Have the army allow transgenders to join.

My friend's dream is to join the army and fight for our country. She wants to help those in need and help protect what means the most to her. However, due to her being transgender, the recruiting officer told her she cannot join, as she is "unfit". The army counts being transgender as a mental illness, and because of this she is being counted as mentally ill. Please sign this petition to tell our government and army that they are wrong, and that transgender people are as able as anyone to fight for this country. If someone wants to stand up and fight for this country, their sexual orientation and gender shouldn't be the deciding factor.
