        Although DOJ is saying the new policy will be disclosed on Feb. 21, per the judge, the Pentagon was less date-specific, noting only that Mattis would give a recommendation later this month and then Trump would have to make the final call.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-trump-administration-plans-to-announce-and-defend-a-new?utm_term=.dhK25gYy6#.buyLByXaN …

        We also, obviously, have no idea, substantively, what the policy recommendation or new policy will be.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-trump-administration-plans-to-announce-and-defend-a-new?utm_term=.dhK25gYy6#.buyLByXaN …

        What about all the people who join the military to have college covered? Why is that more ethical than joining so transition is covered?

        If we’re being super objective about it, a college education is almost uniformly regarded as a benefit to society. Transition surgery is not. I personally couldn’t care less, but there is a stigma there that makes one far more comfortable than the other.

        My apologies. I guess I assumed preventing someone’s suicide is a societal benefit.

        Nope. You discuss societal benefit of a financial investment such as college. The financial investment of transition produces another still-living member of our society. That’s a net benefit.

        A benefit that many don’t understand or, in some cases, approve of for various reasons. I’m not defending it, just pointing out that one is far less controversial than the other.

        I’m assuming there’s also an issue with it being a surgical procedure vs a simple payout, but I don’t know how that conversation is going in the military.

        So not “Defend Transgenders” but “Defend discrimination” against Transgenders? So much for there being no better friend to the #LGBTQ community. @realDonaldTrump #LittleDonnie #CadtBoneSpurs.

        You’re super wise to know what “GOD” actually wants. So you should also know if a post-menopausal woman can have a period or give birth? Have you ever had a haircut? Did “GOD” ordain it or did you chose to alter your body?
