Trump Calls For Ban On Transgender Troops


Recommended Posts

Guest Gina9223

 We fought and won this war before. Our community helped defeat DADT and supported our GLB community members during the bad years. If this president thinks a 'presidential edict' will last beyond his brief tenure then he truly does not know how strong willed the Transgender Military community is. We won before, fights, battles, and wars and we'll wine's again and again and again until others finally understand that we are Citizens, we have Rights and we have Fight and we'll never give up, never surrender and never run away.

The careers and lives of our trans brothers and sisters in the military isn't even worth the ink on a memo to this Jerk-In-Chief.  The end comes with a damned Tweet!  Nothing surprises me with this man.   He is heartless, and cares only about his political career and his ego.

I do not now believe that he will last four years in office.  But Pence would replace him, and so this edict will remain for now.  For those who came out already while on active duty, you'll need to make plans to be soon removed.  I am so sorry for you, and my heart goes out to you.  You trusted your generals and your civilian leaders to live by their commitments, and they have been overruled by their cowardly, bigoted president.  For those not yet out, you'll have to make a decision on whether to stay in stealth or leave.  :(

We will be here to support you as best we can.  Fight on, my friends, and hold your heads high.  You have my utmost respect and admiration.  Thank you for your service!

The next question will be, does Trump end all treatment for transgender veterans?  Congress may have some say in that, but I put no faith in them, either.  We shall see.

This fat stupid idiot of a president now shows his true colors towards our LGBT COMMUNITY..  This is discrimination towards us,

He is the most anti constitutional president in history.  Transgender troops are in positions that required expensive training.  I had to process Chapter 13 discharges which I  had to process on trans and gay and lesbian soldiers.back in the 1970's.  I was a paralegal.  I came out to an Army Psychologist that I was trans.  Could have got me discharged..  The cost to train me far para legal far out cost all the surgeries I could have had.  Trump is getting creamed on the morning news shows over this tweeted decision.  If Trump runs in 2020 the LGBTQ community needs to vote with a clear and loud message.  NO TRUMP

I wonder what, if anything, the "Log Cabin" republicans will have to say about this?  Nothing, probably.

Here is the answer to that question, and note the reference to their statement from yesterday touting the positive effect their voice is having among fellow Republicans;

Big effect, they're having, isn't it??

Ah, Captain Cheeto farts again! I don't think he is going to get this one to stick. There are too many Republicans that are against it, and the ACLU has announced they are filing a suit against it. That and the military has already spent a lot of money of training their personnel on inclusion of transgender service members. One thing the military doesn't like to do is step backwards on anything once they have spent money on it.

I hope your right Erin.  I also hate to see this backward movement.  As far as the Log Cabin bunch.......the T is at the back of the LGBT movement in their eyes.

Here's the latest update from the Pentagon:

With POTUS' short attention span, he may not remember to issue any guidelines, and the whole thing will be dropped.  We'll see if this is just another brain fart from the Idiot-In-Chief.

This reads to me like attention-grabbing.  What has been settled is that the percentage of people who seek to undo medical and surgical transition is low enough as to have no bearing on this discussion.

Walt Heyer and Paul McHugh are the go-to "authorities" for those grasping at straws to support their lame arguments against transition and the transgender condition in general.  It's willful ignorance writ large.

Yep, basically whenever the Federalist or other conservative news outlet needs an anti trans piece these are their two experts.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power.

      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.

      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
