It seems like maybe you don’t. Please explain to me how what I said is wrong? If their position is that trans people don’t exist, how can they ban them from the military?
The same way banning the use of pronouns other than those assigned to you constitutes erasure. It’s about restricting or removing rights until either it’s a crime to be a certain way and/or people are too scared to come out anymore
It’s not saying “gender dysphoria is not a diagnosis that exists anywhere” it’s saying “believing yourself to be transgender is a substantial enough mental illness and flaw in character so as to preclude military service.”
This claims that having gender dysphoria is some sort of deficiency, and not just a non-standard identifier. This invalidates the identity of trans people, and calls into question their legitimacy.
No, I have. You’re just too stubborn to accept it. You made up your mind long before this conversation. No answer i give will be enough. You’ve decided they’re fine based on your textual interpretation.
You’re defending bigots. It’s a bad look and I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Have a good one.
You haven’t, and you can’t, because if it was denying trans people exist then the entire EO wouldn’t make any sense because it would be prohibiting people that don’t exist from serving in the military.

I said what is happening. Legalese nonsense is not a substantive argument nor does it undo what they are attempting to do. This is erasure.
OK so you can’t show how this “denies that trans people exist”. We got there in the end.
