The Department of Defense has issued new guidance ordering the military services to begin the process of discharging transgender members of the Armed Forces in 30 days. The new policy recognizes only two sexes; it requires members of the Armed Forces to adhere to the physical fitness and grooming standards of their biological sex.

Any attempt at chemically or surgically changing sex makes the person unsuitable for military service. If a person had, at some point, been transgender they can be retained if they "demonstrate “36 consecutive months of stability” in their sex with no “clinically significant distress or impairment” if they can prove they have “never attempted to transition to any sex other than their sex” and if they are willing to adhere to “all applicable standards” relating to their sex."

I hope all the discharges are dishonorable.

On the battlefield or in the barracks, who’s supposed to make sure that they’ve taken their med’s?

A move that improves mission readiness,troop morale *and* recruiting. And it saves the DoD billions in health care,etc,etc.

Yes,that would be good...but “general” is probably the best we could do. Anything less than that would result in many,many lawsuits.

Just think, getting the military back to the strac days. Physically and mentally fit people that are well trained, well disciplined and look sharp.

We go to a nearby AFB’s commissary. Looking at many of the service members is just depressing. Fat slobs, untidy uniforms and a few other facts I probably should not mention. It’s such a contrast to what it was 20 years ago when most, especially senior NCO’s and officers, looked great.

A DD would be wrong, they would be considered a felon. Yes they might be messed up in the head but that does not mean they are criminal.

A dishonorably equates to a felony. So no, this will never happen. They are mentally ill people and may qualify for a medical or something else not as severe as dishonorable.

That's an interesting exception.

As I understand it, a person who has contemplated being transgender and discussed it with others but never took any actions to present as such can fit the exception, provided they meet all other conditions (36 months of stability in their biological sex, no distress, adherence to standards).

The policy’s focus on “never attempted to transition” means that internal thoughts or private discussions, without any outward actions, do not disqualify someone. However, they must fully revert to and maintain their biological sex identity and presentation to remain in service, aligning with the DoD’s strict biological sex framework.

Sad to say, but under the
circumstances, they’ll
probably be released under a
general discharge and be eligible
for any medical descrepancies
incured while being a member of
the armed forces. Current levels
of didability apply unless the
VA is redirected to treat otherwise.
In my opinion, something I’m
sure is being addressed.

Does anyone know how many “transgenders” there are in the US military?

“how many transgenders in the military”? same as in civilian population...NONE! there are mentally and emotionally unstable people who believe themselves to of a sexual orientation that they CLEARLY are not when subjected to a DNA sample to determine their chromosome make up, either XX or XY. period.

They ought to bring back Section VIII of the Army discharge reg. It put transgenderism in the same class as low intelligence, pathological lying, psychopathy, personality disorders, bed wetting, psychosis, antisocial behavior, necrophilia, bestiality and pederasty.

They were defective human beings unfit for any degree of socialization before they went insane. Sin produces guilt and guilt produces mental illness.

Humans are just not equipped to tolerate living with a guilty conscience. Something has to give and usually it's the human mind.

Would assume continues medical issues as well. We had folks kicked out for meds they were on, and were not compatible with deployment

Which is going to dump them onto the VA system like there aren't enough problems there already.
