White House announces ban on most transgender service members
See BS ^ | 3/23/18

Posted on 03/23/2018 6:34:56 PM PDT by markomalley

The White House announced Friday that the Trump administration would implement its ban on all transgender service in the military "except under certain limited circumstances." It would also stop all use of Defense Department or Homeland Security resources to fund new sex reassignment surgeries, except to protect the health of individuals who have already begun treatment to reassign his or her sex. The announcement was expected, since it was part of President Trump's executive memo in August 2017 renewing a former transgender military service

According to the White House memo, "transgender persons with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria -- individuals who the policies state may require substantial medical treatment, including medications and surgery -- are disqualified from military service except under certain limited circumstances."

The memo further states "the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, with respect to the U.S. Coast Guard, may exercise their authority to implement any appropriate policies concerning military service by transgender individuals."

It’s not irony, it’s deliberate.

Don’t care.

After signing the God awful spending bill and the damage to the 2A he has caused and is continuing to cause, he could pass out free gold bars to little old ladies and I still wouldn’t support him.

Greece had problems drafting soldiers. Every boy said he didn’t want to leave his brothers behind.
