Trump’s transgender military ruling correct
I don’t believe our Founding Fathers had transsexual or transgender issues in mind when they crafted the Bill of Rights. Webster’s dictionary, copyright 1941, does not even list those two words.
Because of “political correctness” and moral decay, many in our society believe pursuit of happiness includes defying God’s law of human nature. If God made you a man, you are a man. If God made you a woman, you are a woman.
Today, medical science has not yet been able to refute that fact. In my opinion, any person who does not accept that fact is mentally deficient.
How on Earth can such a small portion of our population determine the norms of our society?
“Political correctness” — The first of those last two words is the key word!
President Trump is correct in excluding transgender persons from serving in the U.S. military. There are many reasons, including physical, emotional and mental stability, that deem you unacceptable to serve in the military.
In my opinion, a transgender person suffers from a mental deficiency. I would not want to be on active duty fighting alongside a person who is unable to accept the fact that they are a woman instead of a man and vice versa.
Unfortunately, this lifestyle is glorified by our media.
