But again, it's not about women transitioning to male, it's about males transitioning to females.  Almost every op ed I've read from transgendered military personnel makes this point.  Maybe it's because most of them are written by males transitioning to female. The most impactful anecdotal story I have read so far is from a Navy Seal.  How do you denigrate the service of a Navy Seal assigned to the vaunted 6th team.  Tiger Woods cost himself his golf career trying to make the physical requirements to be a Navy Seal.  No wonder the 56 senior staff from all 5 services are against this 'presidential' decree.
