There seems to be conflicting information on whether this is actually real. I wouldn’t put it past him to do this, but I’d recommend waiting to see more details (if any come out).
Regardless of how many years they have served, trans troops would be given a special medical discharge that declares them unfit, insiders told The Times.
Not only is this incredibly hateful, but also incredibly stupid (see below), but it’s also incredibly hilarious that the only apparent way for him to do so is to issue medical discharges - which means they’re eligible for military benefits such as GI Bill, the VA, and disability compensation. I hope someone fights this both to rule it unconstitional, but also to see if they can disability payments while still having this “medical issue”.
One source told the newspaper: ‘These people will be forced out at a time when the military can’t recruit enough people.
Jesus christ, what about hateful idiot.
Isn’t making America weaker the point?
Daddy Putin definitely approved this one personally.
The US was kicking gay and trans people out of the military that were translators. Languages that they were hurting to fill. They are literally hurting themselves, but I know they don’t care.
If you believe what Musk is saying, some of the things his “2 trillion savings” pretty much has to cut is VA, Disability benefits and Unemployment. Most of the rest of the budget is stuff that has forever been used to maintain false GOP support in poorer states.
Of course, the lion’s share of that number is that his PAC Actually Said he would stop debt payments, which would immediately lead to a world catastrophe, also would need all of Congress and Senate to roll over and play dead so that number is hopefully complete bunk.
Jesus christ, what about hateful idiot.
He’s doing exactly what Putin asked.
The dumb thing is that currently you can get gender affirming surgery in the military even if you’re trans. The VA only offers hormones and therapy to trans people.
