    Beginning today, transgender individuals will be allowed to join the U.S. military, after the Pentagon was forced to comply with a federal court ruling issued last month. http://abcn.ws/2ErKmXy pic.twitter.com/7gZr1DroiU

        There’s only one all-male basic, everything else is co-ed. The bigger issue is the infrastructure needed..just as we need to “protect” a trans person feelings, we also need to protect the men and women that don’t feel comfy showering next to someone with different genitalia, etc

        "Forced" to comply. Sorry, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff were going to ignore the issue, since Transgender issues before in the Korean War and WWII were no problem...they fought like anybody else. Duh!

        Yes, Chiefs have already come out in support of Transgender Service Members so "being forced" is incorrect. It's part of our values system to support them, we don't need to be "forced" to do it.

        When someone saves your life in battle, I don’t think one would care if he were straight, gay, transgender or bisexual

        Thank you Evelyn. My thoughts exactly. The only thing that should be said is "thank you for serving OUR country". I am grateful for their willingness to serve. 🇺🇸❤️💙

        You do realize they have been serving already and our military has been perfectly fine. Also gays and lesbos have been serving with no ill effect. The only people who think otherwise are bigots.

        I find it funny you all claim it as mental illness. When was the last time a transgender committed a mass shooting. Bigotry is a mental illness as well. So maybe you should be banned from things too. Just saying.

        Dumb argument. What does one have to do with the other? Absolutely nothing.

        They are both mental illnesses. So how is it two different things. So one type of mental illness is ok while the other is not.

        Its your argument that is stupid considering that they already serve. You all used the same arguement when homosexuals were allowed to serve. And look what happened after they were permitted to serve. Abdolutely nothing.
