It is important to all; however, just like every aspect, the better you do, the more you score. my point was/is that transgenders are just like Stephen Hawking..........


OK, that really wasn't my point and my hope is 99.9% of the reader understood it; as it appears you do. A transgender biological male identifying as female undergoing hormone therapy or simply identifying has an unfair advantage over a biological female.

Now I'm not stupid enough to believe that is their main reason for transition; but it doesn't remove the advantage  and it needs to be annotated. I do see the Army going the way of youth soccer and giving everybody a juice box, but my hope is that promotion remains a competitive function.
