White House announces ban on most transgender service members
See BS ^ | 3/23/18

Posted on 03/23/2018 6:34:56 PM PDT by markomalley

The White House announced Friday that the Trump administration would implement its ban on all transgender service in the military "except under certain limited circumstances." It would also stop all use of Defense Department or Homeland Security resources to fund new sex reassignment surgeries, except to protect the health of individuals who have already begun treatment to reassign his or her sex. The announcement was expected, since it was part of President Trump's executive memo in August 2017 renewing a former transgender military service

According to the White House memo, "transgender persons with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria -- individuals who the policies state may require substantial medical treatment, including medications and surgery -- are disqualified from military service except under certain limited circumstances."

The memo further states "the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, with respect to the U.S. Coast Guard, may exercise their authority to implement any appropriate policies concerning military service by transgender individuals."

Signing the Omnibus spending bill was a smokescreen for the real Trumpalution!

I thought the courts put a stop to this. How is he doing this with the court orders?

“How is he doing this with the court orders?”

Hopefully with a stiff neck and attitude.

This transgender fad — and in the context of popular culture, that’s exactly what it is — makes me long for the days when they warehoused crazies in big institutions like Creedmoor.

The White House announced this to change the subject.
Can’t blame them. It was a very bad day today.

Pretty sure that feminists have no interest in due process.

So, does this little tidbit actually, seriously, make up for that epic disaster earlier today? I would hope people on FR were not so gullible, desperate, or so easily swayed by the latest shiny object.

That not allowing confused people with gender dysphoria in the military, is controversial among liberals, shows how far we have fallen in recent years, in my opinion.

At one time, it was a no brainier, that we would not have people with such conditions in the military.

Now the liberals have created a world and see standards of discussion, such that anything of this nature is seen as discrimination against people involved.

Tonke, it’s very different to deal with transsexual or gender dysphoric people in civilian life, vs. in the military.

An irony is that the liberals who push issues such as mainstream of transsexuals in the military, tend to dislike the military in the first place.

I pray this is true. Military service is not about the individual; it’s about accomplishing the mission. Dump all the social engineering. It is destroying readiness.

Why is this coming from the WH? This is a DOD matter. Looks to me like Twinkle Toes Mattis didn’t want his finger prints on this and pawned it off on POTUS.

Too bad this news can't erase what Trump did today. I fear that Ann Coulter is right and Maxine Waters will celebrate in November. Trump just guaranteed his impeachment. Because the GOP is full of gutless, spineless RINO's, they blew whatever chance they had to keep their majorities. Other than the Freedom caucus, the House is worthless and Trump's support just went up in smoke because his supporters now feel betrayed. I'm sick.....
