Why are they tip toeing around the elephant in the room? Transgenderism is a mental illness. We simply cannot have known he/she’s running around causing all kinds of disruption with a known mental illness in our armed forces. They do remember the key word is “armed” in armed forces right?
I bet there aren’t any tranny’s who are not seeing a shrink. They are all confused about their gender which is the first thought they have in the morning and that continues until they fall asleep then they dream about it. Tranny’s are and will always be preoccupied with their gender confusion. They have no place in the military. If some company wants to hire them in the civilian world; good for them. The military is not a social experiment.

"They are all confused about their gender which is the first thought they have in the morning and that continues until they fall asleep then they dream about it."
You seem to think a lot about trannys yourself. What was that you said about mental illness? I hope you're not in the military.
Please provide the credentials that would qualify you to have an opinion on what is, and is not, a mental illness. Failing that, please cite the studies that would support that conclusion. Failing that, please explain how your belief in your own infallibility on the subject is not delusional.
There aren't any "trannies" in the military. There are pilots, tacticians, marksmen, communications specialists, officers, and a host of other jobs. If they're willing to sacrifice themselves to keep the rest of us safe, you'd have to be a complete asshole for criticizing them for something unrelated to their job in the military.
...er...am I describing you?
Why are they tiptoeing around the elephant in the room? Narcissism is a mental illness. We simply cannot have a known narcissist running the country causing all kinds of disruption. I bet there aren't any narcissists who are seeing a shrink. Narcissists are and will always be preoccupied with themselves. They have no place in the government. If they want to run some company in the civilian world, good for them. The Presidency is not a social experiment.
Fixed.

But if anyone else with a known mental illness* is prevented from buying a gun, they'd be able to hear your shrieks on Mars.
*ignoring the fact that being trans isn't actually a mental illness
Hey dumbass: they're serving right now. Sure, it's less than 1% (which, despite personal experience, is actually not far removed from general population statistics [my friend group seem to be outliers]), but they're there. And they serve just fine.
I say as long as someone can do the job, let them do the job, especially if they do it well. All other factors are irrelevant to hiring.

Wouldn't you be confused if you woke up every morning in the body of the opposite gender? Not to mention you have most of society telling you that you should remain whatever gender you were born with.
And the way I see it, if they want to serve their country and are willing & able to do so to the best of their ability, then let them. There's no reason to kick out willing volunteers. And as a veteran, I hate this idea that all military personnel and veterans are heroes, but only if they're straight, cisgendered, and Christian. I also hate the idea that if you're gay or transgendered it renders you unfit to serve. As if sexual orientation or gender identity prevents you from being able to pull a trigger or push a button to launch a missile.
I personally don't object to referring to gender dysphoria as a mental illness, as it does cause psychological distress in those who have it. That being said, ADHD and autism are also mental illnesses, and people with both can serve. Simply screaming "MENTAL ILLNESS" is not an argument, unless you think that Freudian bullshit can cure the transgenders and the gays.
Since Trump's ban was announced, I've seen a number of friends on Facebook share posts by a few transwomen and a transman. None of them looked like the stereotypical college social justice type that Boomer is no doubt imagining all trans service members look like.
Personally, I don't think Trump has any personal animosity towards gay people or transpeople, given his history before running for President, but as President, he is now in political debt to people who are hateful. Only this ban was not a good idea. If he wanted to throw red meat to the base, he could have simply declared that the military will not cover hormone/replacement therapy, or implemented some policy to make things really difficult for trans people. By banning all trans people, he's ensured that the inevitable challenge will be led by the most ideal test case you can imagine (like, say, the people shared on my Facebook feed).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
