I am 100% for both military and transgender mind you. I have heard conflicting things about -why- they shouldn't be able to serve and I don't know how true it is. So in the American military you can be told no for medical issues and parental issues. IE if you have diabetes you can't join. If you are a single parent you can't join. This is for nearly the same reason. If deployed to no man's land in the middle of the night what are you going to do? Who are your kids going to and where are you going to stash your insulin? I've heard that transgender shouldn't/couldn't because they do need that steady dose of medicine to maintain it. If they get lost, shot down, end up somewhere away from medicine for so and so days/weeks what happens? This is where I am in uncharted grounds, if indeed the medicine stops will it hurt them or will it just mess with their bodies? Even asthma isn't allowed in the military for this reason. I would think that IF it did hurt them to be away from medical supplies then no they should play by the same medical rules everyone else plays by. If it doesn't hurt them physically then the military is playing that "if one can't join none can" and that's messed up.

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
