these things have "gender dysphoria" and that is a MENTAL DISEASE...

Nicholas Bade showed up at an Air Force recruiting office on an icy morning in January, determined to be one of the first transgender recruits to enlist in the military.
He was in top shape, and had earned two martial arts black belts. He had already aced the military aptitude test, and organized the stack of medical records required to show he was stable and healthy enough to serve. So he expected to be called for basic training in a month, maybe two at the most.
Six months later, he’s still waiting. And so are nearly all other transgender recruits who have tried to join up since a federal court ordered the Trump administration not to ban them from the military.
The Obama administration announced a plan in 2016 for the armed services to begin accepting transgender recruits at the start of this year. But before the plan could take effect, President Trump abruptly reversed course, announcing on Twitter in July 2017 that the military would “no longer accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity,” because the military “cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.” Military leaders were given little notice of the change, which has left a wake of controversy and confusion.
Civil rights groups immediately sued, claiming that a blanket ban was unconstitutional, and the courts blocked the new rules. Three federal judges hearing separate cases issued injunctions against the ban last fall that cleared the way — in theory at least — for transgender recruits to start enlisting on Jan. 1.
Since then, scores have applied — but it appears almost none are being accepted.
The Defense Department refused requests for statistics on transgender enlistments.

A point I had not thought of ... Well done.
Just accept them, but put them all in their own “Tranny Brigade” and make sure they are the first ones airdropped behind enemy lines in any shooting war.
You mean two sexes. I am sure you don't wish to validate the terms of discourse dictated by profoundly disordered and malicious people.
The maintenance involved in keeping up the costumes on these freaks is far more than enough to keep them out of the Military, especially the cross-dressing men.
People are excluded from service for far less.
The mentally ill have no business consuming my tax monies or lowering my national defense capabilities so they can live a childish fantasy.
Might be healthy (for now), but stable?
Nothing stable about this defective human.
Transgenders are already in the Army. The benefits of it all go to them. The liabilities all to the Army and the taxpayers as they are not deployable, ever. Their entire time in the military is taken up with medical procedures and very long recoveries. As with queers with AIDS, they see the military as the way to get all their self inflicted- medical problems taken care of by us.
Yeah, the military is good at that.
A “stack” of medical records here seems to imply that there is a very large amount of them. That itself would indicate that “stable” is not an accurate term.
There are trannies in the military now, mostly “under medical care.” They are the troops who decide after they are in to change the little things.
I agree. I always say “sex” instead of “gender”, and “homosexual” rather than “gay”, since the lifestyle of male homosexuals is not conducive to happiness.
NY Slimes certainly skewed their article to make these transgender beings sound super healthy. Also, didn’t provide information that would tell the truth about their health.
2000-11,000 transgenders currently in the military? Yeah, I believe that.
Where do they house the transgenders? Are they housed with the opposite sex, which means they share bathrooms and showers (I’m thinking big sleeping rooms).

Serving your country requires sacrifices that narcissists are not able to conform to.
Killing people and destroying things is no place for social experimentation.
Let it go already, you stupid libs.
How about hot bunking on a submarine.....
Obama let them in. Where is the DOD Directive to accept them. Clinton started COED BCT, then DADT. Then GW Bush.
*Commander in Chief*
Please, Trump, just put that in a Tweet and say you have the constitutional authority over who may or may not enlist, just like you have the same constitutional authority over who may or may not come to this country. Just do that, and while a hell of a lot more communist heads will explode, maybe it will put a stop to a lot of the BS.
