Dear Sir:
If I think about our wars I seem to recall that Americans did in fact shoot Officers as well as common soldiers in our Revolutionary War. I our Civil War snipers shot Commanding Officers of the opposing team frequently. The idea of not allowing a common soldier to k**l an Officer is from the battles of the Middle Ages when the Officers were 'Royalty'. We aren't supposed to have royalty here in America so we have always k**led the enemy, no matter the rank. The American Revolution change the European rules of warfare.

Asking for a fair trial was/is not unreasonable. How fair would a trial be if the House forces the Senate to comply with rules of the House? Pelosi made the Democrats' position clear...conform to their methods and rules or the trial may never take place. And that is a possibility, there is nothing that provides a timeline. Question is, would this help or hurt Democrats? Politically, this should not hurt House Democrats as the majority took an oath to impeachment the President. So, technically they made good on their promise. Also, if there is no trial or Senate v**e...then Senate Democrats can not be held responsible....so, it should be a win/win for Democrats. But, hold on!! I think this will backfire. The "crimes" are vague and based on hearsay, assumptions, and do not meet Constitutional standards. Refusing to send the impeachment forward send a signal of "something to hide", unfairness and reeks of political bias, akin to railroading the President.

Should there be a trial, with rules established by the Senate? That is what the Constitution provides. The House, to include Pelosi, Nadler, and "Buggs" Schiff's jobs are done.....no other involvement, unless called as a witness.

First: To do NO HARM!

The overall mortality for sex-reassigned persons was higher during follow-up (aHR 2.8; 95% CI 1.8–4.3) than for controls of the same birth sex, particularly death from suicide (aHR 19.1; 95% CI 5.8–62.9). Sex-reassigned persons also had an increased risk for suicide attempts (aHR 4.9; 95% CI 2.9–8.5) and psychiatric inpatient care (aHR 2.8; 95% CI 2.0–3.9). Comparisons with controls matched on reassigned sex yielded similar results. Female-to-males, but not male-to-females, had a higher risk for criminal convictions than their respective birth sex controls.


Conclusions

Persons with t***ssexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.
