President Trump as we all do want’s to protect all Americans. that includes LGBT’s.
the president announced the politically correct order of president Obama would be changed as follows: “After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”
A RAND Corporation study estimated the number of transgender individuals currently serving in the active component of the U.S. military at between 1,320 and 6,630 out of a total of about 1.3 million service members. The study estimates between 30 and 140 new hormone treatments could be initiated a year and 25 to 130 gender transition-related surgeries could be utilized a year among active component service members. Additional health care costs could range between $2.4 million and $8.4 million, representing an approximate 0.13-percent increase.
RAND claimed a service member’s gender is considered to have shifted in terms of housing, uniforms, identification cards, showers and restrooms when a service member publicly discloses an intention to live as the target gender and receives a diagnosis of gender incongruence.
The Daily Signal reported: “The most helpful therapies for gender dysphoria focus not on achieving the impossible—changing bodies to conform to thoughts and feelings—but on helping people accept and even embrace the truth about their bodies and reality.
“… 41 percent of people who identify as transgender will attempt suicide at some point in their lives, compared to 4.6 percent of the general population”. That’s sad. It’s not good. “And people who have had transition surgery are 19 times more likely than average to die by suicide.
“People who identify as transgender suffer a host of mental health and social problems—including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse—at higher rates than the general population. Biology isn’t bigotry, and we need a sober and honest assessment of the human costs of getting human nature wrong.”
“Obama’s policy change ignored the reality that placing individuals who might be at increased risk for suicide or other psychological injury in the most stressful situation imaginable—the battlefield—is reckless.
“The privacy of ALL 1.3 million service members must be respected. Given the nature of military living quarters, it is unclear where soldiers who identify as transgender could be safely housed.
The medical judgment, conscience rights, and religious liberty of military doctors, chaplains, commanding officers, and fellow service members be respected. Unless and until military leaders are able to find a way to respect all of these provisions, there will remain good reasons why the military will be unable to fully accommodate people who are gender dysporic and/or who identify as transgender.
Drudge reported: “A transgender man was a former Navy SEAL and he’s spoken out against President Trump’s ban on transgender military members, saying he is preventing soldiers from doing their service.
“Let’s meet face to face and you tell me I’m not worthy,” Kristin Beck, a retired SEAL Team 6 member who has fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, told Business Insider. That menacing threat and the irrational and confrontational nature of Beck proves the disruption president Trump want’s to avoid.
CNN’s liberal anti-Trump bias was on full display as Wolf Blitzer relentlessly attacked Republican Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler over her support of President Trump’s ban on transgender individuals within the military. Blitzer grilled Hartzler on virtually every single argument she made ranging from cost effectiveness to the morality of the decision. It was a stark contrast to the interview given to Democratic Congressman Scott Peters afterwards. Blitzer gave Peters ample time to bash supporters of the ban while offering no pushback whatsoever to any of the talking points offered.
Hartzler offered measured arguments in defense of the ban and explained how her concerns centered around the costs and requirements necessary to support the needs of transgendered persons within the armed forces. Naturally, this was an insufficient reason in the eyes of Blitzer and he rudely questioned where the Congresswoman had managed to dig up such information.
