God knows how far this idiocy will get but I think it will not make it anytime soon. The left is sympathetic to this but they want B Hussein Obama reelected.
After demise of 'don't ask,' activists call for end to military ban on transgenders - Washington Times
With homosexuals now able to serve openly in the military, the gay rights movement's next battleground is to persuade the Obama administration to end the armed forces' ban on "transgenders," a group that includes transsexuals and cross-dressers.
"Our position is that the military should re-examine the policy, the medical regulations, so as to allow open service for transgender people," said Vincent Paolo Villano, spokesman for the 6,000-member Center for Transgender Equality.
The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), which pushed to end the military's gay ban, is urging President Obama to sign an executive order prohibiting discrimination based on "gender identity."...
...SLDN's goal is contained on a Web page with the headline, "Working toward transgender military service." The page states that a decision to remove the ban must be made at the Pentagon. "Relationships between transgender organizations, medical associations, and military allies will be crucial for advancing this issue," it says.
"SLDN will continue to urge President Obama to issue an executive order to prohibit discrimination and harassment in the military based upon sexual orientation and gender identity, and we will work closely with our allies to educate and create greater awareness of this inequity," SLDN spokesman Zeke Stokes said...
...A White House spokesman declined to provide Mr. Obama's position on transgenders in the military, referring a reporter to the Pentagon.
"Transgender and transsexual individuals are not permitted to join the military services," said Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez. "The repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell' will have no effect on these policies."
The SLDN says "transgender" is commonly identified as an umbrella term for "transsexuals, cross-dressers, gender-queer people, intersex people, and other gender-variant individuals."
Transgenders are not banned by law, but rather by a Defense Department instruction, "Medical Standards for Appointment, Enlistment or Induction in the Military Service."
It lists scores of medical conditions that make one ineligible, including: "Current or history of psychosexual conditions, including but not limited to transsexualism, exhibitionism, transvestism, voyeurism, and other paraphilias."...
Yes, Cher's daughter, err son is what we need in the Marine Corps. Sorry, if you need to go through sex change you have issues and you don't need to be in the service.
God help the Republic.
