Let transgender people serve in the military!
Sign the open letter to President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis:
As an American, I strongly urge you to allow transgender people to join the US military. Thousands of transgender people are eager to serve their country in this capacity, and we should proudly let them do so. We sincerely hope you will reconsider your decision.

Sign the open letter to President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis:
Trump's just announced on Twitter that transgender people won't be allowed to serve in the military. Yet another ridiculous and shameful decision taken by Donald Trump.
He cited medical costs as being the main reason. He's wrong. Just completely wrong. Medical costs for transgender people amount to .000001% of the military's budget! Viagra costs the military 10x what trans people do! It's as if he pulled any whatever reason out of a hat before tweeting.
But Trump is notorious for changing his mind - something he admits to. A massive outcry from all Americans -- Republican, Democrat, LGBT or straight -- could help change his mind.
Sign on now, and Avaaz will pull out all the stops to get Republicans, LGBT groups, military people, celebrities, and other influential figures onboard with us.
