Donald Trump has banned transgendered people from military service because they are mentally ill and unfit for duty.
The executive order affects around 15,000 trans people currently serving in the armed forces.
It's not all bad though. Woke companies like Starbucks and Lush now have plenty of prospective employees to choose from. I digress.
The New York Post has reported a newly produced government document says that …
“Unit cohesion requires high levels of integrity and stability among service members,” There can be no accommodation for anything less than resilience, strength, and the ability to withstand extraordinary physical demands.
“Individuals who are unable to meet these requirements are unable to serve in the military. This has been the case for decades.”
It goes on to say that transgendered people require a persistent regimen of drugs and hormones that enable them to "transition", and this has a severely debilitating impact on their psychological wellness.
The document further reads …
“It can take a minimum of 12 months for an individual to complete treatments after transition surgery, which often involves the use of heavy narcotics.
During this period, they are not physically capable of meeting military readiness requirements and require ongoing medical care.
This is not conducive for deployment or other readiness requirements.”
Sounds good in theory. But am I the only one who worries that this decision will undermine the military's readiness to perform drag shows at base elementary schools?
Here’s the thing …
If you’ve got a cavity, you can’t deploy.
If you’ve got wisdom teeth, you can’t deploy.
And, for a time, if you had sleep apnea, you couldn’t deploy.
In other words, any condition that requires medical care or upkeep, makes you non deployable.
Gender benders are a medical liability due to their need for constant medication, and mental health appointments.
Trump is saying that a trans force is a mentally inept, and non-deployable force.
Reacting to the news, an elated Corporal Klinger told journalists …
“I’m so happy, after all these years, that my mental illness is finally being acknowledged, and that I can come home.”
Trump’s focus is clear: military strength and readiness over woke distractions. This is about keeping America safe.
All medical standards in the Department of Defense will also be updated with the new guidance to "prioritize readiness and lethality."
These are things that are basically impossible when you have trans people ridden with anxiety and who freak out at being misgendered.
Speaking of which, the executive order will ban …
" … the use of invented and identification-based pronouns" in the military.
The only trans pronouns Trump will recognise are bye/bye.
So China won't be able to beat American troops by misgendering them over a loudspeaker.
This isn’t to denigrate trans people. It’s simply a recognition that the medically fragile shouldn't be in the military.
The defence forces are a defence force, not a social experiment.
Or, in the words of the late great Rush Limbaugh, the military exists "to kill people and to break things".
It’s not a petri dish for radical science experiments.
At last some commonsense! Who wants to be defended by someone so delicate and precious that they get distracted and offended by trying to ensure they’re addressed by their chosen pronouns?! It’s laughable and ludicrous! That some people hate their bodies so much they would do anything to change them is one thing but to expect everyone else to confirm and affirm their deluded choice is quite another. Men wearing skirts and makeup and under the influence of serious drugs and carrying their dosette box into battle does not give me confidence! Our military is seriously weakened by these mentally ill people and it is a laughing stock to our enemies. Good on the Don! I’m starting to feel like I just might be beginning to belong to a rational world. Hopefully. Maybe.
This decision is also needed in the Aust military.
It raises the question why Aust taxpayers need to pay for our mentally ill to transition rather than treating the illness.
