The following comes from a Jan 22 story in the Washington Post.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Trump’s broad restrictions on transgender people serving in the military to go into effect while the legal battle continues in lower courts.
The justices lifted nationwide injunctions that had kept the administration’s policy from being implemented.
It reversed an Obama administration rule that would have opened the military to transgender men and women and instead barred those who identify with a gender different from the one assigned at birth and who are seeking to transition.
The court’s five conservatives — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh — allowed the restrictions to go into effect while the court decides whether to consider the merits of the case.
The liberal justices — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — would have kept the injunctions in place….
The policy is not a “blanket ban,” the court concluded, because “not all transgender persons seek to transition to their preferred gender or have gender dysphoria.”
Therefore, our country loses dedicated soldiers.
And saves whatever it would cost to pay for transition surgeries for Lord knows how many soldiers.
Anyone who is confused about their gender is not fit to serve in the military.
Transgenders suffer the mental illness of Gender Dysphoria. They are unfit for military service. I am sorry for people like “Bruce” or “Caitlin” Jenner– what a shame, the sensational “media circus” around them and their lives! They need peace and privacy– they are quite ill and dysfunctional!
