By what definition? I find the declaration very similar to Rachel Dolezal. She dressed the part and acted the part but no matter what, she is not a black woman. I'll give you another example of why I don't accept the designation. I realize that Bruce Jenner doesn't speak for all transgenders but when he claimed that it was so tough to be a woman because the most difficult decision of the day is trying to decide what to wear, I know this is a person who is not a woman and cannot understand what it is to be a woman.
You have a cognitive dysfunction, don't you? Tell me how much the average monthly medical cost is for generals and admirals... should they be automatically kicked out because they're more expensive? Like I said... the prohibition was not issued against people with mental health issues, but people who happen to be transgender. The former is legal, the latter is bigotry.
Let me rephrase since you missed the point (as unsurprising as that was)... If people like Beck are men, anyway, and secure with their own identities, then why should they be kicked out of the military?
What Trump said yesterday was that transgenders should not be in the military. He made no comment about what if anything should be done about those already in. I don't believe that anybody already in the military who is meeting standards should be kicked out for being a transgender. I also don't believe that the military should spend any money in helping someone to transition while they are in the military.
But you're cool with spending 5 times more on viagra or 28 million on Afghanistan military's uniforms. Yeah that's money well spent isn't it.
