Transgender Lawmaker Bashes Expected Trump Executive Order on Trans Servicemembers
Breitbart ^ | 01/27/2025 | OLIVIA RONDEAU

A transgender Minnesota lawmaker has argued that President Donald Trump’s expected executive order to ban those who identify as trans from serving in the U.S. military “will only make our military less ready.”

State Rep. Leigh Finke (D), a biological man who identifies as a woman, became Minnesota’s first transgender legislator in 2023, Breitbart News reported.

In a Monday segment with CNN’s Pamela Brown, the activist politician addressed reports of the incoming executive order, which is aimed at reinstating Trump’s ban on openly transgender enlistees and prohibition of military-funded medical transitions from his first term in office.

“There is no evidence anywhere that has been presented that transgender service members are anything but qualified to be a part of our military service,” Finke said:

Men being operated on and in recovery and needing to stay stateside to take a regime of pills for life are hardly ready for deployment ...

Th3ey never go overseas on deployment for the whole time they are in the military...

Nobody else in need of constant healthcare get to be accepted into the military...

A friend’s kid was rejected from the Air Force ROTC after receiving the highest scholarship, Type 1. The rejection was 2 weeks after being presented the scholarship offer at high school awards night by an Air Force officer. His rejection was medical because he had an allergic reaction to peanuts when he was 8. He was deemed non-deployable because he carries an epipen which he has never used.

These trannies need ongoing medical care and medication. How can they be deemed deployable?

Plus, they’ve proven themselves to be ferals, howling about genocide and viciously going after anyone opposed to their ideology. How is having a bunch of ferals going to help unit cohesion?

“The military is the largest employer of transgender Americans,”

And that’s supposed to be a GOOD thing?

When that issue is removed from the military, it removes distractions that weaken the whole organization. They need to leave.

All you have to do is remember that a team is only as good as its weakest link. That alone should scare the hell out anyone.

Well my question is:
If trans have to take hormone and various other mood altering meds. How could they stay In the military.
If anyone else takes antidepressants or mood altering meds, they can be discharged.

"will only make our military less ready"


Sure, we can rid ourselves of these evil beings by sending them to the front-line in all firefights flapping their fabulous wrists, glittery mascara and eyelashes around to terrify the enemy (or laugh them to death)..
THEN we will be ready.

Don’t think that Finke would be Gustavo Petro’s type looks-wise.
