And your scientific evidence for this is where? Thinking that transgender people need counseling and that have a mental disorder isn't an opinion, you need scientific proof and studies that suggest that they are mentally ill.
Yeah, dude, transgender people commit suicide because of people like you who give them psychiatric counseling they don't need. That's called mistreatment, which is a direct cause of depression and anxiety, which can be a direct cause of suicide. By calling them mentally ill and saying that they're delusional just for being something that's different from you, you are indirectly bullying every transgender person on the planet. They don't need psychiatric counseling because it isn't a mental illness. They don't need to address a "root problem" because there is none.
I thank you for the service you've done for this country, but I respectfully believe that your views on transgender and gay people are idiotic and outdated.
First off, it WAS a thing a couple of years ago. During the Civil War, there were at least 100 confirmed cases of transgender people who served as soldiers, men born as women who fought just as valiantly as soldiers who were not transgender. When the war was over, these people went on to live the rest of their lives as men, like Albert Cashier for example. My point is, people have been calling themselves transgender for 150 years, and people have been calling themselves gay since ancient f**king Egypt. These are not new terms.
There have been hundreds of independent studies, done by straight men and women mind you, confirming that being gay or being transgender isn't a choice. People are born transgender or gay, they do not become that way over time. These studies were not "emotionally fueled," they were backed by 100 percent scientific research. I would link several of those studies here, but I don't have time for that. Also, your statement of "It's new, therefore it's nonsense" is f**king dumb. I don't think I need to delve into that.
Your logic of having a transgender person or a gay person in your unit is the exact same thinking that went through the minds of soldiers during the Civil War and World War 1 when they had a black man in their squadron. "These people are different than I am, and that's distracting to me. Put them somewhere else." If a transgender person desires to go into the military, they are dedicated to being a soldier, just like a black person, or a white person, or a straight person. What they are, or what they look like, should not bother you. After all, you're supposed to be focusing on your mission, right? Don't bother thinking about what f**king gender or skin color your fellow soldiers are. That's not your job.
