Trump signs memo banning transgender service

Major difference between characteristics a person cannot control, such as race, and those caused by choices, such as transgenderism. The Services must continue to NOT discriminate based on race, color, religious belief, or national origin. It's entirely logical based on the necessity to provide a combat ready force to discriminate (tell the difference) based on physical characteristics, psychological illness, physical illness, legal citizenship status, drug use, and other choice-based characteristics. Gender (original gender on birth certificate) is difficult because of the inherent differences between male and female. I still believe if a service member can meet all of the requirements for a job, then he or she should be allowed to do that job. If not, do something else. I watched potential pilot students be eliminated (discriminated against) because they were too tall, too short, too heavy for height, too tall sitting height, vision less than 20/20, puked when turned up-side-down, failed drug test, etc. Never saw a potential student eliminated for race, religion, color, national origin, or gender. I think the Services can get a handle on this easily. Transgender individuals currently serving honorably on active or reserve duty should be offered a General Discharge under Honorable Conditions and allowed 90 days to be gone.

If one views transgender as having been an illegal human experiment his ban means nothing.
I believe I can easily show professional level unethical and criminal behavior in the promotion and adoption of the word transgender at the professional level.
By federal law since 1992 no transsexual or transvestite has been considered handicapped unless for other cause.
When you "include" someone in a group without their individual consent you are in effect experimenting on them without their consent. Note that lgbt activist have a fairly long history of stating they are trying to be "inclusive" to justify swallowing hole populations of people based on a singular characteristic.
But if all people defined as being transsexual or being a transvestite are not considered disabled unless for other cause, there is no ethical or legal right to make social or political decisions for them.

He has the generals to contend with.
