[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Veteran and I think this was a reasonable policy change.

Transgender persons, in my observations (admittedly only a few, in the last couple years before I separated from service) have a negative effect on small unit cohesion and moral, especially with younger enlisted personnel.

I have no issue with transgendered persons, I just don't think they belong in the military, because they have detrimental effect on other members who serve with them. I've seen this firsthand, and no amount of study-citing or name calling will convince me otherwise.

Unless you've served, frankly, your opinion isn't even valid. [/quote]

Well, I served.  A full career actually. So by your rules, my opinion counts, the genetic fallacy notwithstanding.   There are trans people serving now and they have served in the past.  if you think 18-year olds have a problem with trans people, you don't know many 18 year olds.  It's the older generation that objects to this policy.  Your convenient rejection of all contrary objective evidence in advance pretty much is the giveaway about where you stand, I won't bother with any facts. [/quote]
