Wow—Trump is firing and banning all trans people from the military, per DoD memo.
“Military service by members and applicants for military service who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria is incompatible with military service.”
Part of memo:

He is why DEI is necessary.
* yes, I know he wasn't gay, and was dressing that way to get out of the Army in M*A*S*H
Let’s remove him already.
And yet I can’t help but think of Corporal Klinger of MASH. Klinger scrounged for resources, compassionately cared for everyone and was , in the words of the 4077, “A Good Soldier”.
Down the road, he’ll try to revoke EO 9981 and resegregate the military.
Then he’ll claim that Jews have conflicting loyalties to another country and kick them out.
Militaries tend not to give up power once they seize it.
More civilians need to oppose the maladministration. More of those who don't pay attention to politics need to start.
He could not have made it more clear with Project 2025.
65% of military voted for him knowing that.

Ummm. The fuck?
This sounds like cart Blanche to fire anybody who doesn’t conform, on top of all the other awfulness
None of this is about having an effective military.
Our nation is falling fast. The line in the sand is here, with trans people
Disclaimer: women/LGBTQ+ need not apply
These cowardly worse-than-worthless shitbags can all go fuck themselves.
the only acceptable response is "my bad" and then being better.
HE is a disgrace.
Trans people...are not.
Disgusting, vulgar, contemptible—my thoughts are not expressible in words.
that line is not just targeting trans people, that's targeting women too
because military service is a "traditionally masculine" job
Next could be gay people, black people, women.
Trans people are just the first target.
This is #Project2025
We know how this playbook goes.
Is this entire regime illiterate?
I hope these sad cis babyboys get the help they need
It also includes individuals who “exhibit” gender dysphoria. By whose judgment?
So basically they can use this to also fire any women who wear short haircuts. “She’s not feminine enough, must want to be a man.”
Unless things change soon for the better, US citizens on US soil who protest the felon in chief and his muskrats will be rounded up by Hegseth’s new army.
Trans
Gays
Women
Then barely any military left
If.. and likely when at this rate, we reinstate the draft for one of his dream takeovers gone wrong? I think they’re going to be in for a surprise.
No explanation given.
1:DoD is huge.
2:Letting them be who they are, as official policy makes it a lot easier to be comfortable just being themselves
GOP hates it because, as with desegregation it gives the lie to “they will destroy everything they touch”.
Similarly, there was the Wilmington, NC massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_massacre
Am I misinterpreting? Seems to me this is the least surprising thing he's done.
The amount of scrolling required, at least on the app, is definitely a hindrance for "casual" (as in not a screenreader) usage.
Ironic how #Conservatives spout FREEDOM but are willing to take away ours!
Their religious beliefs do not apply to our human rights.

Even as recently as perhaps 15years ago, the difference between trans and cross-dressing would need to be explained to me.
The first person thought to have been trans in the US Military was General Casimir Pulaski during the Revolutionary War. Amongst other things he saved George Washington during the Battle of Brandywine.
They object to the very existence of anyone different from themselves and will use the institutions of government to destroy their livelihood, and if possible, their lives.
Many still have the urinals left in them and have basically just changed signage.
Trump didn't fire the DOD Chief of Staff or the Chief of Naval Operations because they were incompetent. (It's damn hard to become a general or an admiral in the first place.) They were fired because "Black" and "woman" respectively.
wait sorry forget what i said. i’m hearing now that this can only make the situation worse
The people coming in now signed up under the Delayed Entry Program during the Biden Administration, and the previous president's policies of ending discrimination in the military.
This order is a witch hunt in the military that'll turn solider against soldier.
Having served, if I were selecting individuals to remove from the military, I would start with obvious Nazis. Like Hegseth himself. They are the ones that are 100% incompatible with a well-functioning United States military.
This is the most fucked up era in the history of our country. You can’t ever make an asshole happy no matter how much you change to conform
Eventually you destroy everyone and everything.
There is only you .
Accepting these facts, to what end does the APA have for perpetuating an outdated system to pathologize people for their humanity other than oppression?
See the APA for what it is.
This has been explained exhaustively for a century or more.
What conservatives count on is the average voter not knowing.
