I saw a comment on the question as to why fewer people are enlisting in the military today. The comment was "would you want to bunk with a gay or transgender man?" It wouldn't make a difference to me. I am a big fan of don't ask, don't tell. I don't feel a need to publicly celebrate my heterosexuality and don't see a need for LGBTQ parades and such, but that's just my personal opinion. I don't agree that there are only two genders, just as there are not two pairings of the x and y chromosomes. Then there is the issue of mismatches of software and hardware and if god doesn't make mistakes then accommodations must be made. Wouldn't it be simpler to just say that every human has the same rights, regardless of the details?
