The Secretary of Defense has frozen a decision by former President Barack Obama to recruit transgender soldiers this year, and a new poll shows the planned recruitment freeze is very popular.
Two of every three swing voters say the Pentagon should postpone plans to accept “transgender” people who are trying to live as members of the opposite sex, according to the new poll by Rasmussen Reports.
Defense Secretary James Mattis explained his July 30 decision to delay Obama’s plan for six months, just before it was to begin operating:
Since becoming the Secretary of Defense, I have emphasized that the Department of Defense must measure each policy decision against one critical standard: will the decision affect the readiness and lethality of the force? Put another way, how will the decision affect the ability of America’s military to defend the nation? It is against this standard that I provide the following guidance on the way forward in accessing transgender individuals into the military Services.
The six-month delay will encourage and help opponents lobby against Obama’s pro-transgender policy.
Throughout 2016, Obama used his power as president to push schools and other institutions to support the claim by transgender activists that people have a hidden “gender identity” which is independent of their sex and biology. These advocates also say that a person’s sex is determined by their “gender identity,” not their male-or-female body. In turn, the advocates demand that the federal government force Americans to accept the sex-switching “gender identity” claims made by each person, regardless of scientific data about genetics, biology and the variety of normal behavior and appearances shown by normal women and men.
Transgender activists were furious about Mattis’ last-minute decision to block Obama’s directive...

Seems we have a perfect example in the former president of the United States.
Indeed back to normal is good.
The last thing the military needs is more mentally ill people in the ranks.
Obama was the perfect example of why the founders insisted on a natural born citizen and tried to prevent him from being President.
Children of foreign nationals ARE NOT natural born citizens.
Great.
How’bout fixing this now:

Either these people do not understand males and females of they were purposely working to undermine the effectiveness of the Armed Services.
Have them operate a weather station at the North Pole ...
And that might further explain all the gender confusion that the Obamas loosed on us. What is loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
I dare say we have not heard the last about sexual identity from those two.

If kids have a hidden “gender identity” separate and apart from their biology they need help, to accept that biology so that they might live a healthy and successful life. For they will not do so independent of their biology.
Good post Sam.
“Transgender activists were furious”
How odd...
