Hollywood celebrities once again goes nut over a new rule introduce on Friday mandating that transgender recruits in the U.S. military enlist and serve in their birth sex.

Despite the turmoil, the new rule is not a “ban” on transgender people in the military as has been widely reported…

According to Breitbart News’ Ken Klukowski reported, the rule, which addresses recruits and serving personnel who suffer from gender dysphoria, seeks to limit transgender people only “if their gender dysphoria requires in expensive gender reassignment surgery or other therapies that render them unable to serve for significant lengths of time. The specific military need is that those serving in uniform must be ‘free of medical conditions or physical defects that may require excessive time lost from duty.”

But Hollywood activists as always would want to twist facts.

Trump’s trans military ban went into effect today. It is based on a spurious, discredited notion that a person's need to transition is a "defect" or "deficiency" they need to correct. We stand with the thousands of trans service members unfairly targeted and affected by this ban. — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) April 13, 2019
