The military wants and has need for individuals who fill roles useful to the military in carrying out its missions. My first objection with forcing the military to accept transgenders is that class of people have an inordinate need for extensive downtime for body “adjustments” at huge expense. Why would the military take on that burden? Then we get to the psychological impairments ultimately manifesting in grossly disproportionate self-destruction and suicide. The military has a long list of disqualifiers for recruitment because those exhibiting a record projecting expected problems need to be discriminated against and barred before the problems are encountered. The issue in question is but one of many valid disqualifiers. Discrimination is not a bad word.
