Naval Academy to ban transgender students beginning in 2020
https://news.yahoo.com/naval-academy-ban-transgender-students-002703881.html

'An organization representing transgender service members said several attend each academy, although many are not openly transgender.

“The policy turns off access to some of our best and brightest, and that’s not what our country needs to win future wars,” said B Fram, communications director for Service Members, Partners and Allies for Respect and Tolerance for All, or SPARTA.

Under the policy, troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria will be medically evaluated before they are discharged to see if they qualify for disability. If not, gender dysphoria can be considered a “condition that interferes with military service” like sleepwalking and motion sickness.

The American Medical Association has blasted the policy, saying the wording mischaracterizes transgender people as having a “deficiency.” The association recognizes treatment for gender dysphoria as medically necessary.'

They are praying that whoever gets elected in 2020 repeals this stupid policy immediately, so that the Academy only misses one semester's worth of recruits.
