It kinda does though since you agree they don't all have mental issues (we're progresssing), then there's no valid reason to kick out trans people who are capable, willing and don't suffer from mental issues.

So basically your argument comes down to, "I have no proof this is my opinion".  You state things as if they are fact but they are just your opinion.  You say they have high degree of this or that but you have nothing to back it up.  You paint a broad stroke on them as if you have any really knowledge and you make assumptions without any evidence.  

Next you make up your own story about a boss letting trans in because they are trans instead of meeting the same requirement as any other solider.  The reason you probably will not see any studies about trans in the military because they are just like Blacks, White Asian, Gay, Lesbian you name it.  Your whole opinion as painting them all as having some mental disorder is the classic way people have painted any group to not be included.  Since the military already have it's standards on what it takes to be in service all the things you listed would already be address.  

The main issue is that until President Trump actually bring out supporting information for his ban instead of that garbage he put on Twitter everything said is just empty assumption on very little real knowledge.

When it came to the military record for Trump, he chickened out.

He's an all-American turkey

That's why I mentioned orientation. It's related to this but different. A person who has gender dysphoria disorder doesn't mean they are a trans person by default. Unlike a gay person, there's a lot more choice involved in this. A trans person is someone who wants to or is transitioning into the gender they identify as. Transitioning is one of the most popular way for a person with gender dysphoria to cope with the disorder or alleviate the symtoms of the disorder but it's not the only way from I what I understand of it.  I think the military's problem is with the ones choosing to transition, not necessarily the ones with the dysphoria. I'm not 100% on where they drew the line before but I'll check up on it if this keeps going on. 

I'm not saying that trans people or people with gender dysphoria wouldn't be of any contribution at all or of great contribution to the military but there's no real pragmatic solution with incorperating them into the military if they choose to transition or transitioned before or walk around as their oppisite sex.  

Personally, I don't care if a person with gender dysphoria joins the military or is in the military just so long as they are not transitioning or dress as their oppisite sex. I think that's what they did before obama changed the ban. Do what you want when you're out.

I never said I don't every generalize. *shrugs To answer your question, I don't know but I can have an opinion on what I think happens in that situation regardless if it's backed by data or not. 

Do I really need to put "I think" or "in my opinion" in the front of every sentence that consists of an opinion you don't like? I try to treat everyone as though they are intelligent enough to figure out when something I'm saying is an opinion or factual. People seem to nit pick more when they can't see the forest for the trees or they are trying to avoid the point. 

It's not supposedly done in business. It is. There's many cases of progessives and feminists complaining that businesses don't have enough women or minorities in that workplace or type of job which in turn often forces those employers to hire people from those groups for the sake of diversity. You can't achieve more diversity without picking people with that in mind. Why wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that this sort of thing works the same way in the military when the no trans ban is lifted by a progressive?  Again I have no proof on the military doing that. 

 Do you not know the definition of statement? It's definitely not " meant to be taken factually". Here it is for ya to remind you. "A definite or clear expression of something in speech or writing". A statement is still an opinion. Also, you're singling out sentences that were meant to be read with other sentences. It changes their meaning without the rest of it. 

My point about my stated opinions still being opinions still stands. 

The majority of the roles are not so dramatic as life or death situations. Alot of them are support related but alot of them are vital. I agree that there's no way they would hire someone for a role involving life or death situations if they were drastically unfit for that role or duty in general but if they had problems that would normally get them turned down, they'd might be let in anyway. That's why I brought up them lessing standards during times they need alot of troops or when they really need certain roles to show that they do that sometimes. They could get waivers for things that others might not get for as easily like criminal charges or health issues. There will likely never be any data or studies on this but I would like to see one. Anyway, I I think I'm done with this thread for a bit at least. I've been glued to my laptop, replying to people instead of watching hunter x hunter like I intended. Later, Hiku.

edit. i don't watch stuff like infowars or ancient aliens.

If Israel, our greatest ally, has zero issue with transgender soldiers, alongside 16 other countries, what makes us think they'll be issues with ours? In fact, we've had trans people in our military for years without any issues

There is a reason for that. When you have society constantly ridiculing your very existence... Bullying you... Well. It can make living less than pleasant.
Same goes for the LGBQI community as well... Because of the constant hate and ridicule they receive, they have a higher rate of suicide and mental illness.

How do you solve this? You don't exclude them for starters, that will only exacerbate the issue. In other words, people like you are the cause of it.

And let's be honest, unless you are part of the LGBTQI community, you shouldn't ever be under any assumptions of what it's like to be LGBTQI, think you know what is best for them and what rights they should have, because unless you live it... You don't really have a good grasp of any of it and thus shouldn't get a say IMHO.

This. It's not a sexual orientation. You can be trans and straight, trans and gay, trans and bi. You name it.

I have two really good Trans friends who wen't from female to male (And pull it off stupidly well.)
One is straight, only liking females... The other is Pansexual who likes almost everything.

That's a little bit of a generalization and not accurate.

There isn't an issue. This is largely just another result of Donald Trump's incopetence as a leader of a country, stepping above the democratic process in order to take away jobs from thousands of people.

The US looks like it is falling apart, all because of Trump. I don't think even Bush managed to cause such a decline in the worldwide perception of the country.

Hush, there are still people out there that believe transgender people started to join the army when Obama lifted the ban.
