The United States Air Force Academy showcased a transgender-identifying activist and military service member who seeks to embed far-left gender ideology in the armed forces for a speech on leadership and inclusion.
Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram, an engineer with the United States Space Force and activist for transgenderism in the military, spoke at the National Character and Leadership Symposium, the theme of which was “Embrace Culture, Empower People.” The military official states that he is a co-leader of the Department of the Air Force LGBTQ+ Initiatives Team, which he says is “dedicated to eliminating barriers to LGBTQ+ military service in the Air and Space Force.”
Fram was introduced at the Air Force Academy event as “one of the highest-ranking out transgender officers in the United States military” and a “featured speaker on leadership, diversity, and inclusion.” He is also an activist on behalf of transgenderism, previously serving as the president of SPARTA, “a non-profit that advocates and educates about transgender military service.”

“Inclusion takes action, inclusion requires asking, inclusion requires understanding, and it is more work, it is a lot more work for a leader but I need you to be willing to do it,” Fram said to the crowd while wearing a patch on his uniform bearing a rainbow flag. “In the future, we are going to fight and win war with brain power, and if those brains happen to be in a trans body … you should want them serving alongside you. Because they might be the ones that revolutionize the way we fight in space, in cyber or in any other domain of war.”
The speech comes as the Pentagon has promoted a leftwing agenda, asking for a whopping $114 million in fiscal year 2024 alone to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts such as “unconscious bias diversity training,” and “training programs and diversity and inclusion initiatives,” a Daily Wire investigation revealed. The Air Force’s LGBT Initiatives Team, which Fram has helped lead, has also pushed leftwing ideology in the military, celebrating transgender day of visibility.
The far-left ideological capture of America’s military coincides with an unprecedented recruiting crisis, with the Air Force, the Army, and the Navy all missing their recruiting goals in fiscal year 2023 and a particularly sharp decline in white recruits. Republican officials have warned that the politicization of the military could be alienating citizens who would otherwise consider joining the armed forces.
But despite concerns that the far-left agenda might be dissuading potential recruits, Fram went on to ask those with leadership positions in the military to support leftwing agendas, showing a slide that says military members can “be allies by standing with and supporting marginalized communities … and advocates by speaking out and raising awareness on issues.”
He also appeared to express concern over the potential reelection of former President Donald Trump.
“While I don’t have a crystal ball, I can look out and say, ‘Well, either next year things will be great or I will be fighting for my ability to continue serving,'” Fram said.
Fram has a history of pushing the transgender agenda in the military, arguing that inclusion is a matter of national security at a recent women’s empowerment conference.
He also spoke at a Department of Defense Pride event in 2022, where he was introduced as an “unwavering advocate for transgender service members” who “transitioned while in command position.”
He explained that he taught a lesson on leadership to military officers, where he shared with them that he “was two days away from a 10-hour surgery to give me a new lease on life.” He also celebrated that a colleague of his changed official Air Force policy to allow service members to include their pronouns in their bio “including they/them for our non-binary service members.”
“We must focus on … intentional inclusivity,” Fram said before adding, “For all of you out there, I ask you to set out your symbols of pride, share your pronouns in your email, particularly if you’re a person who doesn’t think they need to, initiate difficult conversations about racial and gender barriers, and share a bit of your vulnerability in a way that draws others in.”
“Remember that we mark Pride not beginning with a celebration, but with a riot,” he said in the speech. “I’m not asking you to pick up your bricks, but I am asking you to pick up your ideas about how we can be a more inclusive service.”
Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram did not respond to a request for comment.
It never leaves......................
My alma mater continues to sink into the abyss right along with the Titan submersible. They don’t care though. Aside from following the football team, I’ve cut off all interactions with them. No donations, no support for the AOG, the Air Force Academy Fund and whatever other BS they solicit. It’s all I can do.
If Donald Trump should return to the White House in 2025 he has to immediately purge the U.S. military of all of the leftwing Social experimentation that’s occurred since the Obama/Biden administrations.
The Nation can ill afford to have a Military force that is so psychologically held hostage by these leftist political freaks.
We need to return to the Military times when we actually Won wars.
The service academies are just as liberal/far left as Harvard or Berkeley now, maybe even more so! Very sad.
“The Pentagon official helped lead an organization that pushed ‘transgender day of visibility’ in the military”
“The Pentagon official helped lead an organization that pushed ‘transgender day of visibility’ in the FUBAR military”
There, fixed it
Nothing says "unit cohesion" like having to remember someone's preferred pronouns while under fire
I’m dreading the next issue of “Checkpoints”.
Just read an article that 42% of the faculty are now civilian professors. Let’s say for a mimute that they are a little less liberal that the average rate of 90% liberal professors at civilian institutions, we’ll call it 60% which is probably low, and you have a real problem. Add to that the majority of instructors ar 0-3 and 0-4 which means they were commissioned anywhere from 2010 to 2018 and were indoctrinated in this nonsense not long ago, and the place is essentially irredeemable.
Not Enough! Every sane Alumnus from the Academy needs to go there and say “Bullshit!” To this bullshit. It needs to be ugly, because this perverse war on America is ugly. Every football game, basketball game etc.. Protest is as American as Apple Pie, and is the birthright of every citizen. You have a solemn duty to do so.
It would save a lot money, and with the few semi-conservative so-called 'institutions of higher learning' (almost impossible to find now days)--you might get less far-left indoctrination!
It is called STARRS, Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services!

I’ve enjoyed the content at starrs.us. Two of the Officers are classmates of mine.
I'm sure he uses "she/her" pronouns. This was probably just the Daily Wire not bending the knee to tranny delusions like every other media outlet does.
LOL...maybe he owns the company. Could never buy another one of those now, Purolator here from. ow on!
The Office of Military Absurdities will probably ban, along with
- Mother
- Father
the following:
- basic
- fundamental
- truth
Great. Thanks. I have been advocating in polite conversation to shut the place down for years now. There is nothing special about it and you can get the same education and doctrination at a civilian school.
The service academies are nothing more than big government, far-left indoctrination factories now.
They no longer represent traditional American values.
POS Blinken has already banned those words in the State Department.....Along with brother, sister, wife, husband, or any non-neutral nouns.......................
