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.
