Arguments about the mental health/stability of transgender people I don't consider legitimate, BTW, for the reason I gave in another post above concerning homosexuals.
And what is that reason? 'Well, we let homos in, so what's difference''? Being homosexuality and trans are two very different things and they have differing effects on your biology and mental health.
Homosexuality is just people deciding who to stick their dick into (/open pussy for). Trans is a serious form of body dysmorphia - A legitimate condition.
You shouldn't regard them as two sides of the same coin, they're different beasts.
In case there's confusion, my position on this is that a decent amount of trans people aren't stable, so, like everyone else who wants to join the military, they should pass the psych exam. Also, they should be at a stage in their transition where they don't require many medicines or supplements, again, like every other applicant.
