You're still missing a state religion, but give it some time and Annoyed's 6-3 SCOTUS and you'll get that too.

However, in regards to joining the military, ...
US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis gives military chiefs six months to review policy on transgender recruits
"US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis is giving the military chiefs another six months to conduct a review to determine if allowing transgender individuals to enlist in the armed services will affect the "readiness or lethality" of the force.
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said Mr Mattis made the decision Friday. The delay in allowing the enlistment of new recruits does not affect transgender troops who are already serving openly in the military.
[...]
Transgender service members have been able to serve openly in the military since last year, when former Defence Secretary Ash Carter ended the ban, declaring it the right thing to do. Since Oct. 1, transgender troops have been able to receive medical care and start formally changing their gender identifications in the Pentagon's personnel system."

"But Mr Carter also gave the services until July 1 to develop policies to allow people already identifying as transgender to newly join the military, if they meet physical, medical and other standards, and have been stable in their identified genders for 18 months."

Does it pay for the care of soldiers who happen to get run over by a car? (not even in battle)
Does it pay for mental health services?
Does it pay for corrective surgery?
Health coverage = all of it, or none of it -- you can't pick and choose what you deem worthy of covering (that's what Trumpcare's for -- which isn't voted through yet)

"The Equality Act would provide consistent and explicit non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people across key areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service. "
Or the Safe Schools Improvement Act (H.R. 1957)
"The Safe Schools Improvement Act (SSIA) would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to require school districts in states that receive ESEA funds to adopt codes of conduct specifically prohibiting bullying and harassment, including on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion. SSIA would also require that states report data on bullying and harassment to the Department of Education. The Department of Education would then be required to provide Congress with a report on the state reported data every two years."

Did I say it was triggered? -- Nope, I didn't.
But the legal system sure has a wide range of legislations against bullying and harassments so it's definitely triggered by something (plenty of groups and organizations out there who tell their members they are better than anyone else out there).

But states apparently have a different opinion about it.

I presented a report which states why, even after transitioning people still attempt to kill themselves. As per Garhkal's questioning.
Attempted suicides are no less serious than one that was succesful. They are no less an indication something isn't going right in the person's life than an attempt that's succesful. They stop living cause why bother trying when people are just hell bent to make your life miserable no matter what.
A battle with no chance of winning is one you stop fighting after a while -- just too tired to continue.

If they were recorded, you'd have gotten them.
But according to white psychiatrist during the Jim Crow era, African-Americans were unlikely to commit suicide. It was a white man's disease.

I was wrong to do so. I could have ignored it, and gone with my assumption but I didn't.

But yes, if birth coltrol has to go, then so does viagra or any other aid for the failing male libido. That's birth coltrol all on its own.
