The White House’s ban on transgender troops serving in the military is set to take effect Friday.
The ban will prevent all troops who have surgically changed their sex, require hormone treatment, or have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria from enlisting in the U.S. military.
However, all enlisted troops who have already transitioned or have requested sex changes prior to Friday’s deadline will be allowed to maintain their posts.
The Trump administration first announced its intent to ban trans troops from serving back in 2017, but was only allowed to move forward with the measure after receiving Supreme Court approval back in January this year.
How can President Trump claim to represent all U.S citizens, regardless of sexual orientation, when he banned transgenders from joining the military? Isn't that discrimination?
Trey Gowdy's Response:
"Nobody has a right to serve in the Military. Nobody! What makes you people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? It is very far from it - and for good reasons - let me cite a few.
The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short. Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers."
He went on to explain: "By the way, poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth. Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back? Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety? Phobias? Hearing damage? Six arms? Hear voices in your head? Self-identification as a Unicorn? Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair? Can't run the required course in the required time? Can't do the required number of push-ups? Not really a morning person? and refuse to get out of bed before noon? All can be legitimate reasons for denial.
The Military has one job: Winning War. Anything else is a distraction and a liability. Did someone just scream, that isn't fair? War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful. YOU must change yourself to meet Military standards and not the other way around.
I say again: You don't change the Military - you must change yourself. The Military is not about being fair, it is about taking advantage of others and about winning. The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The Military needs to Win Wars and keep our Country safe - PERIOD! If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness, Thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors.
Any other questions?"
Who thinks it’s a good idea to arm delusional people that don’t even know what’s between their legs?
That’s a fine response.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!
Exceptional comment!!!!!
Should be read aloud at every military recruitment/ induction center...
Amen it’s good to hear the truth and slap a liberal to wise them up they have been under their rock to long.
But the military IS affirmative action, and has quotas to fill.
Especially for the academies. They turn away stronger, smarter, and in all ways better qualified white males in favor of females and minorities.
So we aren’t allowing our country’s best to lead our ranks.
Good
BRAVO!!!
Good. Now, “allow” those who identify as trans or who have had surgery to transition early release from their terms of enlistment. Stop degrading military capability with social experimentation to “normalize” this stuff. It’s the military, not a progressive liberal college campus/business. Grrr....
Trey Gowdy nailed it, the US Military is NOT a democracy.
Klinger is probably going to trigger a boycott of MASH re-runs, because Max is a good soldier and crafty (if not exactly very smart) guy who is equating gender identity to insanity.
The USA is not a democracy either, but I doubt most sheeple realize or understand the import of that.
Have you got a link to that? Sometimes these are not said by politicians they are accredited to- He said all this in the spur of the moment? Sounds more like a carefully written and thought out response, but perhaps he did say it off top of his head, i dunno- just would like verification as we’ve been burnt a number of times posting things that turned out not to have been said by folks-
ok- he ‘may or may not have said these things’ a comment was posted on social media site days before it appeared on Trey’s community site, but no author was cited for the post-

BEST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For Sure He is.
I’m not sure of its authenticity either but regardless, what was said is the truth.
The transgender LGBTQRXYZ push is a major one by the left
Regular normal Americans look at this Askance and with disdain
It is well proven that at least 90% of those that undergo sex change end up regretting it and either being depressed her committing suicide or trying to undo it
The good Lord gives you one or the other sex and it’s always for a reason
I think if you want to dress up in the other sexes clothes otherwise known as transvestism well Gee that’s fine like Klinger on mash
But is soon as you start demanding x Y and z and are promoting indoctrinating children into the idea and or demand to be have special treatment that’s where we have to draw the line
Ok Klingers of the world?
