"We should be disqualified at enlistment because we are medically reliant" Reacting to President Trump’s announcement preventing transgender people in the military, Edie Dixon, a transgender man who identifies as a woman, told the Blaze on July 27 that he agrees with the president’s decision, saying that transgenders are “no better” than diabetics or asthmatics, and “should be disqualified” from the military. According to the Blaze, Dixon is a Trump supporter and a resident of Oregon. When the Blaze’s Allie Stuckey asked Dixon for his reaction to Trump’s announcement last week, Dixon replied, “I’m actually very satisfied. This is Trump...

Black Trannies Protest @Cthagod During An Event Over Comedian @lilduval Joke On @breakfastclubam !

If I say there are only two genders does this fact constitute 'hate speech' nowadays? After all, I am speaking against the authoritarian gender ideology that's being pushed on children right now. My disagreement with the agenda and with the attempts to socially engineer society is a form of political dissent in their eyes.

A transgender ex-Navy surgeon says she will perform free gender-confirming surgery for the service members on her list who have been affected by Donald Trump's new ban on trans people serving in the military. "If the commander-in-chief won't take care of our veterans, our veterans will," Dr. Christine McGinn told CNN's Michael Smerconish on Saturday. McGinn's transition began in 2000, the same year she was named senior flight surgeon at the Willow Grove Naval Air Station, then the largest reserve base in the country. She was later nominated for flight surgeon of the year for the entire U.S. Navy. Today,...

LA PLATA COUNTY, Colo. -- The father of a missing Colorado 13-year-old was arrested Saturday in connection with the boy's 2012 death, the La Plata County Sheriff's Office said. Editor's note: This story contains disturbing elements. A grand jury had issued an indictment for Mark Redwine after establishing probable cause in connection with the killing of his son, Dylan Redwine. "The investigation into Dylan's disappearance and death spanned four and a half years, culminating in Saturday's arrest," the sheriff's office said.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that he wouldn’t allow transgender individuals to serve in the military:

Donald Trump has finally returned the U.S. military to sound service policy when it comes to the gender-confused. For nearly the whole history of the U.S. military, and for almost as long as the idea of a “transgendered” person has existed, and for reasons that sounded-minded people have long understood and accepted, individuals who imagined themselves “trapped in the wrong body” (or some version of such perversion) have been barred from serving in any branch of the U.S. armed forces. The only thing that should be up for debate here is why this took so long. Perhaps it was just...

Infamous military whistleblower and transgender activist (Bradley)Chelsea Manning responded on Wednesday to President Trump's Twitter announcement that transgender people would no longer be allowed to serve in the U.S. armed forces.

The people whining about the Administration’s latest decision – formally returning to the exclusion of "transgendered people" from the military - apparently don't understand what the military is for. The Armed Services are not a corner bakery or grocery store. They’re not a school or customer service center, a factory or shopping mall. The military is not a social justice experiment. The military is a collection of government departments, constitutionally chartered to do certain things that only the government can do (as opposed to things that are better done by the private sector): keeping our borders secure, engaging or defending...

Shortened title. Full title: Transgender Navy SEAL slams Trump for banning servicemembers: 'Let's meet face to face and you tell me I'm not worthy' A transgender former Navy SEAL has spoken out against President Trump’s ban on transgender military members, saying he is preventing soldiers from doing their service. “Let's meet face to face and you tell me I'm not worthy,” Kristin Beck, a retired SEAL Team 6 member who has fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, told Business Insider.

Debate is raging on social media about President Trump's decision on Wednesday to reverse an Obama-era policy and ban transgender individuals from serving openly in the military, but how did service members perceive the policy in the first place? A Military Times/Institute for Veterans and Military Families poll of 1,664 active-duty troops conducted on a voluntary and confidential basis as President Barack Obama's term was coming to an end last December found significantly more respondents believed it to be hurtful than helpful. The Washington Examiner's David Freddoso reported on the survey upon its release last January: Service members are divided...

Earlier today, President Trump announced that the new Department of Defense policy on transgender was the old policy in effect before Obama’s Secretary of Defense Ash Carter ordered it changed.* Most hot button issues have a gestation period so the sudden appearance of transgenders in the military as a topic of discussion was as shock to just about everyone. Politic has an interesting story on how this all came to pass. Nearly two weeks ago, the House was debating the Defense Authorization Act. Included in the bill was an amendment that forbid Department of Defense from spending funds on “gender...

President Trump has declared that he rolling back Obama’s policy of allowing transgendered people to serve “in any capacity” in the US military. The usual suspects have come out of the woodwork stating how “discriminatory” this policy reversal is and that it is fuelled by bigotry. I don’t know the President well enough to determine if his decision is based on bigotry or not; but looking at some basic information regarding transgendered people gives enough of a reason to accept that this ban is the right course of action. In the US, more than 20 veterans commit suicide every day...

Let me make yesterday’s news simple: 1. Good call, President Trump, banning transgenders in the military. I don’t care how you self-identify in civilian life, I don’t think the entire U.S. military should have to spend massive amounts of money accommodating .03% of the population, - only a handful of whom would actually want to serve in the military for any reason other than getting free gender reassignment surgery. Just buy a bottle of Gender-Fluid and get on with your life.Not, mind you, that I don’t enjoy a good tomato fight as much as the next guy… I just don’t...

President Trump on Wednesday called a reporter “very rude” for asking him during a ceremony on the White House lawn how he decided to ban transgender people from serving in the military. A female journalist shouted the question to the president on the South Lawn after he spoke to a gathering of American Legion Auxiliary youth. Trump paused, shook his head and told the children, “She’s very rude.” The president shocked much of Washington when he announced on Twitter on Wednesday morning that transgender people could no longer serve in the military.

FULL TITLE: Celebrities Melt Down over Trump’s Transgender Military Policy: ‘You Just Pissed Off the Wrong Community’ Hollywood stars took to social media Wednesday to express outrage over President Donald Trump’s announcement that transgender people will not be allowed to serve in the U.S. military, reversing former President Obama’s decision last year allowing them to do so. “After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,” President Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. “Our military must be focused on...
