Trump Cabinet member's daughter rips transgender ban
The Hill ^ | 08/26/17 04:19 PM EDT | JOHN BOWDEN

Posted on 08/26/2017 3:31:27 PM PDT by COBOL2Java

The daughter of one of President Trump's Cabinet secretaries apparently wrote a social media post last month slamming his proposed ban on transgender individuals entering the military.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's daughter Jennifer Detlefsen, who is a Navy veteran, sharply criticized the proposal, calling the president a "disgrace," the Billings Gazette reported Friday.

A screenshot of the post published by the Gazette shows a quote from an NPR story about Trump's announcement on Twitter last month that reads “the United States Government will not accept or allow … Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military.”

In the caption, Zinke's daughter blasted Trump and said that the ban was "inexcusable."

“This man is a disgrace. I've tried to keep politics out of my social media feed as much as possible, but this is inexcusable,” read her post on July 26, which still appeared online on Saturday.

"This veteran says sit down and shut the f--k up, you know-nothing, never-served piece of s--t," she added.

Hey stupid beyatch, it’s about our military readiness and morale, not about anybody’s stupid hurt feelings. You want to be a butch, pretend-man? Then go be a plumber, idiot.

Hmmm, there does seem to be a positive correlation between the problems the country has befallen and women gaining the right to vote but can you prove it wouldn’t have happened anyway?

Who cares about a daughter of a cabinet member. Reagan’s sons trash Trump, too.

“I don’t get it either. I have an opinion though.”

If you are a man, you are capable of understanding the harm it does. Which is not to say that every man necessarily gets this, but in 66 years I have never run across a woman who does.

I knew a lesbian who said they are disgusted by gay men and what they do to one another. Any other reaction by lesbians is purely political.

Disgust is appropriate, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate a full understanding.

Wow, from her website you could never tell she was a Navy vet or even who her father is. Could she be ashamed of both?

Read the bio now before it’s gone:

Artist Statement

I make art about the double standards, taboos and cultural expectations that govern the lives and bodies of women. I question why our society sanctifies the mother, reviles the whore, and refuses to recognize that we are capable of being both at once. The duality of hot glass inspires me with its sensuality, luster, unruliness and desire to above all else make one hell of a scene. Using molten fire and the color pink, I chip away at stereotypes of feminine frivolity and rewrite my archetype of what it means to be a strong woman. Girls are inundated with pink marketing from birth, and then exposed to a culture which denigrates its power and importance. I embrace the task of rebranding my chosen hue as a symbol of provocative intensity. The color of blushing lovers, budding cherries, the perfect cupid’s bow of a baby’s mouth, new life and sunsets and sex, pink is present in the moments of sweetness and silliness that make life worth living.

Bio

Once upon a time, a little girl lived in a house on a hill between the mountains and the sea, and she was told she could grow up to become anything in the world. This blue-eyed girl was fearless and fierce, with endless imagination and a quick mind, but she was also terribly lonely, because she had only orchard lizards and books to be her friends. One day, the little girl left the house on the hill, and she moved all around the world. In each new home, she tried to make friends, but could never seem to fit in with the other children. The lonely little girl grew into a woman who searched desperately for somewhere to belong. She sought that solace at the bottom of the ocean and soaring through the clouds – she searched through blood and sweat and sex and religion and love. She fit herself into the tiny coffins of other peoples personalities, and learned to smile and laugh and pretend; if she was only a little more quiet, a little less opinionated, had a better haircut, perhaps, she would finally find the family she craved. And then, quite to her surprise, the young woman had two bright-eyed daughters of her own. All of the fierceness that the woman had toned down over the years, all of the passion and fire came rushing back. Flooded with strength and love, she couldn’t remember why it had ever been so important to her to fit in – and she wouldn’t let her daughters grow up in a world where they felt the need to, either. So the blue-eyed girl picked up a pen, and then a paintbrush, and then her own wand of fire. She began to make art – about womanhood, about motherhood, about taboos and double standards and expectations. About the roles we are given – about reminding the world that we never really needed its permission in the first place. And she lived happily – enough – ever after.

(Biography Translation for Those Not Fluent in Fairy-Tale)

Jen Detlefsen is a Virginia-based glass artist, writer, mother, and veteran. Living and traveling abroad have awakened her curiosity about how different cultural taboos exert influence on the lives and bodies of women. Her creative practice is bound by themes of masculine/feminine dichotomy, double standards, motherhood, and literature’s impact on gender roles. Both lover and mother, Jennifer reminds the viewer that her daughters are not the result of immaculate conception, but conceived of the same passion that she pours into her work. Jen is currently in her second semester of the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio Assistant Residency and will be attending VCUArts to finish her BFA starting in Fall 2017.

All military trannies should be assigned to Pentagon duty. If the brass wants to virtue signal with them let them share restrooms with those freaks.

“He must have done a terrible job as a parent to have raised such a foul-mouthed pig.”

My mama said, and now six decades later I can confirm, that bad people sometimes have great kids, and good people sometimes have terrible kids.

It’s not always the parents. Sometimes a kid just goes wrong...or right.

What an embarrassment. These perverts have absolutely ZERO manners

As noted above, YOU pay all costs associated with the perversion. Screw you.

How nice to embarrass yourself AND your family, loser.
