James Massey , Ryder Spearmann, etc. the ignorance and bigotry among the commenters here, sadly by more than just a fringe minority, is disheartening.

There are currently thousands of trans people in the U.S. military, no exact figures exist but estimates I’ve seen are ~2,500 active, 1,500 reserve, so certainly the military would suffer their loss.

Gentlemen, your transparent moral grandstanding is not going to buy you any favors with the big man upstairs & get you into Heaven, if anything it will pave your paths to Hell, and diminish the value & quality of your time here on Earth.
