different.

Nah. Because if we get real, the universe of people who both want to serve in the military and are transgender is probably not even a couple hundred people. This is not worth anyone's time to even worry about.

This suggests 15,000 currently serving

Which is pro-LBGT horseshit. That would mean the military has rates of transgenderism that is more than 10x the population average.

It's not right to pull a "Don't ask don't tell" on transgender individuals. If we aren't even allowed to speak of it within the military, that's not just outright discrimination. That is revoking someone like me from fighting for the country that once gave me a freedom. But of course, those freedoms to aid my country are being revoked now. My protections within the schooling systems are being revoked. All care with this administration towards people like me are out the window.

I'm sorry Admiral. You know how I stand on even grounds typically. This is just bullshit. If you want to serve your country, it should be your choice to do it. I'm just as American as anyone else on CE or in this country. Fuck this administration.

Jesus I hate you people. It was WRONG when you banned blacks and whites from serving together in same unit. It was WRONG when you banned gays. IT'S WRONG today for all the same reasons. Every time you've said the same fucking thing, "We cant let blacks and whites serve together because it will affect unit cohesion, we cant let gays serve because unit cohesion, we cant let trans serve because unit cohesion!" Why cant you look at the pattern of history and realize YOU'RE WRONG?

People dont want trans in the military because theyre prejudiced against trans, end of story. Youre sick, hateful people who think it's a psychiatric condition when it isnt! Fuck Trump and everyone who makes attack helicopter jokes.

Gays and Women are still barely accepted in the military as well. Remember, the GOP is trying to bring back don't ask, don't tell and somehow expect women to be able to meet the male standards for military training even through a woman's body is pretty different from a man's for them to have the same training regimen. So it's not at all surprising tome that they want it to return to being a boy's club of like minded individuals Hell, in the military there's a racial divide as well,it's a perfect breeding ground for tribalism.


If their not phisically up to the standard then they shouldn't be allowed to join. It doesn't matter what parts you have

Since it's the military,, the expenses are lowered compared to civilians because medical insurance has some serious leeway in getting fees down. Civilians would pay $50,000 for all surgeries possible. The military could get that all cut down to maybe 20-30k at most. And they could even get them to a Thai surgeon for nominally less than any american one and ensure that 20k cap for all surgeries over a month duration.

You're an American who has a medical condition. This is not offensive or an insult, and I have absolutely no issue with you as a person, but it is a reality.

Being transgender is not the same as being gay, black, a woman, or anything else that just happens to be a characteristic of someone. It's a condition that requires things like hormone treatments (which might not easily be available if you're stationed in places like Afghanistan) and which also causes you to have rates of depression and suicide that are much higher than the population average, which is incredibly dangerous in the already high-stress, depression-prone positions in the military.

People with all types of medical conditions are not allowed to serve in the military. This is no different.

I worked in medical billing. The military might take ages to get you coverage through the VA but for any sort of specialist, they'll spare no expense and usually save money because they pull so much weight. Getting costs down is the primary function of insurance.

This "medical condition" does not in any way (nor has it ever) hindered a transgender individuals ability to handle a firearm. I want proof that this is a problem within the military.

Show me WHERE in the DSM it's considered a psychiatric disorder lovefist. Show me ANY of the evidence. All the evidence goes in the OPPOSITE direction, that it's something people are born with and can't change, but here you are spreading misinfo.

That's because, just like stats about transwomen assaulting little girls in bathrooms, they don't exist.

Gays and Women are still barely accepted in the military as well. Remember, the GOP is trying to bring back don't ask, don't tell and somehow expect women to be able to meet the male standards for military training even through a woman's body is pretty different from a man's for them to have the same training regimen. So it's not at all surprising tome that they want it to return to being a boy's club of like minded individuals Hell, in the military there's a racial divide as well,it's a perfect breeding ground for tribalism.


This is complete horseshit

It's not right to pull a "Don't ask don't tell" on transgender individuals. If we aren't even allowed to speak of it within the military, that's not just outright discrimination. That is revoking someone like me from fighting for the country that once gave me a freedom. But of course, those freedoms to aid my country are being revoked now. My protections within the schooling systems are being revoked. All care with this administration towards people like me are out the window.

I'm sorry Admiral. You know how I stand on even grounds typically. This is just bullshit. If you want to serve your country, it should be your choice to do it. I'm just as American as anyone else on CE or in this country. Fuck this administration.


You're an American who has a medical condition. This is not offensive or an insult, and I have absolutely no issue with you as a person, but it is a reality.

Being transgender is not the same as being gay, black, a woman, or anything else that just happens to be a characteristic of someone. It's a condition that requires things like hormone treatments (which might not easily be available if you're stationed in places like Afghanistan) and which also causes you to have rates of depression and suicide that are much higher than the population average, which is incredibly dangerous in the already high-stress, depression-prone positions in the military.

People with all types of medical conditions are not allowed to serve in the military. This is no different.


This "medical condition" does not in any way (nor has it ever) hindered a transgender individuals ability to handle a firearm. I want proof that this is a problem within the military.

Again as a resident and civilian of this nation, it is my (and anyone else's) right to fight to protect the freedoms of the country. (Well, the freedoms we used to have now apparently)

I can pull up like 5articles and 2 phone numbers of former spec ops or marines who transitioned afterwards.

And one of those numbers is of a close friend and she still trains with guns weekly.

This post was very well made. Can't argue with this one.

absolutely nothing wrong with that either. they aren't the male standards, they're just the standards.
