Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
You do realise that your membership of this very forum means that Comrade Trump and his like think YOU are a perverted, disfunctual freak, don't you?
Pop along to your nearest next Trump loving. Self appreciation rally and then tell me you were happy to tell those there that you have sex with transsexuals.
I won't hold my breath.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
It appears that government-by-twitter isn't working...
In a rebuke to Trump’s attempt to run the government and military via Twitter, Gen Joseph Dunford, America’s top military officer, said on Thursday that the armed forces would continue to permit transgender people to serve openly until the defense secretary, Jim Mattis, has received Trump’s “direction” to change the policy and figured out how to implement it.
In a memo to all military service chiefs, commanders and enlisted military leaders, Dunford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said “there will be no modifications” to current policy for now, amid questions about Trump’s announcement on Twitter that the US government will not “accept or allow” transgender people to serve in any capacity in the military.
“I know there are questions about yesterday’s announcement,” Dunford began, adding that nothing would change until the president’s direction has been received by Mattis and Mattis has issued “implementation guidance”.
“In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect,” Dunford wrote. “As importantly, given the current fight and the challenges we face, we will all remain focused on accomplishing our assigned missions.”

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
This is far from the only anti-LGBTQ measure the Trump administration is taking. https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/...partment-lgbtq
I wonder what are these people thinking now? http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/sho...trannies+trump Has it dawned on them that they've been had, or are they still in the bubble of denial?

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
Ah yes, right wing shock jock Gavin McInnes dressing up like a caricature to mock Trans women and generalizing them all as mentally unstable. And primarily relying on combat roles to dismiss them from the entirety of the military despite their being numerous non-combat roles like the idiot above. And despite the fact that Trans people have successfully conducted combat deployments. His understanding of the military is a caricature just like his representation of Trans women.
Only thing that is worthwhile he said was this UCLA study he noted regarding the number of trans people in the military. 15.5k seems like a huge over estimate. Politifact discusses that study as well as another which seems more reasonable in its estimate, but still pretty high. Regardless, Gavin doesn't say a single thing reasonable in his trying to justify this ban and you'd have to be a complete idiot to think he did.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
Also in regards to expenditure for transgender health care, this Bloomberg article notes a study that estimates it would cost a resounding 8.4 million dollars or 0.0014 percent of Trump's total defense budget proposal. Yeah, such a financial "burden."
So yeah, Trump is wrong and why don't you come to the table with reputable sources instead of comedian idiots like Gavin McInnes.
