Summary
Donald Trump plans to ban transgender individuals from military service shortly after his inauguration, reversing President Biden’s 2021 policy and expelling about 15,000 serving trans troops.
Critics, including advocacy groups and military experts, warn this move will exacerbate recruitment and retention challenges, harm unit cohesion, and create skill gaps amid existing shortfalls.
The order aligns with Trump’s broader anti-trans agenda, which includes banning gender-affirming care and restricting trans rights nationwide.
Legal challenges are anticipated as the military faces administrative and operational disruptions.
The ways things are trending he may, quite inadvertently, save their lives in doing so. This is a sad epoch we are living in.
Don’t forget that he is basically a Nazi
He needs to make them seem criminal and inhuman so he can use them as a distraction and scapegoat later, so he can get his fan base to attack them
Probably because the plan is to use the military to deport Trans people after he sates his thirst for deporting POC.
He wants to end birthright citizenship by pushing an ultraconservative interpretation of the 14th amendment through that basically says it only applied to people who were already born when it was ratified, so citizens who were born here can just be rendered stateless and thrown into camps.
Hopefully the discharge is honorable and their service helps them get a good civilian job where they are happy and accepted
We’ll be lucky if they get a dishonorable discharge, because the way the GOP stands now… a firing squad isn’t out of the question.
I am disgusted by the world.
Fuck you Mace, Fuck you Elon, and FUCK YOU everyone who voted for Trump and signing my death warrant.
Elon ESPECIALLY hates trans people because his own trans kid disowned him
I feel like it’s not fair to have a vendetta against all Transpeople for that.
I mean Elon said “The Woke Mind Virus took [her] from me! {She’s] my [daughter] damn it!”
and I’m like “Are you sure it was the Woke Mob? Are you sure it wasn’t… you neglected and abused her, so she hates you?”
