NEW YORK (Reuters) - A majority of Americans believe that transgender individuals should be allowed to serve in the military, according to an exclusive Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday.

The July 26-28 poll suggested that the country largely disagrees with President Donald Trump's announcement this week that he will ban transgender personnel from the armed forces.

When asked to weigh in on the debate, 58 percent of adults agreed with the statement, "Transgender people should be allowed to serve in the military." Twenty-seven percent said they should not while the rest answered "don't know."

Why do Trump and his cultists insist on policies based on spite??

Probably because the American public doesn't know all the risks associated with transgender military service.

It's crazy to me that even 40% oppose it.

"I calibrate radars at an airbase."

"WHAT GENTIALS DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE!?"

"Erm... What oes that have to do with..."

"If you think differently to what you were born with then you should be banned from fixing those radars."


It's like the definition of a non-seqituir

I served and i'd have no issue with this at all personally. Financially isn't an argument either as they spend billions upon billions on weapons and vehicles, a few dollars for hormones or whatever treatment and medicine may apply is virtually nothing to them. Every American has the right to want to fight for their country, patriotism shouldn't be separated against race, gender, or sexual orientation, and anything inbetween. I considered every man and woman I served with as equals. We are all on the same team.

I thought it was funny the day Trump said it though that all these people who hate the military all of a sudden were in an outrage.

It's a good thing trans aren't allowed to serve, less people needlessly dying for these pigs.

No, it's just a disproportionate amount.

One of Trump's largest group of supporters are the religious right. He mainly tweeted that trans ban to get them to praise him after the latest healthcare failure. It worked.

That will be what happens when Trump fails to succeed in one of his goals he will then throw a group of people under the bus to hear cheers from his supporters. Sadly that's easier then trying to get more people to like you.

That's not why, otherwise groups like black people and Jews would have disproportionately high suicide rates, groups that historically have had it far worse than transgenders ever have.

So a poll conducted in one of the biggest gay-friendly cities in the country still barely managed to get 60% support for transgender military service. What does that tell you?

It wasn't conducted in a city, but even worse:

The Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll was conducted online in English across the United States.


No wonder.

There is no way this is accurate on a national level. 60% of Americans don't even know what transgenders are.

Why are people opposed to it? I don't think you really should have a choice in the matter? People are signing up to fight for your country, and you're not going to support them? That's silly.

Are you saying that transgenders are mentally unstable or that people opposed to them joining are mentally unstable?

I love how after the civil rights movement effectively completely won after gay marriage was legalized and had no where else to go, the left had to make up an issue to rally behind and they chose transgenders.

More like the right had to find a new scapegoat, so they moved on to trans people.

You act like gays and transgenders haven't been enslaved, murdered, exterminated, gassed by societies. In addition, transgenders are shit upon by Jews and Blacks themselves, in addition to the rest of the world, so they don't even have a large community to have sanctuary with.
