For any self-identified transgender people with hopes of serving in our military, there’s good news! You still can! Just maybe don’t show up to the recruiter announcing that you have a penis and expect to be sleeping in the women’s barracks.
President Trump is reportedly set to sign an executive order that will prohibit taxpayer-funded accommodations for trans-identifying people in the military. That includes hormone replacement drugs, cosmetic genital surgery, cosmetic breast removal, and mixed-sex housing. Just as when Trump did this in his first term, the media are attempting to frame the event as a cruel setback for civil rights. During an interview segment on Monday, a CNN screen graphic described the coming order as “banning transgender service members.”
According to the New York Post, a White House document previewing the order offers the administration’s reasoning for the directive. “It can take a minimum of 12 months for an individual to complete treatments after transition surgery, which often involves the use of heavy narcotics,” it says. “During this period, they are not physically capable of meeting military readiness requirements and require ongoing medical care. This is not conducive for deployment or other readiness requirements.”
In the coming days, we’re going to endlessly hear the usual “there is no evidence” lines from the media and Democrats who would swear on a Bible that unnecessarily screwing with a person’s physical anatomy and hormonal chemistry is no more disruptive than a routine check-up.
So what if he had his penis split down the middle and sewn to his inner thighs? He — I mean, she — will be back on duty tomorrow! No fuss, no muss!
That’s nonsense, obviously. It takes weeks to recover from a routine tonsil removal. Patients who undergo...

That photo says more about our military than it does about transgenders.
Diabetics can’t join the Marines for the same reason.
It would seem to me that someone of that particular persuasion would be a security risk as well as a detriment to unit cohesion. But what do I know as I’m just a hillbilly from central Texas.
Stop feeding the seagulls and they’ll leave.
The men also have to painfully dilate their permanent wound they use as an excuse for a vagina daily. Hardly ready for duty or the battlefield.
Back when I was a recruiter, you were ineligible if you had an undescended testicle. And even that was correctible with surgery and didn’t require maintenance after it was done.
And - the mentally ill men who think they are women get no break on the physical fitness scoring scales.
If you have XX chromosomes: you use the Male standards.
Yes, there is a significant difference.
Hills? In Texas?
Lots of them. Mountains too!
I don’t know about now, but asthma was a disqualifying condition to enlist.
They should be actively banned.
Yea
When they tell us how there’s no evidence of problems with transgenders, they are implying there has to be some official scientific study conducted on the subject, in order for anyone to conclude that there is a problem with transgender people being in the military.
The way they frame the debate, unless an official study of some sort was done, we aren’t allowed to draw conclusions about the suitability of transgender people in the military.
So that means the way they set up these debates, we aren’t allowed to talk about someone needing constant medical attention, injections , hormones etc, in some obvious issues involved with such a person being in a combat zone.
It’s absurd what this is what the liberals and media will say.
If you can’t set aside your personal preferences and secret inner weirdness for the great good of the organization, you probably don’t belong there.
So how can anyone that has ever been in the military thinks that it is ok that a group of people that have had this done can never be deployed?
It has got to be a huge hit to unit cohesiveness to allow trannies to stay back and wave goodby as a unit deploys
You’re “trans” and want to join the military? You can, just check your “trans” mental obsession at the door, it won’t be accomodated.
That man in that photo has a family. Maybe if someone had encouraged him to be the woman he wants to be when he was fifteen, his future wife would have steered clear of him and not had children with him.
Those Personal issues are a distraction from the core mission of serving the military.. still can’t believe the military was paying for surgeries. Prison as well. Insanity.
