Never said it’s similar to asthma, but trans people do have to take hormones for the rest of their lives, and there’s a lot of disqualifiers for military service
as it is. It’s not like joining a health spa. It’s not just the lives of trans, it’s the lives of everyone in the unit. And I know that combat units won’t be able to handle that yet. And you may say that they should, but you can’t just throw one in there and expect them to handle it, especially when it’s a job that deals with life and death.
You don’t understand. You’re just a virtue signaler that won’t volunteer to join the military.
Do I care? Nope. But i wouldn’t have a problem if there’s a waiver, and keeps them out of combat arms. Can’t take hormones when you’re in a long ass firefight or skirmish. Can’t stop evading from an enemy threat just so you can administer those meds. Convoys won’t risk driving over IEDs just to deliver them.
They’d be better suited for support roles if anything.
Keep being butthurt about stuff you don’t understand.
Imagine calling some a “virtue signaler” and then saying the words “Do I care? Nope.” Lmao.
So, what’s weird to me is that these people seemed to do just fine in the military, and are now being booted for being trans. So, what’s the problem? I mean, the obvious flaw is that not all trans people have to take hormones, and this ban targets people who don’t take hormones the same as those that do. But even if they did have to take hormones, they were doing fine before, so what’s the issue?
It seems silly to me that the military, with record low recruitment, would ban a population that has a far higher degree of joining them due to a lot of really shitty factors.
Trans people were always joining the military at higher rates, and the reasons why are obvious. They were only able to be openly trans recently, but they have been able to be closeted trans since always. Just like gay people. Don’t ask, don’t tell, amirite?
When the government literally advertises the military as super masculine, you’re gonna get a lot of people that are either really into being ultra masculine and people that feel like they aren’t being masculine enough, which are certainly attributes that are likely to fit with people that feel gender dysphoria.
The other reason, of course, is that LGBT people are far more likely to be homeless from being cut off from their friends and family and have few alternatives, and the military is certainly one of the more effective ways to improve your economic situation.
Do you even know what the real issue is?

They were able to join because the military lowered their standards because of the low recruitment numbers lol

This ain’t rocket surgery.
