Id like to see your documentation that says ALL hormone replacement therapy for women automatically disqualifies them. I dont claim to be an expert on the issue - but from the searches I have done, it seems very situational. It seems like it can depend on a variety of factors, of which include if the hormones are being prescribed by your doctor, and for what specific reason you are taking them. On that same note, what happens if a woman gives birth and needs to take hormones for that, or what happens to a military woman after 45 (when most get menopause)...are they no longer allowed to be in the military?

Im not, nor have I ever suggested (even though your responses keep insinuating that I am) that we should throw out all the rules. Just that we should not be encapsulating ALL transgender people into this ban. What about transgender people who dont take hormones? Or who dont need psychiatric help? You are taking a group filled with very different people, and calling them all the same.
