WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would not allow transgender individuals to serve in the U.S. military in any capacity.
announced via twitter, no doubt after a segment on fox and friends about transgenders in the military
Kind of annoying these people have taken over the liberal movement. I mean I got nothing against em but they're like .01% of the population and they really freak out middle America
Evangelicals raising their hands in joy to their LGBT-hating God
Kind of sickening, tbh.
Being told to pack up and go home after putting your life on the line and getting a 1 way ticket home is beyond cruel.
This is just pandering. Trump is always looking for a diversion away from all that is Russia related.
I don't know if you can say taken over but they do seem to get disproportionate attentionQuote:

I think it's a stupid move by Trump, but are there really 15K+ transgenders in the military? That seems hard to believe.Quote:

What costs exactly
“After consultation with my Generals and military experts,
please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
“Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”
According to a recent RAND Corp. study,
around 4,000 transgender people currently serve in the U.S. military.
They would presumably be expelled.

Govt policy by twitter.
Honorable discharge? dishonorable discharge?
4,000 according to RAND corp study.Quote:

It was an issue 9 years ago. A friend of mine who teaches physics in NISD had a transition female----->male hormone therapy taking hold. One fellow student brought up to the teacher "she" was in the boys bathroom. They had a policy meeting because the kid filing the complaint went home to parents. It was on its way in public schools before "we" heard about it.Quote:

How the Military Became the Country's Largest Employer of Transgender Americans
In fact, the available evidence suggests that transgender Americans serve at rates well above the national average.
Though the data is sparse, studies estimate that trans men and women are anywhere from two- to five-times more likely to join the military as their cisgender (nontrans) counterparts.
For all its perceived conservatism and raging heteronormativity, the United States Armed Forces is almost certainly the largest employer of transgender people in this country.
Trans service members and veterans offer a variety of explanations for this disparity. For some, the military uniform functions as gender camouflage—a way to forestall uncomfortable questions from friends, family, or spouses.
For others, joining the armed forces offers financial security and community to a group that is disproportionately denied both.
As both a hiding place and a safety net, the military has become an unlikely refuge for thousands of transgender Americans.

A White House Official Just Admitted The Real Reason For Trump’s Transgender Military Ban
Axios reporter Jonathan Swan asked a Trump administration official what the real reason for the ban was, and the aide confessed that the president’s motives were purely political.
“This forces Democrats in rust belt states like Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin to take complete ownership of the issue,” the official said.
“How will the blue collar voters in these states respond when senators up for reelection in 2018, like Debbie Stabenow, are forced to make this a key plank in their campaigns.”
This importance of this startling admission cannot be overstated.
First, it reveals that the President of the United States is exploiting not only the LGBT community but the armed services to score political points.

Yep. That's why you see people like Ben Shapiro tweet about them twice a day everyday while complaining that liberals pay too much attention to them. It's a great thing to associate Democrats with for Middle America if you want to freak those people out. And liberals embrace it for some reason. Still unreal that they're like .01% of the fucking populationQuote:

When
anti-trans Republicans told Trump that they would hold up funding for the wall unless he barred transgender people from serving in the military,
Politico writes that Trump “didn’t hesitate” to announce his opposition to transgender service members.

As I've said, Trash is a symptom, the cause is Repugs, their racist, misogynist, xenophobic tribe, and the oligarchy playing them all, and financing the entire Repug shit show. Replace Trash with Pence, and only the Trash tweets and noise would disappear.
No, you can have a different opinion without being treated like a bigot, all this left wing media crap has just hit the ceiling fan and everyone is just hysterical, fuck them.Quote:
