With three tweets, the leader of the largest employer in the country just tried to lay off all trans people in the military. Many service members who were just told “we want you” are suddenly being told “go away.” The sudden reversal by the administration, from allowing trans people to serve openly in the military to outright banning us, is a devastating blow to our livelihoods, our basic humanity, our survival. It is also a devastating blow to the entire credibility of the United States military for years to come.
This is all painfully familiar. Once upon a time, I was denied the ability to even exist as who I am. I had to hide. I had to be in the closet. I had to lie to people I stood next to. I had to virtually eradicate my own existence from myself. I served as a gay person under “don’t ask, don’t tell,” and also as a trans person under the ban on open transgender service.

Trump’s order is just reinstating a previous policy.
Why is it the 0.0025% are always demanding they be allowed to drive the national car on our trip?
When do the 99.9975% get a chance?
They’re just after a free, gender reassignment surgery. What’s next? ugly people joining for free plastic surgery? Toothless people for free implants?
“Chelsea Manning: President Trump, Trans People in the Military Are Here to Stay”
Until they’re not.
And the traitor Bradley/Chelsea Manning’s thoughts on US military policy are relevant why?

Manning, poster it for banning mental cases from the military...
Ok wait a sec. I think that could be a good idea. Ugly people aren’t crazy, they really ARE ugly. Military surgeons need practice. Sounds like a good deal for everyone.
Did the NYT just quote a traitor to this country in defense of Trannies?
How much did your sex change cost us?
How about this; Go back to don’t ask, don’t tell, no sex change ops and everyone bunks and showers with others having the same genital equipment?
cause ‘ Chelsea’ Manning to pay back every dime of whatever it costs to have his dick cut off .
Radio talk show host Chris Plante mentioned that Manning is a convicted felon and yet is registered to vote in the DC area.
Assuming I'm correct do you realize that openly and publicly criticizing your Commander-In-Chief could subject you to further court martial charges and specifications?
Just how many, ‘Trannies’ ARE there in our Military since 0bama said this was A-OK? 10? 15? Versus our force of, what, 2 MILLION and change?
SO TIRED of, ‘Trannie Tyranny!’
#TrannieTyrannyMustStop
Traitor. Pervert. Loser.
Bradley Manning, poster child for why “transgender” freaks DO NOT BELONG in our military!!!
The fact that this traitor thinks any sane person cares what he has to say about this is just more evidence that Leftards are deranged evil nutjobs.
