Blog Assignment Part 7
A few days ago the Pentagon lifts the ban on transgender service members serving in the U.S. armed forces. This means that all transgender soldiers can no longer be discharged or never reenlisted from or into the military. Before this the policy was in-placed by Barrack Obama called "Don't ask, don't tell," and it is turning into its last phase later this year. These new policies will benefit the 9,000 to 14,000 transgenders in the U.S. armed forces. This is a liberty many Americans have been wait for for years, a lady named Sheri Swokowski is one of them. During the 2015 she made a bold statement while giving a speech at the Pride Month parade.
In the end of the day I see this as a major step moving forward for the LGBT community and I'm happy they're finally becoming integrated into our society, even though I don't completely agree with all of their arguments... as in none. The LGBT community causes such a ruckus over being treated unfair and poorly. But this was one area I agree there should be change.
From one of my colleague name Chas Wright post an argument on Thursday, June 30, 2016 about U.S. Government is banningthe transgender from the services member serving in the U.S. armed forces. This mean Government is banning all the transgender soldiers that they could not stay in armed forces anymore. President Obama came with a campaign for this issue called “Don’t ask, Don’t tell.” It was suddenly happened from nowhere. My colleague agrees with the government and said he is happy about this. However, I have different perspectives from my colleague. There will be no right reason to government to ban transgender. I mean where is right for transgender? They do not have right to do because of they are transgender? It is not right for government to banning because transgender does not give actual bad influence in U.S. armed forces. We can easily know how hard transgender served in U.S. armed forces. According to the article that I found for the addition information, TheWilliams Institute, the rate shows that transgender serving in U.S. armed forces are approximately 150,000. 150,000 are not a small numbers and it is a high rate of transgender is serving for country. Even the normal people do not want to serve, how can government wants to ban the people who really want to serve and show respect on country. It is totally wrong thing and transgender have their own right to claim that they can actually serve for this country.
