It is alarming/uplifting (depending on your perspective) how often the supreme court upholds POTUS 45's decisions...

I wonder how many of the esteemed Justices who have ruled on this issue, have ever served in the Armed Forces?
Reality Matters!

WASHINGTON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - A U.S. court on Friday ruled in favor of a Trump administration policy barring certain transgender people from serving in the U.S. armed forces, handing the president his first legal victory on the issue after several defeats.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit overturned a decision by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that blocked the policy, saying it likely violates the constitutional rights of transgender recruits and service members.
President Donald Trump announced in March that he would endorse a plan by former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to restrict the military service of transgender people who experience a condition called gender dysphoria.
The appeals court victory is limited because other federal courts issued injunctions against the policy, which applied nationwide. The administration already has asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue.
The high court is due to consider whether to hear three separate government appeals at its private conference on Jan. 11.
The various injunctions allowed transgender troops to join the ranks as of Jan. 1, 2018.

In my view if the person in question has the physical, mental and social capabilities to be a good soldier, I could care less what they do in the privacy of their heads and their beds.
People should keep their sexual proclivities out of sight - regardless what colour/flavor those are.

I don't believe gender dysphoria falls under the umbrella of sexual proclivities...
More along the lines of a mental disorder from what literature I have been able to find concerning it...
So he's 2 and 12 now. Those aren't very good stats.

The problem is that the suicide rate among gay/transgenders/lesbians is fairly high someone that is having a problem assimilating into this lifestyle would be at higher risk having someone with this is also putting those that are with them is extreme and stressful times is putting them in a high-risk situation as well if they are depending on them to have their back.

That’s also a valid point I guess depends on what angle you look at it.
