How did that number get as high as 39%?

Probably a lot of lesbos in our military:

37 percent of male members approve of transgender troops, while 62 percent of females approve.

Because it’s the cool thing to be in favor of nowadays.

Plus lots are women, they probably figure they’re less likely to be harrassed by a Corporal Klinger impersonator than a real horny male.

And I suspect there’s a good fraction of responses from those who are either lying or just trolling the survey.

You have to wonder how the question was phrased and how “approved” is being defined.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It got that high because the gay troops vote, too.

Monty Python fans, no doubt.

It could be fake. I would expect the real approval number to be more like 1 to 3%.

"The survey was conducted by Smithsonian in conjunction with both Stars and Stripes– a publication of the Defense Department – and the Schar School at George Mason University." Probably plenty of Leftist activist in all of these organization.

Would be nice to see the actual poll and the numbers about who responded....

Given that opposing transgenders is likely to be a career-ender in the military, that's a good indicator of the percentage who value their careers more than the truth.
