Trump bans Transgendered in military.

Or at least he claims he has. It is unclear if he actually has or if he means that he will. The guy isn't very good at writing clear tweets. He claims the military can't be burdened with the extra costs and complications but I am not sure what those extra costs are off the top of my head.

Thoughts.

You didn't even troll anyone with your thread title

This is contrary to his campaign statements of course.

"Attack helicopter" is a gender.

Attack helicopters were not always attack helicopters; at one point they were all metal ore waiting to be mined.

Therefore, all attack helicopters are transgendered.

Therefore, the military can no longer use attack helicopters.

How ironic. "On July 26, 1948, President Truman issued Executive Order 9981 establishing equality of treatment and opportunity in the Armed Services." https://www.trumanlibrary.org/9981.htm

Also this:

So much for his pro-LGBTQ shtick during the campaign.

Kudos to Trump for listening to his military personnel and recognizing that the armed forces aren't a social engineering mechanism and shouldn't have to accommodate a tranny's demand for military-funded cosmetic mutilation, laser-hair removal and the construction of expensive new "gender-neutral" barracks.

Is the orange buffoon just trying to say the military shouldn't be paying for surgical transition?

IIRC that involved race.

It's the same principle, you dweeb. Bigotry is bigotry no matter how it's framed.

I don't think she knows what LGBTQ means

She probably thinks it's some kind of barbecue.

No you don't.

No, it's not the same principle.

You can't compare black Americans to transgender Americans.

Transgender Americans have way too much going on being transgender that the military doesn't need to deal with.

If a person has completed the process and is now a woman or a man and they want to join the military that's one thing. But those in the middle of changing? No. Concentrate on changing.

That's what I'm gathering, but I don't see why they can't serve in any capacity, surely the women can still be secretaries.

Complicit.

Not completely unrelated, but if IIRC the U.S. military back about a decade ago was allowing women soldiers to get breast implants without paying for the surgeon or hospital (they did have to pay for the implants themselves) because they said the work was good practice for army surgeons in treating combat related injuries.

Is that a question or a statement?

It's a Dayton.

If they are in the middle of a massive medical procedure, then clearly you are right. But many trans people aren't going towards surgery. I doubt the ones currently serving are all doing so under narcotics from a hospital bed.

Actually, Dayton is correct on this. One of my uncle's in-laws is married to a Airman and she only had to pay for the tits themselves.

Superb diversion by Trump.

Well then go protest with the flat feet idiots and the rest of the 4fs

The policy that was going in required someone to have stable in their gender for 18 months.

Trannyism is not the same as being black. An individual suffering from a mental disorder that causes them to believe they were born the wrong gender is, by definition, mentally & emotionally unstable and having such an individual in a combat situation introduces an unpredictable variable. That is something that simply can't be tolerated.

Excluding trannies from military service eliminates this unstable, unpredictable variable. Doing so is not "bigotry" as lame SJW-tards argue, but instead is the military doing what it can to maintain the most efficient fighting force possible.

No amount of cosmetic surgery and hormone treatment causes a person to switch biological & genetic gender. So, no, there is no "process" that can be completed that turns a man into a woman or vice versa.

Social experiments on the taxpayers dime should be done on well deserving hardworking folks. Like inmates.

Prove it.

Yeah, I knew a sailor who had her boobs done and she had to pay for it herself. Navy wasn't doing it.
