A very interesting article by former trans woman, Walt Heyer. He explains, from experience, the physical and emotional trauma transgenders experience, and how it would not add to their effectiveness as soldiers, in fact it would drastically reduce their readiness. He also explains that the projected $3-4 billion dollar (!) 10 year cost does not take into account the many transgenders who regret their decision, then spend thousands of dollars to reverse the transition. http://dailysignal.com/2017/07/26/w...y-to-pay-for-sex-changes-would-be-disastrous/ He will no doubt receive death threats from the loving left, for his treachery and hatred for the LGBT community he was once a part of. What do you guys think of his statements?
Whatever form an actual transgender ban may take, it’ll put heroes and patriots on the rocks. One of those heroes is Kristin Beck, a retired Navy SEAL whose 20 years of service included more than a dozen deployments, a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, and time on the esteemed SEAL Team 6. She’s also openly trans, and proud of it. Beck told HuffPost that she wants to meet Trump face to face, because his idea of her community is warped. “If he’s basing all of his perception of transgender people on Caitlyn Jenner ― who is a millionaire and a TV star ― he’s not getting the right picture,” Beck said. “I work on a farm with chickens and horses. I grew up poor, on government cheese and powdered milk. I’m not pretty, I’m not a movie star, I’m a retired Navy SEAL. ... I fought for America. As a president, he should be fighting for and defending every American. I’m an American. Why not fight for me?”
Hard to argue with someone who has the life experience, no? But I agree, he'll be completely ostracized by the LGBT folks because his views are unacceptable...
What about him? Was he openly trans when he served? No. Will people be banned from service for being in the closet trans? No. They will just have to identify with their biology, not what They want.
