It's too bad bfine isn't around, it sure would be nice for him to chime in with the specifics.
Was it so difficult to provide one link? LOL
Too bad bfine isn't here, but luckily as a former military medical provider I am your resident subject matter expert.
1) IAW AR 40-501, transgender individuals qualify medically for military service so "we" don't need to fret about whether we should let them in the military. The matter is already settled.
2) IAW AR 40-501, people with a history of suicide ideation do not qualify for induction into the military whether they are heterosexual, homosexual, transgender.
3) Military veterans have a 50% greater chance of committing suicide compared to the civilian population. Which means they are 10% more likely to commit suicide than transgender individuals. I guess we can't let service members join the service, either. At least not if we pay attention to your faulty logic.
