So are trans women too strong for sports or too weak for the military? Transphobes need to make up their minds.
The best weapon we have against transphobia is people interacting with us in their day-to-day. Their arguments are disingenuous, the goal is to stop us from participating so the masses won't have a trans friend to empathize with

It's sad for those people but it's less people for the organization that has the goal to intimidate and kill other people for economic gains.
EDIT: I don't want to seem mean. I nearly deleted the comment because I'm not sure how to say this politely. It's blatant discrimination and unfortunate that this is happening. However, it's less people working for the military. And to me, those politics and this attitude just shows exactly the type of organization they are, and why they are not the allies of progressive people. At least now they won't be forced to participate in the invasion of their own cities in a few months.
I mean, yes, but at the same time it's like, I am not surprised the military treats trans people like sub-human pieces of garbage.
After all, for every 1 decent military person who is in the military because they want to protect the country or because they have extraordinary pride im the country or just because they really love guns and war machines, there are 999 Tweedle dumbasses who are there because it was the only option that they were qualified for, the only opportunity they would ever have to escape the crippling poverty they were born into, and everybody else was doing it and they couldn't think of anything better to do.
I'm sure that by and large trans people were in the .1% category, so, filtering them out increases the number of stupid, easily manipulated, easily controlled, and otherwise hopeless people for them to use for whatever money-making purposes they have come up with.
