President Trump to Medically Discharge ‘Trans’ Soldiers
According to major news outlets, defense sources suggest President-elect Donald Trump will issue an executive order banning “transgender” troops. The order is expected shortly after Trump is sworn into office January.
Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt tempered expectations, telling Newsweek, “No decisions on this issue have been made. No policy should ever be deemed official unless it comes directly from President Trump or his authorized spokespeople.”
During his first administration, the 45th president enacted a similar policy, but allowed other sexually confused military personnel to remain in their positions. Sources suggest this latest order will be wider reaching, impacting upwards of 15,000 individuals.
President Biden previously reversed the first Trump ban just days after taking office in 2021. During his latest campaign for president, Donald Trump made clear his intentions on the issue, lamenting the evolving wokeness of our armed forces:
“I will ban the Department of Veterans Affairs from wasting a single cent to fund transgender surgeries or sex change procedures,” President-elect Trump said. “Those precious taxpayer dollars should be going to care for our veterans in need, not to fund radical gender experiments for the communist Left.”
He added, saying, “I’ll also restore the Trump ban on transgender in the military.”
In addition to covering the cost of sexual mutilation surgeries, our tax dollars are being spent to cover the travel costs of those who are transported out of state for an abortion.
Other examples of wokeness in the United States military include forcing recruits to watch videos on “proper pronoun usage” and the need for using “inclusive language” in day-to-day operations. CRT books have been added to the Navy Professional Reading Program, including, How to Be Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. The author suggests, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination” and “capitalism is essentially racist.”
American citizens have also funded military trips to annual “pride” events. The Navy even enlisted the help of Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, who is also a drag queen, to serve as a “Navy Digital Ambassador.”
Critics of the ban suggest it will undermine military readiness and harm recruitment – claims they make with a straight face. Those who oppose President Trump’s plans are quick to point out that a mass exodus will harm an already depleted and struggling military. As of last year, the Marine Corps were the only branch that met its recruiting goals.
It never seems to occur to supporters of a woke military that current policies actually keep good people away, putting the military as a whole in jeopardy.
America’s storied military cannot afford to be hobbled by sexually confused individuals who leverage the platform to carry out a disastrous and ill-conceived social experiment.
The Transgender revolution has backfired spectacularly on the Left, but many seem either oblivious or disinterested in reconsidering their devotion to it.
Our men and women in uniform deserve better.
