Seems to me that the problem in this world, in this situation, lies more with the people who want to exclude rather than the people who want to be included.

If you're male, female, black, white, purple, gay, transgender or whatever: if you want to put your life on the line and defend this country, you should be able to do it.
Amen. How many of these self-righteous, uninformed bigots who support this are willing to put their lives on the line for our country.
Not sure if this is aimed at me but I already did...US Navy 88-93 oh and Im not a bigot...Im simply saying the military's infrastructure isnt ready for trannys...They barely have the capacity to put straight men and women on Navy ships and women who serve in combat roles who are deployed in the other branches

Every parent in the history of the world thinks their kids generation is stupid and every kid thinks their parents are stupid...Look at how much society has changed since the 1950's...or even just from the 90's...society is becoming more acceptable of things than they ever have before...30 years ago gays would get the [BLEEP] beat out of them and no one cared...no one would listen...the cops would say well then dont be gay and this wont happen...
What I'm getting at is that people change very slowly, every new generation becomes more accepting of things the previous generation would not accept and it takes a long time...It took a very long time before white people and black people could crap in the same toilet, drink out of the same water fountain, go to the same schools and what not... There were people screaming for change, but again, it was the younger generation, and only when they came into their own did they make things change...This is whats happening now...
I know. I'm making reference here to the fact that it strikes me as insane that someone who is willing to lay their life down for their country is being told that they aren't good enough to do so.
I dont think that its because they arent good enough, I just dont think the military is ready to be that liberal...It's very hard to change things in the military...The military is built on honor and tradition...It's incredibly hard to get new ideas and standards implemented...It has taken many decades to get women on combat ships and some still oppose it...Now we have women serving in combat roles who deploy with the men...That has been hotly contested and the fight still rages on...
I dont think the military knows how to deal with the trannys and how to house them aboard Navy ships and deployments in the other branches...
