The military discriminate. Every job in the world discriminates. In the military they discriminate against age 16-32 for example. They discriminate against people with disabilities of varying levels. Put simply this is because the main role of the military is to engage in war. So they pick from a niche of people that fit the criteria. It used to be a place where pc points weren't being scored, however that now is no longer the case. And every Tom dick and Harry wants to stick their ore in and tell those in the job, how their job should be run....as clearly indicated by some of the numpties on this feed. It is not that the military hate individuals who are transgender, just as they don't hate every person 40+ who do attempt to join, but are turned away. There are many reasons as to why Donald Trump has chosen this decision and i for one am in favour....however as of yet, I've heard no real reason for the against...apart from "Why shouldn't they?!"....just because the accountancy firm down the street does. It is a completely unique environment and is nothing like the everyday civi jobs. So if you're not educated on both sides of the argument....don't even bother giving your opinion, your opinion is flawed.
