You mean, we still have those in the military who know the difference between a boy and a girl? Actually, I thought Obama purged all of them.

People with such mental issues should not be allowed in the military. If they can identify as a different sex, then they can also decide in the midst of battle that they’re fighting for the enemy.

They have zero authority to stop the President from regulating immigration, but the law only says what they say it says.

“Took awhile to realize why I was creeped out.”

We spend a whole lifetime seeing and internalizing what is “normal.” I am using normal here to mean the most likely thing, not psychologically normal, which is something else. Determining what is normal is important and necessary because evolution has imprinted on our genes that something that doesn’t fit the pattern may be lethal. This is also the heart of “prejudice,” meaning in this case I have already encountered this type person, place or thing and I have prejudged whether it is dangerous or not. Suddenly realizing that the woman next to you when you are naked is really a man, or, the opposite in my case, would cause me to become hyper alert for danger. It’s the sudden realization at an organic level that something is wrong. Your fight or flight mechanism should be triggered.

I think our culture is becoming increasingly crazy, simply throwing aside logic, reason and millions of years of evolved instincts just so liberals can play with our heads.

“The Defense Department estimates as many as 7,000 transgender troops serve in the active-duty force of 1.3 million.”

Not sure I believe this. I guess the majority are going to be butchy women or something?

The Defense Department estimates as many as 7,000 transgender troops serve in the active-duty force of 1.3 million.

That's .05% -- half of one percent. Assuming that the "estimate" is accurate and not wildly inflated for political reasons.

If it's a true number, my guess is that the majority of them were female at birth.

I hope this is over turned. Get these mentally ill folks out. And get the homosexuals out as well and women out of Infantry, Armor and Artillery.

In a normal world, they wouldn’t, but we are way past that now.

The whole article should be read.

It's good, good news.

One paragraph:

President Donald Trump does not share his predecessor's view on transgender rights, while plenty in the ranks and inside the Pentagon have questioned the practicality of expending such effort to accommodate a comparatively small demographic. Those advocating for inclusiveness have suspected for many months that the administration could bring about the initiative's demise simply by declining to act upon it.

People who are so confused they reject the reality of what is in their underwear have no business in the military.
They belong in the looney bin.

Not being a lawyer I'm having trouble imagining how the Federal courts would deny the Commander-In-Chief's authority regarding recruiting and retention.

You actually believe that today's courts follow the Constitution and the law. If only that were true.
