Trump revokes Biden order allowing transgender troops in bid to rid DEI from military
[FoxNews] President Donald Trump has revoked a Biden-era order allowing transgender people to serve in the military.

After taking the oath of office on Monday, the new president signed an order revoking former President Joe Biden's order known as Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform, which was signed in 2021.

On the campaign trail, Trump promised to reinstate the ban on transgender troops he imposed during his first term. In his inauguration speech, he said he would formally recognize that there are only two genders: male and female.

There are an estimated 9,000 to 14,000 transgender service members.

The new executive order was part of a rapid-fire succession of moves Trump has taken to undo Biden's policies. In a statement, the White House called out diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the federal government that "has corrupted them by replacing hard work, merit, and equality with a divisive and dangerous preferential hierarchy." # id) ?>

3 I never understood the service of people that were on all sorts of psych meds and hormones from their first day of service.

4 If they want to do that after they get out, go for it and even through the VA (gods help you) as they earned that right. But while in? Oh fuck no. War is hard enough on supply and logistics without adding fucking hormones to the list of things they need.

5  and even through the VA

I thought the VA is supposed to take care of necessary health care. This is indulging a dangerous mental health disorder. I support psychiatric treatment for body dysphoria to help them accept the body they were born with, but if they want expensive cosmetic surgery and disruptive hormone treatments to create a poor facsimile of something they cannot become, let them do that on their own dime. The public purse is not infinite.

7 Fielded this question the other day using points from 3, 4, and 5, feeling better about it.

They are doing the same thing the pedos were doing 4 years ago, get into a gaming group, build relationships, and start messaging, sometime building multiple accounts who will then start 'totally agreeing with each other' to start that peer pressure energy.
