Oh my.
1. Your first "scientific fact" (regarding black IQ) is bunk and even if correct (which it is not) is irrelevant. It doesn't take a lot of IQ to serve in countless positions in the military.

2. The suicide rate of transgenders is some 50 times higher than the general populace. That's a scientific fact. Such mental/emotional instability in a highly stressful combat environment has a huge effect on service qualification.

And on the subject of "scientific justification to exclude" people from service, please inform us why this list of hundreds of medical conditions are "scientific justification to exclude" people from military service while transgenderism is not.
