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.

Kinda like how Trumps definitions of sex basically turned eveyone agender I expect them to accidentally ban eveyone from the military and then not follow their own rules
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.
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.
Thatâs why the rhetoric is so focused on kids. You torture/conversion therapy/get them to Jill themselves, then act like being trans is a âphaseâ or âfadâ or mental illness or ploy to molest girls. There arenât supposed to be ârealâ trans adults.
I have zero regrets about my transition. It really sucks that the place I live treats me as a second class citizen for being transgender, but that is on them and not me.
Your comments about trans medical care reveal a profound ignorance which isnât worth engaging with. You arenât a doctor, and your opinions on endocrinology are probably worth as much as bathroom graffiti. Your opening paragraph is a bunch of stupid, hysterical non sequiturs with no relevance to the current conversation.
Didja know that not all trans people take hormones? Also, they arenât always in pill form - your comments so far seem to indicate that you have absolutely no idea how trans medical care works. T can even be in pellets which you take every few months.
People who are on medications can join the military. I imagine someone with medical qualifications in endocrinology would be the person to make that call.
The military allowed trans people under Obama and Biden with no issues.
Maybe donât talk about issues you know nothing about?
The trans who donât take hormones wonât pass for their desired gender lol
My first speeding ticket was before I started testosterone. The officer wrote male. My drivers license still said female.
I do shots, once a week. Started every other week. No deleterious medical effects over the past ten or so years, barring some issues with high blood cell count, which is fairly easy to manage/eliminate. I do it myself - Iâm shit at z-tracking but eh, must not be fucking it up too much. Just to give you a data point, because you seem ignorant about trans people in general and Iâm glad to educate.
In a military context I can imagine it would be problematic to give oneself injections, but there are gels and the pellets. Estrogen is a pill, can also be injected. But the thing is, you can go without hormones and itâs survivable. Testosterone shortages have been a routine issue forever. Itâs not like having to skip a week detranses you.
Iâm not questioning your knowledge of the military - I am questioning your knowledge of medicine.
Not every role within the military is a combat role. I very much doubt that people with asthma or flat feet are barred working, for example, as analyst in military intelligence. And if the military does then the military should scrounge up some actual intelligence.
Military intelligence is an oxymoron, no such thing. I wouldn't have a problem if trans or people with asthma join, they'd have to be non deployable and have a desk job or something similar
Do you know what disqualifies you from military service? You don't. If you're prescribed pills for depression or even for being suicidal, you're disqualified for military service. You can't even lie about it, because they use a genesis program that will list everything.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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 thatâs not even being discussed.
Have they improved their electric and other utilities so that they don't collapse in the slightest breeze? Or are they still doing stuff like this as a distraction
Edited to add: Yeah, see reply, they just keep going. âIf being transphobic makes me a transphobe then words have lost meaningâ is⌠Well, something.
Acknowledging that males and females are different makes someone transphobic in your mind, does it?
There could, in fact, not be the category of trans if there was no gender binary. Without the moon, no cis- and translunar orbits. A boundary has to exist before it is possible to cross it or, indeed, stay within it.
That boundary is a quite bit fuzzy because gender is a bimodal distribution: Two bell curves which meet in the middle. But it clearly is there, those two humps clearly exist, they may apply to no individual but they apply, statistically, to the population as a whole, and as we're individuals and not statistics where shit gets stupid is when people are saying "you're on that side of the graph in aspect X, therefore you must be on the same side in aspect Y": It's trying to enforce a strict boundary when things are, well, fuzzy. Multi-dimensional, at the very least. There's women with beards and men who can give birth. There always have been, and if that scares you then you should learn to live and let live.
"Trans" means people who are one sex who think they are the other, or think they are a "gender" different to what their sex determined gender is. That's fine, they can identify themselves however they want in terms of "gender identity".
Gender as it is now used is basically a "feeling". It's not scientific. It's not based on science or biology or anything tangible. It's literally just feelings. This is why there should not be any laws based on "gender", but instead all based on sex - when anyone can change their gender at any time, basing anything on gender is completely pointless.
Sex is not "fuzzy". There are 2 sexes, male and female. 2 gametes. 2 chromosomes. These "men" who can give birth are females/women who "identify" as the gender of "man".
For the bearded women, facial hair doesn't determine sex.
Dunno if you deleted your comment or what but I have the notification for it so Iâll reply to this one:
XXY karotypes exist, sure - that would be a male with a DSD. All DSDs affect either a male or a female. They are disorders that affect one or both sexes, not different sexes.
Phenotypes are whole irrelevant. Theyâre just observable traits , like height or eye colour. There are no âfemale sex determining phenotypesâ.
It all is very complex, but the number of sexes isnât - male and female are all there is.
Also you used a fungus as an example of 20k sexes? This is incorrect. There are â20kâ mating types, not sexes.
but that doesnât make them untrue accusations every time.
Sure, but most of the time it does - like this time for instance! Nothing I have said is transphobic. If you think it has been, could you please quote it and show me how it is? I'm always keen to learn.
It seems like maybe you donât. Please explain to me how what I said is wrong? If their position is that trans people donât exist, how can they ban them from the military?
It's not saying "gender dysphoria is not a diagnosis that exists anywhere" it's saying "believing yourself to be transgender is a substantial enough mental illness and flaw in character so as to preclude military service."
This claims that having gender dysphoria is some sort of deficiency, and not just a non-standard identifier. This invalidates the identity of trans people, and calls into question their legitimacy.
Yes, this is. This is about making people with gender dysphoria ineligible for military service, the same way people with many other conditions are.
It has nothing to do with pronouns. It has nothing to do with same sex attraction. It has nothing to do with whatever else you want to pretend it does.

It's not saying "gender dysphoria is not a diagnosis that exists anywhere" it's saying "believing yourself to be transgender is a substantial enough mental illness and flaw in character so as to preclude military service."
This claims that having gender dysphoria is some sort of deficiency, and not just a non-standard identifier. This invalidates the identity of trans people, and calls into question their legitimacy.

Thatâs got nothing to do with this EO lol. Itâs also not a law.

This isn't happening in a vacuum.

Yes, this is. This is about making people with gender dysphoria ineligible for military service, the same way people with many other conditions are.
It has nothing to do with pronouns. It has nothing to do with same sex attraction. It has nothing to do with whatever else you want to pretend it does.

So why does it specifically talk about people with gender dysphoria?

You're gonna ignore all the other anti "dei" stuff being done? Pretend like this is just off in the corner all alone?
You're full of shit. We're done. I won't hit my head against a wall.

You are either missing the point or are willfully obtuse.
