In a way I agree with you.  By definition, a guy who thinks he should have been a woman is considered a transgender.  So, what are we doing here?  Should that guy, who isn't getting any medical enhancements to make himself more like a woman, be prevented from serving?  He's not wasting taxpayer money on transgender treatments.

Smart thing to do would simply classify any gender altering procedures (whether it's hormones, cosmetic surgeries, etc.) as purely cosmetic and say they won't be covered by the medical military plan.  End of story.

But, Trump had to get diarrhea of the twitter account again....
