      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.

          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.

      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.
