Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
My gut instinct is to ban some of the people in this post. I don't want them here, I think they're clearly damaged and prejudiced individuals with a degree of self-loathing and as the forum owner, I don't want them near me. Then my more logic head comes in - I don't think we'll change anybodies attitudes, they're far past that, but by banning them I'm not making them get any form of justification or feel like they're martyred. They can engage as long as they stay within the rules.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
Bailey Love & Taryn Elizabeth as well...but I don't think any of them transitioned until after they got out of the military.
I would think that joining the military in order to get cheap transitioning surgeries, medical and psychological care is a strange concept and a really really hard way to get it done.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
A conversation can make the readers re-evaluate as well as the writers. It's nice to have a foil, unless they heckle, advocate or practice behaviors that really cross the line, I say keep 'em around.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
He's got as much chance of implementing this bullshit as he does bringing back Jim Crow laws. I guarantee you somebody will shoot it down, just like they did his ridiculous travel bans.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
A ban on new transgender recruits is now official, but it seems the military will have some leeway in dealing with those already serving. https://www.vox.com/world/2017/8/25/...house-pentagon
