Kinda like the bias Trump expressed toward transgender service members he has never met.
It sucks when we are in the group which is the target of unfair bias.

No, that does not apply. Trump is a public figure, I am a mere private citizen.

My point was we don't like it when we are the victims of unfair bias so we should guard against doing it to others, private or public figures.

Well, when it comes to myself, I have to draw a line somewhere. Being "classified" as a "holy roller" and part of the "religious Right", is where it ends. The guy (ballsofsteel) doesn't know a thing about me, in reality. Fact is, I haven't even practiced organized religion in over 20 years. If it continues, I'll have no choice but to consider it a personal attack without any basis or foundation.

Sorry, I must of misread your intentions. Its just that I assume that anyone who defends a certain population multiple times must identify with them.

![Hilarious Hilarious](http://sportshoop.la/images/smilies/giggle.gif) Yep, should be worth at least a percentage point, on the annual raises at work!
But seriously, I take it as an honor to be asked to be part of the moderation team. I'm only hoping that my moderating input can be as minimal as possible.

Trump can't even kill a fly himself. Not sure he is the best judge of who can or can't serve in the military.

Granted, not as funny as someone intentionally misquoting AR 40-501 while presenting it as fact.
Or as funny as people who have never served in the military and sought and received multiple deferements during Vietnam telling others they can't volunteer for the military.

Yes Trump as "The greatest president to have ever lived" does sound a bit far fetched to say the least doesn't it?
I'd just though I'd reciprocate all the ridiculous and exaggerated anti Trump remarks with ones 180 degrees the opposite way.

Who are you saying "intentionally" misquoted AR 40?
Regardless, I don't find it funny at all.
Reference paragraph 2-27(n) in AR 40-501 and let me know what you think.

Read carefully some mental related disqualifications for military service:
Any history or current psychosexual conditions, including, but not limited to transsexualism, exhibitionism, transvestism, voyeurism, and other paraphilias, are disqualifying.
Notice homosexuality not listed.

Trump restoring the military as it should be, will be known as the greatest president to have ever lived.
It seems you are confusing gender dysphoria with transexualism as interchangeable synonyms. Would you like me to explain the difference?
I don't think the President publicly discriminating againt a group of service members is funny, either.

I already covered this on the previous page to include the correct quote and an explanation of the different clinical terms.
