I am neither for nor against either the Obama or Trump policies as it would be wildly inappropriate for me to question the policy and orders of the civilian chain of command. I am merely providing incite to our enthusiastic elector overlords so that they can continue to make good, but mostly indifferent, decisions once it comes time for less than half of the population to elect my new boss in the White House.
There, that should cover me arse.

He's not a RINO. Just built his career on being independent-minded.

Sloppy wording on my part. Transition is currently the most effective known cure.

Yes, but that just argues against transsexuals in the military either way

The argument is that transition corrects the dysfunction of gender dysphoria.
