    Trump banned transgenders from being part of the army, for being transgender.
    And a lot of righties support Trump's extremistic Christian approach, and still do.

    There is nothing "extremistic Christian" about it. People who suffer from gender dysphoria are mentally ill, suffer a high suicide rate, and shouldn't be given access to guns. We ban schizophrenic's from the military as well for the same reasons.

    It has more to do with the 60%+ suicide rate and comorbid mental illness.

    The high suicide rate is among reasons that almost all of them are discriminated at least 4 times a year, every year. Them being mistreated, discriminated all over the place, makes them be unemployed, leading to them being homeless / alcoholic and drug addicted. And Righties like Donald and their supporters are a key reason. It's the same with people who are bullied all over the place. That too leads to being depressed.

    The ill will of accepting and bullying / discriminating transgenders most deffo has it's roots in extremistic Christian heritage. The same group has a problem with homosexuals for the same reason. You're just unwilling to accept it. While I also add that since it's not an disorder, means they do not have a mental disorder aka are not mentally ill.

    Sorry, it's a mental illness so stop with the science denial.

    Your health care professional might make a diagnosis of gender dysphoria based on:

    • Behavioral health evaluation. Your provider will evaluate you to confirm the incongruence of your gender identity and sex assigned at birth, your history and development of gender dysphoric feelings, the impact of the stigma attached to gender nonconformity on your mental health, and what support you have from family, friends and peers.
    • DSM-5. Your mental health professional may use the criteria for gender dysphoria listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association.

    This is actually true. This started under the Obama administration and actually made many blue collar democrats vote Republican for the first time in their lives. My grandfather was one of them. When they recognize an illegal as having more rights than an actual citizen, or recognize people by class rather than merit they are not pandering to the democrats of old, they are pandering to the radical factions.

    It's rather simple. You called it an illness. And nowhere are you quoting in bold that they are ill or sick.

    So a mental disorder is not an illness in your mind? Is a mental disorder a mental disorder in your mind?

    No you didn't I asked when the first actual female is appointed as a 4 star admiral does she not get to claim she is the first female admiral or does a guy pretending to be get to do that?

    Is this a true statement?

    The former pediatrician's appointment also made her the first female four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps' history.

    Go to 1:21, is he telling the truth?

    Gender dysphoria (GD) is the distress a person feels due to a mismatch between their gender identity—their personal sense of their own gender—and their sex assigned at birth. The diagnostic label gender identity disorder (GID) was used until 2013 with the release of the DSM-5. The condition was renamed to remove the stigma associated with the term disorder.

    It's not even a disorder.
    So what now Mike?

    Don't know, don't care. It doesn't even matter.
    But we have the 1st transgender female as Admiral now. As the OP states.

    If you didn't care you wouldn't be here. So is that a true statement that Levine makes proclaiming to be the first female, not "transgendered", FEMALE 4 star? Is the way CBS reported it accurate and truthful especially to the science?

    I've used both the DSM-4, and now 5.

    It was removed due to political pressure.

    Most if not all transgenders have a mental disorder as evident by the TRANSGENDER. If you can honestly not see a broken human when you look at Rachel Levine you are living in denial. You typically don't want to have to rely on someone who is emotionally unstable when it comes to combat. Or handling dangerous weapons.

    Never mind they were using tax payer money for surgeries.

    It's a *******n embarrassment is what it is. And China and Russia are both laughing at it.

    LOL, the topic is transgender Admiral.
    Not whether some hypothetical female future Admiral will be considered the 1st female at the position or not.

    My posts in this thread as always been, so what, a trans was named Admiral. Should have no impact of the job.
    But you seem to think a trans person shouldn't hold that position. In the end, it doesn't matter.

    I asked you about Levine's proclamation, is that a TRUE statement. Was the CBS report true and accurate and according to the science? I think truthfulness and accuracy and important when it come to health and human services don't you? Should it not be according to the science?

    So were they both being truthful?

    That when the first true female, and don't pretend it will not happen in the future nearer than further, reaches that rank she will not receive that honor as having done so because a man took that from her fallaciously declaring HE is the first female. That's REALLY what you think is right and proper? And if he REALLY believes he is a female what does that say about his fitness to serve in such a position over the rest of our health's mental and physical?

    Is CERTAINLY not some first female ANYTHING and attempting to take that honor away from the rightful first female in order to satisfy the feelings of a cross dresser is absurd.
