If Trump never brought it up and made a unilateral decision that he didn't even consult with his top Generals about (not just "his generals" whomever that might have been....General Motors?  Maybe he talked to his car.), then this would not be in the news and transgendered people would fade into the background, serving alongside other men and women.  Think about 70 years ago....after Truman integrated the military, what if suddenly the next president said, "No, black people can't serve in the same units anymore."  Do you even think there wouldn't be attention drawn to that issue?

I think you're right - people should keep their private lives to themselves.  However, this "president" messed the situation up.  He's the guy who LOVES drawing attention to himself, remember?
