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.

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ  Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events.

      Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?

      I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin.

      That's really cool, actually, and I don't even wear make-up :o

      That sounds like something I would do, lol, thanks <3   A lot of my classes have a lot of smaller, busy-work types of assignments, so it really added up O~O

      If it makes you feel better, I had a 41 2 weeks before I graduated highschool, and ended up getting honours because my teacher was awesome and let me turn in everything I was missing in one night. I believe in you!

      For some people, diversity of thought is okay as long as you agree with them.  I have noticed this on both sides.  Yesterday I got cussed out on FB for advocating the rule of law, which I thought an innocuous thing to advocate, because the danger a certain alleged totalitarian poses to our country.  So we should throw out the law to protect the law in the view of this person.  For that I was greeted with a long stream of obscenity.  The cussing poster claims to be Republican, which is supposed to be all MAGA and right wing and all and law and order.  Strange.   I don't think I have been cussed out by someone on the left.  I have been insulted in knowledge and intelligence and worship of Trump (which is false) but not directly cussed out.  And they get bent out of shape badly if you disagree with them, typically. Come to think of it, I have been.  Disagreeing with someone apparently is the worst thing you can do to them, invalidating their identity or something.   There is REAL diversity on this forum, and for the most part we get along.  Even if I were not dealing with trans stuff, it would be attractive that way.

      I was using an off the shelf product but happened to get an ad for Hims. Checked it out and found their prescription version was a little stronger so thought I'd try. It has worked very well for me.

      I put out an ad on Indeed for a campaign manager in January.  I got 435 responses and had meetings with 2 of them every day for a month.  No one was willing to donate enough time to my campaign to jump start donations so that I could pay them a salary.  Reposting is an excellent idea.  I don't have the time for it.  I'd love it if people would just make creative clones of my website like in the old css zen garden days 20 years ago.  I have $26.50 in my bank account today and need to sell my fancy, almost mint condition, Specialized M2 bicycle for less than $200 to buy food.   Stepping into this executive level role like I have is very intense work and I've been sleeping 4 hours a night for the last two months to stay in character.  In other words, I could use some help.  I've had 3 Gen Z transwoman musicians living with me this year and all 5 of us that have lived in my house this year have significant time living in cars and the streets.  My first wife is a symphony conductor, arranger, bass trombonist and carpenter who used to do concrete work on the freeway.  I have a picture of her on a private plane with Yo-Yo Ma from almost a quarter century ago.  I'm not just some crazy street person with $26.50 in my bank account.  I've played music for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and I played a gig with Ray Charles in 1995.  And that is just the beginning of my story.  It's not easy to change the reproductive habits of 8 billion people.
