That's why I think this question is best left up for our military leaders to decide. There are things that we as civilians who have never gone to war or examined all the possibilities can understand. We just have to trust that they will form their decision objectively based on what is best for the effectivrness of the military, not based on political correctness or on prejudice against trans folks.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
