Regardless of the... trans... is it isn't it... stuff... interpretations... kerfuffles...
*cough* hopefully bypassing the unrelated to the topic at large.
Since when have people been in support of wanting all the people in armies? I mean yay patriotism I guess if that's your shtick, but these days armies are just a front to deter other countries from attacking rather than outright deployment (give or take war mongering authorities)
AT BEST trans numbers are around 0.014% for mtf and 0.003% for ftm (according to the DSM-V) of the population, ya think the army is really so starved as to need to rely on such a percentage?
And it's not like there aren't downsides to being trans in the army either, if you're actually put out in the field and then are stuck not being able to take hormones for one unexpected reason or another, then what? Wouldn't that just add to the stress?
Not only that but when they're run as a business, wouldn't saving money and making more profit be more important to an army? Armies have always been about efficiency more than anything.
