Testifying before Congress, trans troops say Trump's ban will impact military readinessFive decorated transgender service members appeared before the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcmte. on Wednesday to testify that upholding President Trump’s transgender military ban would harm military readiness and lethality. (1/8) It's over stretching it just a bit. Would it be more fair to let active duty Military vote on things like this? Maybe they know what is right or not right for the Military better than we do. I’m sorry, but I am a woman who was born a woman and love being a woman and I am a lesbian who does not agree that transsexuals are part of LGBT community! I also am a conservative who voted for Trump and will again!

I wonder if they will be part of the 40%? President Trump's Ban comes at the request of Pentagon and active duty service members, both male and females. They need to focus on a mission not be distracted by philosophy on the human species.
