Decades? You're talking out of your ass. In 2016, obama told the pentagon to lift the ban on trans being allowed into the military and they had until july 2017 to finish implementing the change. So yes it basically yesterday.

Don't say there's no proof of their mental health issues when they have a very high suicide rate and the root of their issues is gender dysphoria which is a mental disorder which in turn causes other mental issues. 

They've been there for decades, yes.  They just had to keep things to themselves.  However, they have contributed highly to our military.  Please watch this:

Trans is different than a sexual orientation. They had gender dysphoria and were quiet about it but they weren't technically trans. They acted and looked like the gender they were born as so a good chunk of the problems that would come from trans being in the military wouldn't happen. I get what you're saying but my points still stand.
