I don't care if the cause is genetic, epigenetic, psychological, environmental or some combination of the above, if you have the body of one sex and feel like you are something else, a wire is not connected properly somewhere.

There are too many examples of people thinking they are something they are not in non sexual areas and we readily admit it's a mental disorder. The only reason we don't admit it when it comes to transgender is because of left wing political pressure. If anything, these people deserve compassion, help, or to be left alone if they are happy in that state, but I don't think most are fit for military duty (albeit with some exceptions).

As expected, the ban is shot down.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia found the administration’s justification for the ban, which was set to take effect in March 2018, to be suspect and likely unconstitutional. She ruled that the military’s current policy should remain in place.

“There is absolutely no support for the claim that the ongoing service of transgender people would have any negative effective on the military at all,” the judge wrote in a strongly worded, 76-page ruling. “In fact, there is considerable evidence that it is the discharge and banning of such individuals that would have such effects.”

I dont have a problem with transgenders, but have the surgery on your dime and your time. That's what I have a problem with.

Judge rules there will be no stay on the earlier injunction against Trump's order:

This is what we get when we allow people to try to normalize a mental illness, which in this case is body dysmorphia.
