President Obama may lift transgender troop ban

[Old Fart]

An independent commission led by a former U.S. surgeon general has concluded there "is no compelling medical reason" for the U.S. armed forces to prohibit transgender Americans from serving and that President Barack Obama could lift the decades-old ban without approval from Congress, according to The Associated Press.

The AP reports the Department of Defense regulations designed to keep transgender people from joining or remaining in the military on the grounds of psychological and physical unfitness are based on outdated beliefs that require thousands of current service members either to leave the service or to forego the medical procedures and other changes that could align their bodies and gender identities.

Is transgender and transvestite the same thing?

Nope.

No - transgender is someone physically changing sexes. Transvestite is dressing like the opposite sex. Totally normal and acceptable.

Totally normal and acceptable.

In both cases.

So 18 year old male goes to recruiting office with halter top, high heels and mini skirt on, should be no problem.
