Yeah ok, so don't let them on the front line right away. But they still have the whole rest of their lives left.
I'm still not seeing how it matters years down the track. What reason is there to not let transgender people serve long after they've had the surgery or whatever?
And that's just for combat rolls. There's no shortage of noncombat rolls in which they can serve. So I'm still not seeing prohibiting them from serving at all can be sensibly justified.
I get not making the American people pay for any of it. That's fine, hell on the whole I agree with that. I don't exactly consider it a particularly big problem, but I agree the military shouldn't have to pay in principle.
But once we stop paying for it, I see no reason to just prohibit all transgender people from serving. Many of them won't ever even have surgery. It's a broad category of people. Just keep the ones who aren't combat ready out of combat. Problem solved.
Making this into a much bigger issue seems to me to be an excuse to descriminate.
If the real concern is about money, or about being combat ready, that's fine, those are legitimate concerns I can get on board with. But I'm not seeing any problem here where just prohibiting all transgender people from all service rolls makes any sense.
