Umm ... you never complete the hormones. It's lifetime maintenance.

I think you are right. Let's follow Mike Pence's lead and provide electro-shock therapy to see if we can get their minds right.
No one is saying they can't be transgendered. We are saying the taxpayers should not pay for the surgeries.
That isn't what the President is proposing. He is willfully removing thousands of active patriots (something he never did) from service. It has nothing to do with surgeries and everything to do with hate and fear-mongering.
Thousands?? So now there are thousands of transgendered persons in the military. Lol

The same "Williams Institute" did a study and found that 0.3% of the 340 million Americans are Transgender. That is 102,000 and according to the PP they all are in the military. LOL!
Where did you pull that from. The numbers I have seen are 10,000-15,000. My husband has one in his reserve unit. He says it is no big deal.
My active duty son says it's a huge deal.
Asthma = can't serve
Trans = can serve.
You're intolerance is showing.
A person with asthma has a physical condition that may limit his/her ability to function in a combat setting.
A person who is transgender and has no physical illnesses or limitations can serve perfectly well in combat.
Were I on the battlefield, I'd rather have an able-bodied transgendered person fighting alongside me than an asthmatic man or woman.
Np. We don't all die in the alter of "tolerance." Some of us, thankfully, know that there are far more important things to consider.
Mom of three military kids here. All three support the rights of LGBTQ service members. A person with asthma probably has no business being in the military. Breathing is important. Being able to pass a PT test is required. I can't imagine how a penis or lack of a penis would affect physical conditioning or combat readiness. Your active duty son should understand that.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/26/trump-transgender-military-ban-behind-the-scenes-240990
House Republicans were planning to pass a spending bill stacked with his campaign promises, including money to build his border wall with Mexico.
But an internal House Republican fight over transgender troops was threatening to blow up the bill. And House GOP insiders feared they might not have the votes to pass the legislation because defense hawks wanted a ban on Pentagon-funded sex reassignment operations — something GOP leaders wouldn’t give them.
They turned to Trump, who didn’t hesitate. In the flash of a tweet, he announced that transgender troops would be banned altogether.
Trump’s sudden decision was, in part, a last-ditch attempt to save a House proposal full of his campaign promises that was on the verge of defeat, numerous congressional and White House sources said.
Everybody arguing that the ban is being implemented for enhancing the military's combat effectiveness can shut up now.
It's all for the wall.

Most people, including gay people, do not lump transgender in with gay issues.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is making a shambles of the press briefing today. She doesn't know what will happen to current transgender members of the military and has said the White House and DoD will now figure how to implement the ban (of course this should have been done first). She even threatened to stop the briefing if anymore questions about the transgender ban were asked.
The clown show is in full swing.

If you think anything at all about this is ok, there is something seriously wrong with you. Even if you don't believe people who are transgender should serve in the military, surely you understand that tweeting military policy is ri-damn-diculous.
I'm convinced that trump is mentally ill.
