If I recall correctly, there were some court cases on don’t ask/don’t tell. Those judges seemed poised to rule that the don’t ask/don’t tell policy on homosexuality was a violation of due process and constitutional rights.

That became moot when Congress repealed Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell during the Obama years. But if that reasoning is used again with people with gender dysphoria/transsexual issues, it’s possible that the courts will overturn bans on transsexual peoples.

Well, we have to count the votes. We know Ginsburg and Wise Latina, etc. will vote to overrule a ban on transsexuals. Will there be five to uphold such a ban?

And we also need to discuss, that the military is fundamentally different from civilian life. There are real questions as to whether someone getting hormone shots and psychological problems should be in the military.

I understand there are also questions about the military paying for gender 'reassignment' surgery.

Absolutely not, IMHO.

I can’t answer the question about the psychological problems of people getting hormone shots. However, I do have a question as a real woman. One anti trans argument has been the trans medical costs. Some time ago I read a report that the military and VA costs for viagra and related treatment is many, many times trans medical costs.
