The movement would gain a lot more support and legitimacy if they dropped it, that's for damn sure.

I'm just curious, is there even one law or legal matter in which transexuals are treated unfairly?

Ban on military service, as one.

I'm too lazy to search for more.

Your picture is broken so I'm not sure if you're being serious or not.

Taking hormone pills and becoming moody doesn't help the military function.

They said letting gays serve openly would disrupt military function as well.

I've yet to see an impact.

Obviously you're not interested in actually talking about this.

Please stop.

Gays aren't taking hormone pills and altering their bodies. Gays can also be masculine, while transexuals either want to be or have been a female in the past, which ultimately puts you at a disadvantage.

And your scientific source is...where?

Dustin actually has a good point.

They can't be taking those medication while in the military. Thats just dangerous.

Dressing up as a female and going against army regulation is clearly going to get you kicked out.

Lol

I'm assuming you mean trying to wear the uniform by female standards, since I can't recall crossdessing on your own time being against the UCMJ like sodomy once was and adultery still is.

Thats all good.

They just can't be acting like a female, or want to go through basic in a female group. They'd have to perform all the man's requirements, since they are technically and biologically male.

I'm genuinely asking, because apparently there are trans-experts on the forum who know all about this.

Because it's part of the LGBT movement and Transgenders are apart of that movement.

I don't know what it means to "feel" like the opposite gender. How do you define this feeling and know you're not misguided? I don't "feel" like a man or a woman, I just am. Being attracted to the same sex just means you're gay.

I can't say it's something I understand, either, since I haven't been there, but what I do know is it isn't a decision made lightly and doctors and psych specialists are usually involved.
