it’s interesting that they’re trying to ban trans people from the military. from what i’ve heard they’re super soldiers who are too good at sports and athleticism

Fact is, as long as they can do the job, I don’t give the first fuck what gender, sex, race, or creed the people who voluntarily choose to protect the country are. This ban is stupid.
Its more so based on the large amount of medical intervention. The military disqualifies people for so many reasons, and being on HRT could very well cause an issue.
Nah it's plenty consistent. They think trans people don't have the ability or moral character to be an asset to their squad. Even the Trumpian "they're losers and suckers" type at least views soldiers as useful idiots. Their contempt of trans people makes them incapable of even granting that.
well of course theyre not thinking about the military being people who die for their country, they're more looking forward to the military being those who attack trans people
We had a Trans Soldier in AIT. He was awesome and we had no issues. This was during the ban in 2018. No one said a thing because they met the standards so who cares.
Its shameful and pathetic that people that never tried to serve or dodged the draft are telling people that want to serve that they aren't wanted, needed or even good enough
THIS. A chickenhawk administration that can hardly mask its contempt for service members won't care, but hazardous duty assignments are a magnet for people with something to prove. If DADT had actually been enforced in front line units when I served, we wouldn't have had the staff to be deployable
Remember they want to use the army domestically, to pacify civilian protests? And who will be the first to protest as they're getting cornered if not visibly queer people? They know trans military people would not comply.
What they don't know is that the army as a whole may not comply. And having a support of the military, even a tacit one, is a major prerequisite of a successful revolution.
Yeah but that’s WITHOUT military training. It makes sense that they can’t give trans people training and equipment, you’d have thousands of Jason Bournes out there and it would be too big a threat to the government.
Funnily enough for trans men, this is kind of sort of true actually. USAF did a study on the effects of hormones on athletic ability and trans men on T for over two years beat out cis men in two out of three of the tests they did.
Correction! I misread the graph it turns out trans men on average beat out the cis man average in all three tests. Although again, these are comparing averages for a small sample size.
Considering that these guys presumably had nominal levels of T compared to cis men, I'm pretty sure it actually has more to do with skeletal structure, not to sound like a caliper freak lol.
They don’t actually after 1-2yrs of hormone therapy, but the somehow they do and don’t have an advantage when it’s most convenient as a trojan horse narrative used for justifying discrimination (i.e trans sports debate)
They say our care is too expensive when hormones are dirt cheap. They want to ban trans folks from service again so that they can later use it as an excuse to eradicate trans people for being "unpatriotic"
Agree. Kicking trans people out of the military, which has historically been used as a means for social mobility, is also an easy way of putting trans people out of jobs and benefits as well. Large amount of military positions are support roles.
On the other hand tens of thousands of angry disaffected people with combat training and a bone to pick with the government has never ended well for the government in question so we’ll see how this goes
I mean technically what they're saying is cis female athletes are all weak helpless wilting flowers that even a man with no athletic ability at all could effortlessly defeat at any physical activity. That's the plot of Ladyballers anyway.
Guarantee they'd still get drafted if shit ever hit the fan tho.
Also they say trans doesn't exist so how can you ban it from the military if it doesn't exist??
There are no such videos there. You think his existence as a homosexual man is inherently pornographic, becauseyou don't think homosexual people should exist outside of fetish pornography.

So far they want to deport all latinos 18% of the military, all the women serving, all the trans soldiers serving I'm sure all gay members, any Generals not loyal to yamtits. Who thinks we will have zero military to fight Russia unless they institute a draft or we just surrender.
You ever see a trans or drag queen fight? You do not want to fight a Trans or a drag queen for that matter. They will kick your butt. I would welcome a Trans or DRAG QUEEN ON MY SIDE ANYTIME.
It's dumb too because both men and women are allowed in the military now, so regardless of whether they consider trans people to be men dressed as women or women dressed as men, or biologically whichever, or that there's only 2 genders, they're still legally covered by that
The news media is falling for all the Trump and GOP subterfuge - while we are talking about their transphobia, Trump is picking sexual degenerates and anti vax idiots to destroy our country.
As one of them, I'm NGL... Of all the ones I've met, we kick ass and are typically praised highly within the field we work in. This $1b 20+yrs to rebuild is absolutely worth it though 😢. I'm at 15.5 years too, so yea.
no matter how they try to spin it, the logic behind the trans military ban is simply "fuck you". it isn't any more complicated than that. it solves no problem and just fucks over whatever thin margin of trans people actually wants to be in the military
They keep saying trans people dominate women's sports. So clearly, the answer is to have an all women's war and then send trans people in to dominate that!

Seriously what good does having death squads and bomb factories bring us as a nation? 0

But it seems on Fox News, about 95% of the coverage is on trans related issues.
