    Kindly, check the origin of the policy. They've been letting trans women in for 50 years. They just made it official in 2015. This is in response to a very recent mass cultural kickback in the UK.

    They face no real repercussion for stopping the long held tradition, and much from continuing. Bending the knee.

    We get it, you're a bigot. You don't need to keep reminding us.

    Likely made for the sole purpose of trolling. Some people have nothing better to do with their lives.

    I really wonder what they get out of it. I try to be positive force because it makes me feel better about myself. I've been an asshole in the past to get results on occasion, but I really don't like doing it. So what is their motivation?

    You keep posting this same thing. So you're hateful and not creative. Tends to go hand in hand. But you simply responding, let's us know you're reading these comments. At least you're not using the clown emoji, guess you trumpettes are finally evolving.
