“Thousands of transgender service members are currently doing the job, and doing it well, but are forced to do so in silence....”
How on earth could she know that? Its complete speculation.
My major objection to allowing gays openly serve in the military has been that it is very disruptive, and for the benefit of a few dozen people at most. I have seen half a dozen stories about specific individuals coming out as gay in the military - and assuming the media is turning over every rock to find these stories, I can safely assume that decades of studies, policy changes, congressional hearings, etc. were for the benefit of around a half dozen people - stupid.
And I’m quite sure there aren’t “thousands” of transgender freaks in the military either.
The most frequently cited number (which is still highly suspect) is 0.3% of our population is transgender. Of our 1.3 million troops, that would be 3,900 trannies in the ranks...if represented proportionately with the general population....which is very unlikely.
Yep, it’s not only complete speculation it’s total BS in my view. The vast majority of transgenders would have been outed so quick by straight troops it’d make it nearly impossible for them to have remained in service in the past.
Trans whatever types are not combat ready. They will never be. Throw them out now.
