http://Ban Was Lifted, but Transgender Recruits Still Can’t Join Up https://nyti.ms/2lW4ARt
Dave Philipps of Colorado Springs Gazette and TNYT describes experiences of transgender applications to military being asked for extra rounds of medical records with few being accepted. The article cites a RAND study that no issues found service of 2,000 to 11,000 accepted after 2016 ban lifted. What do you think?

I think it’s a bad idea to let someone with known mental problems into the military. Even John Hopkins University who founded the trans-gender clinics who closed all of their clinics and said there is nothing we can do to help them. It is a mental problem not a physical problem.

I personally have no issues with transgender serving, at least they do, more than I can say about others.

Yeah, until the gunfire starts and you’re left without support. My nephew is a transgender. You don’t want him watching your back.

Have many transgender friends in the military, some active duty, ones deployed currently, and others who freak out at the sound of fireworks. Assuming you'll be left alone because of your nephews actions, I assume, is completely unreasonable and makes little sense.
Besides, there's mentally unstable people who AREN'T transgender and, yet, are somehow in with zero barriers. I'd much rather trust a transgender person, who wants to serve a country that's making it increasingly clear they aren't 100% wanted, than a racist who makes it clear they don't want me nearby.
