      Fuck it.

      Let’s ban all the liberals and queers and women and fems and educated, too. Then let’s get a draft going and set no minimum or maximum age. Let’s start making all our own equipment and you know let’s just not give them anything. Then let’s get into a war with China and not use drones or ai or tanks. Ohh noooooo, all the shitty people diiieedd. Sorry China, we take it back. Yeah, all those rules we changed, it didn’t work out. Oh well. NO MAGATS. VOTING TIME.

    When there are fewer LGBT people in the military, then there will also be less resistance from within when the military is used to oppress that very same group. I suspect that might be a reason for the ban. Also I guess there’d be less chance for a coup, but I don’t know how likely that is to begin with.

      The military is all about indoctrination which is the polite word for “brainwashing”. Our trans friends in the armed forces are just as unlikely to stop stomping on necks as anyone else.

      Nah, this is just general hate toward the Ts (expect the Ls, Bs, Gs, Qs, and +s to follow).

      As much as it pains me to see fellow queer folk get discriminated against, I think it’s for the better for all of humanity to have a weaker US military.

    “An unprecedented degree of animus towards transgender people animates and permeates the ban: it is based on the shocking proposition that transgender people do not exist,” the lawyers wrote.

    Someone needs to hire new lawyers cause that’s not even being discussed.

    People with asthma, flat feet, depression, heart murmurs, etc can’t join the military. Why should people with gender dysphoria be allowed to join?

    People who would never join the military are the ones complaining. And if they do join, they should be limited to non deployable jobs.

      Because we aren’t supposed to exist.

      That’s why the rhetoric is so focused on kids. You torture/conversion therapy/get them to Jill themselves, then act like being trans is a “phase” or “fad” or mental illness or ploy to molest girls. There aren’t supposed to be “real” trans adults.

        The only people saying trans people aren’t allowed/supposed to exist are trans people claiming others are saying it when they’re not.

          My friend, anyone who watches the news on an occasional basis knows that you’re lying, and that you know you’re lying. I’m not sure why you’re wasting our time, or yours.

          What does Trump’s executive order do other than say trans people are not allowed to exist then? I forgot the part where there was a carve out for trans people.

        Do you even know what the real issue is?

        Never said it’s similar to asthma, but trans people do have to take hormones for the rest of their lives, and there’s a lot of disqualifiers for military service as it is. It’s not like joining a health spa. It’s not just the lives of trans, it’s the lives of everyone in the unit. And I know that combat units won’t be able to handle that yet. And you may say that they should, but you can’t just throw one in there and expect them to handle it, especially when it’s a job that deals with life and death.

        You don’t understand. You’re just a virtue signaler that won’t volunteer to join the military.

        Do I care? Nope. But i wouldn’t have a problem if there’s a waiver, and keeps them out of combat arms. Can’t take hormones when you’re in a long ass firefight or skirmish. Can’t stop evading from an enemy threat just so you can administer those meds. Convoys won’t risk driving over IEDs just to deliver them.

        They’d be better suited for support roles if anything.

        Keep being butthurt about stuff you don’t understand.

          Imagine calling some a “virtue signaler” and then saying the words “Do I care? Nope.” Lmao.

          So, what’s weird to me is that these people seemed to do just fine in the military, and are now being booted for being trans. So, what’s the problem? I mean, the obvious flaw is that not all trans people have to take hormones, and this ban targets people who don’t take hormones the same as those that do. But even if they did have to take hormones, they were doing fine before, so what’s the issue?

          It seems silly to me that the military, with record low recruitment, would ban a population that has a far higher degree of joining them due to a lot of really shitty factors.

            They were able to join because the military lowered their standards because of the low recruitment numbers lol

              Trans people were always joining the military at higher rates, and the reasons why are obvious. They were only able to be openly trans recently, but they have been able to be closeted trans since always. Just like gay people. Don’t ask, don’t tell, amirite?

              When the government literally advertises the military as super masculine, you’re gonna get a lot of people that are either really into being ultra masculine and people that feel like they aren’t being masculine enough, which are certainly attributes that are likely to fit with people that feel gender dysphoria.

              The other reason, of course, is that LGBT people are far more likely to be homeless from being cut off from their friends and family and have few alternatives, and the military is certainly one of the more effective ways to improve your economic situation.

              This ain’t rocket surgery.

      Having gender dysphoria doesn’t impact your abilities on the field. You can still perform all the tasks that a regular person can do. Banning people from joining the military because they are a different gender then they were at birth is moronic, and is just excluding entire groups of people because “MUH WOKE!!! MUH DEI!!!”. Americans need to grow up.
