Have the army allow those with the birth defect of transsexualism to join

Created by C.H. on April 10, 2014

A number of women born with transsexualism want to join the army and fight for our country. They want to help those in need and help protect what means the most to them. However, due to their birth defect, which is not the same as being transgender, the recruiting officers say such women cannot join and are "unfit". The army counts having transsexualism as a mental illness, and because of this they are being counted as mentally ill. Please sign this petition to tell our government and army that they are wrong, and that transsexual people are as able as anyone to fight for this country. If someone wants to stand up and fight for this country, their gender identity shouldn't be the deciding factor.
