Trump Announces Ban on Transgender People in US Military

[PAOerfulone]

It shouldn't matter if an individual is male, female, or transgender. Just like it shouldn't matter if they are gay, straight, or bisexual. White, Black, Latino, or Orange with Blue stripes, whatever you may call it. If that individual is physically and mentally able and willing to serve in their military, they should be allowed to do so. This ban is not even giving those people the chance to do so. "They will not mentally be able to serve." How do you know? Why don't you give them a shot? You can dress this up as much as you'd like, at the bottom line, this is discrimination in its purest form. You are forbidding an individual from taking part in something that is important to them, even if he/she is perfectly capable of doing so, just because of how they identify themselves sexually. Why should that matter in regards to how well they can perform the task given to them? It's like saying this game developer can't be hired by this game company because she's a female and the company only hires males, and that she would hold the team back because of reasons relating to her gender, even if she is just as skilled if not more skilled as a developer than they are. Whatever excuses they have for justifying this ban are exactly that, excuses.
