[quote=Anonymous][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]

Your last sentence is very interesting.  I wonder why then men seem fit to pass abortion laws, people who have not been affected by gun violence seem fit to pass gun laws, non-parents seem fit to pass laws re children, able bodied seem fit to pass laws affecting the disabled, etc.   Hmmm.

"I have no issue with transgendered (black, women, Jews, someone born in another country, gays, etc), I just don't think they belong in the military because they have detrimental (what) effect on other members who serve with them".  Like Pence isn't allowed to eat meals alone with women who aren't his wife because that has a detrimental effect on him and his lack of self control.  Like the military should spend exponentially more than it costs for medical care for transgendered to cover erectile disjunction medication for military members (guess only the men count) because in order to properly serve and fight a war you need to have an erection at will? That sounds more like a distraction to me. Sorry man, I can't cover you or help you because I'm impotent.  [/quote]

Clearly, PP, has never served and understands nothing about those who do serve where POCs, gay, straight, or transgendered.    [/quote]
