President Donald Trump announced in a tweet that he plans to ban transgender people from serving in the military. He tweeted that their service entailed "tremendous medical costs and disruption." Many people were enraged by this claim and took action. Two LGBTQ-rights organizations filed a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of five transgender service members who have about 60 year of military service combined. The American Civil Liberties Union recently announced to the White House they intend to sue aswell and is preparing the paper work. So far the outcome does not seem to favor Trump.
Are you kidding me! The ability to fight for one's country is a basic right that belongs to every individual. And to take away that right is unconstitutional. We were a nation of such social progress which was achieved by our sense of equality and our mindfulness of the many different views that makes up America. We can only make that progress by moving forward, not clinging to the prejudices of the past.
