PLEASE TELL ME ONE, JUST ONE, GOOD REASON WHY WE SHOULD ALLOW TRANSGENDERISM IN THE UNITED STATES MILITARY
**Gold Star Given to Logical Responses**
President Donald Trump tweeted that he wouldn’t allow transgender individuals to serve in the military... and for good reason too.
Here are the 10 Reasons why Trump made the RIGHT decision (haters welcome to debate):
1. Paying for transition-related surgeries for military service members and their families is beyond comprehensible.
2. Perhaps they have forgotten that our military was forged to be the world’s strongest fighting force, not a government-funded, politically correct, medical sex change clinic for people with gender dysphoria.
3. Gender dysphoria, the common diagnosis for one who feels at odds with his or her birth gender, develops from prolonged anxiety and depression. People are not born that way. The “proof” for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria is having strongly held feelings—but feelings can and often do change over time.
4. The military is expected to prepare its members in warfare: to kill, destroy, and break our enemies. The most important factors in preparing a strong military are not hormone therapy, surgical sex changes, or politically correct education.
5. We need psychologically fit, emotionally sound, highly trained troops to protect our nation from its enemies.
6. While countless homeless vets are currently sleeping under cardboard boxes, or waiting for life-saving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs, we learn that transgender military recruits now qualify for preferential coverage for sex change procedures that are scientifically unproven and extremely costly.
7. Transitioning can be expensive—up to $130,000 per person for numerous body-mutilating and cosmetic procedures over many months (or years) to fashion the body to appear as the opposite sex.
8. The medical community continues to recommend this radical “treatment” in the absence of scientific evidence that people are better off in the long run. This population attempts suicide at a rate of 40 percent.Even after the full surgical change, they attempt to end their lives, or tragically succeed.
9. Over 60 percent of this diverse population suffer from co-existing mental disorders. Consider Bradley Manning (now Chelsea Manning), a former Army soldier who was so psychologically and emotionally unbalanced that he stole confidential documents from the military and forwarded them to WikiLeaks.
10. The Military Is a Fighting Force, Not a Gender Clinic Advocates are relentless in their pursuit of making others, via the government and insurance companies, cover the cost of sex change procedures. If the military had been forced to pay, the advocates would have used this as leverage to press every other entity—both government and commercial—to pay for sex change surgeries as well.
