I've read that it's closer to 6k. Either way, thousands of people serving their country honorably. This is one of them...

Tell me you wouldn't want her, or Caitlyn Jenner, a fucking Olympic gold medalist, by your side? I'll take that over some of the sluggos that enlist.
Kristen is a hero for sure, but you can keep Caitlyn Jenner. She's an Aunt Tom as far as I'm concerned.

Every single transgender person I've known has been better at life than me (and I don't do too bad myself). Upon meeting a transgender person, it is safe to assume the person you're meeting is no coward right out of the gate. I can't even imagine the courage it must take to deal with those circumstances so honestly.
Yes. Unfortunately a high rate of suicide as well. Understandable considering the stigma, but the ones that are able to persevere have to be exceptionally strong people. Sounds like an ideal military candidate to me!

Watching the news right now, and friggin Orrin Hatch and McCain are opposing Trump on this. Pretty tough to be to the right of those two on anything.

Yeah, I figured 15k must be bullshit. I'm not against it as long as they do their job, but I can see it being a problem with homophobic people turned cold blooded killers.

Friendly fire does happen pretty frequently makes you wonder how many are actually accidents.

Nope, most trans folks aren't prostitutes, nice try though. Who's this hard worker you know so well?
Most trans folk I actually met are. Which is another reason I want legal prostitution it's very dangerous for them.

The hard worker is an old friend of my wife's.

I had a transgender woman as a neighbor for a couple of years. She thwarted a break in at my house by calling the cops and then making her presence known while she waited. I got to know her pretty well. My daughter stays in touch with her. Amazing neighbor and woman. I'd go to battle with her sooner than I would with ANY Trumptard.

Hatch's comments shocked me! I'd say he's evolved some!

Yeah, no doubt there will always be homophobic people. A transgender person is well aware of this, and I'm sure weighs that in their descison to enlist as well.

I agree that *any* person that joins the military should be able to perform their duties competently. That should be the bottom line.

Sexual orientation is not a disability.
