"It is estimated that there are more inter-sexed people than left handed people."
I am not sure where you are getting your facts from, but left-handed people represent 10% of the population, while transgenders equate to 0.6% of the population.
That is a huge part of the problem. The way the media showcases the "T" portion of the LGBTQ (xyz) along with a lot of propaganda in America has people thinking that this abnormality within society is now the new "normal". If a person wants to cut off a limb to identify as an amputee, you would call that a mental illness. When a person wants to cut and mutilate their genitalia, you call that heroic.
It is more of a distraction than anything. How long does it take to recover from this surgery? How many visits to a shrink do they have to do in order to get the surgery approved? All those appointments represent lost training, and possibly missed deployment time.
This is a headache that civilians that will never serve this country are bickering over, and for what? The supposed "right" for an extreme abnormality within society to serve? Let me explain to you that the military is not a "right" in this country. They discriminate openly against fat people, disabled people, and mentally ill people. The military is not a damn social experiment...
rant off.
Sorry if I came off a little harsh, but I am passionate about this topic as it is distracting to the ones actually serving, not just to me. This subject has been ran down the back of their throats ever since Obama did what he did while in office. His attempt to turn our war apparatus into a circus side-show....
