WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed an order Monday reversing a Trump-era Pentagon policy that largely barred transgender individuals from serving in the military.
The new order, which Biden signed in the Oval Office during a meeting with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, overturns a ban ordered by President Donald Trump in a tweet during his first year in office. It immediately prohibits any service member from being forced out of the military on the basis of gender identity.
The decision comes as Biden plans to turn his attention to equity issues that he believes continue to shadow nearly all aspects of American life. Ahead of his inauguration, Biden’s transition team circulated a memo saying Biden planned to use his first full week as president “to advance equity and support communities of color and other underserved communities.”

“America is stronger, at home and around the world, when it is inclusive. The military is no exception,” the order says. “Allowing all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform is better for the military and better for the country because an inclusive force is a more effective force. Simply put, it’s the right thing to do and is in our national interest.”

Interesting that since the pandemic the left has been screaming “follow the science!” Well if they follow the science they will find that transgenders have psychological problems that make them to claim what they are not.
Transgenders will bankrupt the VA. I hope all you veterans realize that.
I fear so unless we can find a way to stop them from stealing elections. That's gonna be a tough one with mail-in ballot popularity, physical re-running ballots, ignoring their State Constitution regarding lawful Elector Laws, trucking in boxes of out of State ballots into Swing states, and Dominion machines.
Obviously, the Dem socialist/communist machine now in control will do nothing. Got solution?
Transgenders in the military make NO sense.
They are hormone dependent, physically mutilated, mentally deficient and subject to wild mood disruptions because of their artificial hormones (and see how well that works out when their supply lines are cut off in the battlefield and they revert.)
“Corporal Tranny Kilinger is swinging it in the Ladies Showers again, Seargeant!”
“Suck it up, Private!
I have a former marine buddy. He has 100% disability. The problems he has with the VA are amazing. The problems remind me of the book “Catch 22.” Crazy stuff. Stupid stuff.
Readiness and war fighting skills are at the bottom of the list of concerns. This military is already rotten with political correctness and will only smell even more.
So, no one has to follow his orders.
Will trannies fight in all the wars “biden” will get us into?
Speaking of “pole smokers,” who has the picture of William P Barr smoking a pole with John Roberts pushing Barr’s stool in? Jus’ askin’!
As long as everyone with a condition where they need constant meds is also acceptable. I thought that was why they were banned.
Fine with me. My sons aren’t going to fight any phony wars for Biden.
How does this help us kill the enemy and destroy things?
I’ll admit that social justice is an effective weapon being used by the Left in our own country. But, I doubt it would help us win an armed conflict.
Our next war is alredy lost. A draft dodging,..., commnder in chief. When will this country REPENT? There is no rest for the wicked. Abortions, abomonation parades, teahing lies to children, allowing abomination couples to foster and adopt children. ICHABOD! LET him who has an ear, hear.
Since the military is the last surviving bastion of pro-American sentiment in the US government, Biden needed to purge the military.
Now that homosexuals and transsexuals are allowed in the military, they will probably be fast-tracked into leadership positions, from which all promotions will be controlled.
A couple of years from now, the purge will be complete, and the military will be as gay and effeminate as one’s local library. their fight capability will be completely hollowed out, as will their tradition of pro-American patriotism.
Imagine that... an anti-USA USA military.
Looking forward, a silver lining is that with the USA military becoming 100% gay, they can no longer be a credible threat to the civilian population if an anti-government uprising were to occur...
Would it be better for America to allow schizophrenics into the military? I seem to be under the mistaken impression that reality and functionality should have some consideration in deciding the outcomes of wars.
Who will be the first Queer General??? Army going to the fags and trans...is the dumbest thing ever done by the military....
The Commander of the 89th (0-6) at Andrews showed up with her “wife” (So confusing...I guess that is the correct title) to greet obama...
