"A regular person who has their level of mental health issues wouldn't be allowed in. Isn't that how identity politics work?"

I don't see how that changes the meaning of "They were allowed in because they were trans, not because they were qualified per se."?
That you specified what you meant by "not qualified"?

Since I specifically asked you "How it is you know that every transgender person with "that level" of mental issues is not turned away at the door like everyone else who fails the psychological evaluation?" I thought it was pretty clear that your reasoning for why they weren't qualified was understood.

Yes, that's the summarized version of the process. You're not quite choosing your roles but the roles you would like. Availability could change and you might not get the role ya want. It also depends on the branch of the military. It's been awhile since I checked into that stuff so that might have

Sure. But we know for a fact that there are transgender people in roles with life and death responsibility. Former Navy Seal Team 6 member Kristen Beck for example.

It's meant to be read together. You're fixating on that one part.

Was Kristen Beck trasistioning while she was on the seals team or before it or did she after?
