 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.

 

Hugs,

Here's the latest update from the Pentagon:

http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-essential-washington-updates-top-u-s-general-tells-military-leaders-1501171360-htmlstory.html

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.

      Do you plan to be active during Pride Month? If so, what type of activities?

      By MirandaB · Posted

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.

      Welcome to the party, M.A.     Sounds chaotic haha, I can confidently say that living with only two children the same age is stressful enough, much less three!

      Things hit the fan today. I was reminded that "this is not a gender fluid establishment."   I had changed my preferred name and gender at the hospital on their app. My x-ray report came in with my preferred name and gender. It was not appreciated by the centre. 😬

      Tips on eating a bit more? (Not an eating disorder, but it seemed to fit here best)

      By Justine76 · Posted

      I'm not a nutritionist but I've gone on bulking diets in the past so I can suggest a couple things to try. Foremost, food-prep stuff that you like to eat. Any 'real food' that usually sounds good to you. That way, you don't have the time-sink or hassle of cooking for every meal. You're more likely to eat if stuff if it's convenient and mostly ready. For example, I'll spend an hour or so one evening prepping burrito ingredients that will last me the next 3 nights. Then it's just a matter of microwaving the beef/beans and throwing them into a tortilla; takes 5 min.   If you need food 'on the go' often, consider prepping smoothies in advance pre-separated out into individual containers. I personally like low-no fat yogurt blended with fruit and, here's the weird part, those water flavor drops. They add sweetness without dumping in excess sugar. Insulated containers will keep them reasonably fresh non-refridgerated all day so they can even be tossed into a backpack.    Hope of those sparked some ideas!

      I did get a sorry from the mechanic, saying it was all on him. The boss just said I just went by what I was shown. I didn't look at the paper work. I thought maybe you should before jumping down someones throat.   I am still in the market. Just waiting to find the right one.   Hugs, Kymmie
