Whichever you prefer.
As I have stated many times here, I rarely reply to those I don't respect. I always reply to you. And I was glad you commented as I was hoping for your perspective.
My motivations were partially busting them off on you and partially me not totally getting your intention. My bad on that. Not that Tom needs me to defend him. Far from it. I am well aware of my limitations and I am not in Tom's league.
We're cool Matt/Roland00. At least I hope we are.

He's not a RINO. Just built his career on being independent-minded.

I also like that study because it uses correct terminology: transsexual, sex-reassigned.

Gender has had a non-grammatical meaning since the 1950s, and you know it.

Sloppy wording on my part. Transition is currently the most effective known cure.

Yes, but that just argues against transsexuals in the military either way

Yes, and I don't feel particularly strongly about the current fiasco for that reason.

The argument is that transition corrects the dysfunction of gender dysphoria.
