Transgenderism is not a psychiatric condition or a mental disorder, it is an identity people are born with and can't do anything about.

Then why is it classified as such?

@voldothegr8

It isn't. It was declassified as a mental disorder by the DSM four years ago in light of modern biological and neurological research.

https://thinkprogress.org/apa-revises-manual-being-transgender-is-no-longer-a-mental-disorder-8b0321f775d2

Science has shown people with gender dysphoria are born with it, probably due to genetic or natal-hormonal factors. It isn't something that's curable. It's beyond a person's control.

TBH there's no reason to ban transgenders from the military... if they are unfit to serve then higher ups can deal with that

But how is the ban any different than people who are medicated for ADHD not being allowed to join the military?

I don't think people understand that just because there wasn't a ban before doesn't mean that trans people were necessarily protected in the military. They could easily have been kicked out by biased superiors for reasons that didn't necessarily have to do with their performance.

Why are trans people unqualified for military service all of a sudden?

That wasn't the case yesterday.


Why were blacks?
Why were gays?
Why were/are women?

Apparently soldiers are distracted very easily

Name A time when blacks were ever barred from joining the military?

Is this supposed to be some sort of meaningful retort when you know much of their history in the military had them segregated?

I am sure this sounded clever in your head. But why does someone have to crusade for something BEFORE the issue is created to be "creditable".

You're not going to find a lot of people who are against the banning of transgendered people serving in the Military before the government purposed the banning of transgendered people serving in the Military. Might have something to do with the fact that prior to this transgendered people weren't banned from serving in the Military.

These sorts of rights have been an issue for a long time. It didn't just begin today. My point is that most of the people commenting on this are doing it for selfish reasons only to use it as ammo in their eternal and idiotic political mudslinging feud.
