(CNSNews.com) - Former Vice President Joe Biden says that if he becomes president he will restore the policy followed during the Obama Administration that allowed transgender individuals to serve openly in the U.S. military.
In June 2016, the Obama-Biden Administration overturned the ban on transgender individuals serving openly, without hiding their gender identity, says The Biden Plan to Advance LGBTQ+ Equality in America and Around the World , which is posted on Bidens campaign website.
But Trump reversed this policy, barring transgender patriots from serving openly, says the Biden plan.
This is discriminatory and detrimental to our national security, says Bidens plan. Every American who is qualified to serve in our military should be able to do soregardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and without having to hide who they are.
Biden, says the plan, will direct the U.S. Department of Defense to allow transgender service members to serve openly, receive needed medical treatment, and be free from discrimination.
Here is the passage from plan to advance LGBTQ+ equality that talks about allowing transgender service members to serve openly:
Reverse the transgender military ban. In 2010, Biden played a leading role in the Obama-Biden Administrations repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tell to allow gay, lesbian, and bisexual service members to serve the country they love without hiding their sexual orientation. In June 2016, the Obama-Biden Administration overturned the ban on transgender individuals serving openly, without hiding their gender identity. But Trump reversed this policy, barring transgender patriots from serving openly. This is discriminatory and detrimental to our national security. Every American who is qualified to serve in our military should be able to do soregardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and without having to hide who they are. Biden will direct the U.S. Department of Defense to allow transgender service members to serve openly, receive needed medical treatment, and be free from discrimination.
This should turn off independent voters. Unfortunately because of the media, this will get hardly any airtime.
Good to see Joe has kept his focus on the most pressing problems we have.
Because we don’t have anything more important to do.
Go back to your basement you lecherous senile demented bastard. You will never be president plugs.
Because its not fair to the hundreds of thousands of transgender people who are clambering to enlist. #sarc
Go back to your basement you lecherous senile demented bastard.

An extremely important topic in light of the current crisis.

Democrats think that boys can become girls with a simple decision.
THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN SCIENCE!!
TRANSGENDER PERVERTS MUST BE BANNED FROM MILITARY SERVICE!!
Trump is not a politician. He's a patriot. And politicians and patriots are mutually exclusive.
That is actually not even true. It banned them if they are not deployable and the military is not paying for their cosmetic "treatment."
I direct loser Joe to go jump off the end of a long pier. With Whites around.
Amen to that.
President Trump makes decisions on what’s best for the nation and he puts America first.
Right.
Joe, You have to be of sound mind to make it to January, 2021 to take the oath. Gibberish and incoherent mixtures of sense and nonsense two lines into any interview do not show that about you.
“Aggress” that issue or you can’t be “US Senator” no matter how many lying dog faced pony soldiers you confront among the voters. Put some Doris Day and Eddie Fisher 45s on your record player and chill.
What theyre talking about are the gender-reversing surgeries, the addadicktome and chopadickoffame, not to mention the changes to breasts and butts.
Under Biden, or any Dem President, our military will become the place where would-be gender benders go to get taxpayer-funded sex-change surgeries. IMO it has less to do with them being a patriot or loving their country, than with saving a few ten-thousand dollars.
Back when I registered for the draft, being homosexual was still considered grounds for being disqualified. Now anything goes?
