Biden lifts ban on transgender people serving in the military, reversing Trump’s policy.
Good for Biden. Because, you know, if someone wants to serve in the military, let them. Any assumption that should the person be female, or trans, gay, of any race, religion, creed etc... having *less than* the same love of country, sense of duty, patriotism, bravery, ability, determination, as the typical male recruit, its just fucking stupid.
And on that note, the same people that have been harping and peeing their panties over women, gays and trans in the military, mostly being so called "conservatives", which these days means mostly Republican...yea, most of them never served themselves. In addition to the list below, lets add Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O' Reilly, Ted Nugent, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jerry Falwell, most Televangelists, Sarah Palin, Mike Pence, pretty much anyone and everyone that works for Fox News, Alex Jones, and on and on.
