Eliminating spending on “Transgenderism” was one of the justifications given by OMB for its spending/grants/loan disbursement freeze last night.
 
The Trump admin press release on transgender military members is just shameful:

“Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.”

It’s not enough to simply refuse to provide gender-affirming care. No, we have to call every transgender person a lying, dishonorable sack of shit too. Don’t hold your breath waiting for @HeelYeah2012 and other self-proclaimed “moderates” who claimed they just wanted trans people left alone as long as they stay out of women’s sports to criticize this.

Whoever wrote that about people who have served their nation is absolutley fucking gross. It's so inexcusable on any level.

I never said it’s all about women’s sports for me. For me the core issue with the transgender stuff is expecting the general public to play along with it.

I don’t care what gender people identify as, but don’t force society play along.

By “play along” do you mean using she/her when referring to a transfemale? Is that something you object to?

So you agree with Trump that every single transgender person is a liar who lacks integrity and humility? And if in the military, should be summarily expelled?

Worrying about the pronouns, letting them play sports against whichever gender they choose, letting them use whichever bathroom they choose, etc. All of these things require society to play along with the charade and quickly move the conversation way beyond “hey just let these people live their inner truth!”

No, I wouldn’t say that every transgender person is a liar who lacks integrity and humility. I do not think the US military should be required to have transgender people defending our country if they don’t want to. Speaking generally, I do think transgender individuals would likely be lower performing soldiers than cisgender people who don’t suffer from gender dysphoria. But there’s also an expected difference in generic military performance when comparing cisgender males to cisgender females. Plenty of cisgender females kick ass in the military obviously. There are exceptions to every rule. The boxer who caused all the controversy in the Olympics could probably kick some ass in a military/combat setting, clearly.

Do you know any transgender people?

If so, when you speak with them do you use their preferred pronouns?

The boxer isn’t transgender. It was your side trying to change her gender. She was assigned female at birth.

I do not know any, other than a sibling of one of my wife’s friends that I have only met once.

If I did, I would likely use their preferred pronouns out of respect to them.

Of all the things I listed - pronouns, sports, bathrooms - pronouns is the one that is the easiest to play along with even if it’s a little silly because there is really no harm or danger to it.

With all of this, I’m way more worried about what kind of silly world my daughters will be growing up in than I am about me needing to refer to someone by whatever pronoun they decide they want to go by at the time.

Cause when I think Pete Hegseth, humility and selflessness come to mind.
 
Well, so much for the argument that Trump wasn't really serious about enacting Project 2025 or that they wouldn't try to carry out their most drastic proposals. We're only a little over a week in and apparently it's full steam ahead on the ram everything through come hell or high water train. Can't wait to see what they decide to do with Social Security and Medicare, because no matter how much they deny it you know they're planning on doing something to cut it or alter it to their benefit in some way.
