As President of the Transgender Veterans Support Group (TVSG) National and Texas Chapters, my phone has been ringing off the hook from the media asking for our response to the recent decision of President Trump to ban Transgender people from serving in the Military. President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday 7/26/17 that transgender individuals will not be allowed to serve in the U.S. military “in any capacity,” saying they would cause “tremendous medical costs and disruption.”

As Trump doubles down on his transgender bigotry, opposition to his position increases and his excuse to discriminate — cost — gets examined.
