Donald Trump to ‘kick all 15,000 transgender soldiers out of the US Army’

I mean outside of America we are still going to all let this happen. We are all marching straight into WW3 like the "this is fine" meme.

Should we survive as a species I look forward to 50 years from now where America adopts strong anti-facism laws like Germany has.

Question is, who is the good guy in this new world we are entering?

FWIW as a Canadian we are so fucked. America is going to come knocking for our resources soon and we won't be able to say no.

Looks like well-regulated militias are back on the menu

I'm under the impression it would devastate the livelihood of those people.

It has long been said that if all the furries and catgirls disappeared it would cause the internet to collapse overnight.

Coding socks are the new contraband.

Next they'll go after the furries and take all the navy's data centers offline

It's part of the plan. fucking traitor.

Pfft, that shits been contracted out for years (honestly understandable, hard to have consistent network defense with a constantly rotating (deploying) workforce of active duty military)

And still, we let him live.

I mean... They've only been allowed quite recently..

Weakening the USA's defenses seems to be a consistent theme with Trump.

Well, the problem is you're thinking logically. It's an ideological victory on both ends for him.

Conservatives view this as strengthening the military, not weakening it.

The actual strength of America's Military doesn't matter because they don't have hostile nations on their borders. So when America's Military loses some of their force projection ability it can be used to say we're turning towards isolationist policy, which is also a win for him. (From the Putin angle and from the Conservative one)

And, again, if you point out that this move will weaken the American Military, well what are you? A terrorist who doesn't believe they have the greatest, manliest fighting force ever seen?

Elon will supply robot troops for the clone war.

I was once near to (but did not interact with) Jamie Farr maybe 10 years ago. It's really hard to see him and not picture him in a dress.

His legacy was that after the first go round.

This time it may be destroying democracy entirely.

You joke but that's why they want to fuck up the military. PMCs lobby too and they're willing to do everything in a war from flying the planes to being grunts on the line.

It's always about turning public money into private profit.

Well I hope you're right. After reading your comment I went to check sources for this story on Ground News. The original source sense to be a paywalled article in The Times which I can't read. There are many other sources but they're not what you'd call top tier, and they may all be feeding off each other (see screenshot below). So yes, there seems to be hope that this is false.

Oh well newsweek says that the biggest pack of liars the world has ever seen says they won't do it. Nothing to worry about folks!

Trump's transition team denied that any decisions on the issue had been made. Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Newsweek that the unnamed sources "are speculating and have no idea what they are actually talking about."

"No decisions on this issue have been made. No policy should ever be deemed official unless it comes directly from President Trump or his authorized spokespeople," she said.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug. For shame.

Is it confirmation bias when I know Trump and his team are gigantic liars so I'm not quite going to rule out this very-on-brand policy that they are pre-denying until he's in office and it doesn't happen?

MTG believes they are going to do it according to the same article, but I acknowledge she's got the brainpower of a squirrel, so I'm not putting much stock in that.

He's already completed the first step, by making them seem inhuman and criminal

Which is ironic, because he's the one who boasted about perving on kids

I assume that's the plan with RFK's "wellness camps". Define gender dysphoria as a qualifying mental illness, and send transgender folks there to replace migrant workers who have been deported.

Transgender people are significantly more likely to serve in the US military than the general US population.[178][179] According to 2014 estimates from the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy, despite the ban on military service, about 21.4% of the total transgender population in the US is estimated to have served in the military. In May 2014, an estimated 15,500 transgender individuals served on active duty or in the Guard or Reserve forces.[22] Wikipedia

So it’s a real number he just thinks military=army like the fake loser he is.

Honestly, it was a hellscape before, we just shifted down a level deeper.

Elsewhere somebody said Medical, don't have a source myself.

He won't because he doesn't care.

Indeed, I'm surprised he doesn't do it first to show the "moderate republicans" that he's on their side.

The happiest meal

I have a feeling most of the benefits will be going out the door behind them shortly thereafter.

Elon and Ramaswamy have already identified the VA as a target for cost cutting.

Not something anyone can stop if he chooses to go through with it. He is the commander of the armed forces. He can make sweeping policies like this that fuck up everything.

He's already working on purging military leadership so only Trump loyalists are left. If he orders a purge of trans people it will happen. Everyone saying "he can't really do this" is still in living in hopeful dreams. Reality is that Trump will be in charge and surrounded by fanatical loyalists running all branches of government and the military. The dangers for his chosen scapegoats are real.

Ooor, we create a well regulated militia with 15,000 new soldiers!

Only if the base assumption is that they're all gay, and they only get kicked out if they tell us they're straight, otherwise we aren't asking.

It'll happen. Three minutes later, they'll discover what a bad idea it is to kick people out of the army in the middle of a recruiting shortage. Nothing will be learned and they'll skip along to the next bad idea.

Why do you think it won't happen?

He did it during his first administration. I was planning on joining the Navy and becoming a doctor at the time.
