BREAKING: Trump Says He Will Not Allow Transgender People To Serve In The Military

It will take a miracle of God to now enforce this policy in a PRO GAY/TRANSGENDER military, and probably would be judged "discriminatory." But it will lose him Caitlyn Jenner support. MAKE AMERICA STRAIGHT AGAIN!
Via NY Post:
President Trump tweeted on Wednesday that “transgender individuals” should not be allowed to serve in “any capacity” in the US military.
“After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow …,” he wrote on Twitter.

Trump Says Transgender People Will Not Be Allowed in the Military

WASHINGTON — President Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will no longer “accept or allow” transgender people in the United States military, saying American forces “must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory” and could not afford to accommodate them.

Mr. Trump made the surprise declaration in a series of posts on Twitter, saying he had come to the decision after talking to generals and military experts, whom he did not name.

In 2016, fomer Defense Secretary Ash Carter ended the historical ban on transgender people serving in the military, and since then the individuals have been serving openly within the different brances.

Carter cited a study by the RAND Corporation think tank saying there were about 2,500 transgender active-duty service members and 1,500 reserve transgender service members.

Last month, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis approved a six-month delay in allowing transgender recruits to join the U.S. armed forces.

Earliar this week, the USS Gerald R. Ford became the first U.S. carrier to be equiped with "gender neutral" bathrooms, with all urinals being removed and replaced with sit down toilets.

"This is designed to give the ship flexibility, because there aren't any berthing areas that are dedicated to one sex or the other," Operations Specialist 1st Class Kaylea Motsenbocker told Navy Times. "So if this space was needed for males, we could shift the females to other berthing areas and make this all male without any modification being necessary."

Upon christening the warship, President Donald Trump said the $12.9 billion aircraft carrier will send a "100,000-ton message to the world" about America's military might when it is ultimately deployed.

Reaction from Republican lawmakers and conservative groups:

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

"The president's tweet this morning regarding transgender Americans in the military is yet another example of why major policy announcements should not be made via Twitter.

The statement was unclear. The Department of Defense has already decided to allow currently-serving transgender individuals to stay in the military, and many are serving honorably today. Any American who meets current medical and readiness standards should be allowed to continue serving. There is no reason to force service members who are able to fight, train, and deploy to leave the military-regardless of their gender identity. We should all be guided by the principle that any American who wants to serve our country and is able to meet the standards should have the opportunity to do so-and should be treated as the patriots they are."

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

"The commander in chief has a lot of latitude here. I don't know what the policy proposal is. I don't know why he decided what he did. But I think the right thing to do here is to have a hearing so we can hear from both sides."

Celebrities Melt Down over Trump’s Transgender Military Policy: ‘You Just Pissed Off the Wrong Community’

Hollywood stars took to social media Wednesday to express outrage over President Donald Trump’s announcement that transgender people will not be allowed to serve in the U.S. military, reversing former President Obama’s decision last year allowing them to do so.

The news spurred some stars to viciously attack the president, with some calling Trump a cruel bigot.

Star Trek actor and gay activist George Takei sent what appeared to be a threat to Trump, warning that he “just pissed off the wrong community” and said the president “will regret” this action.

Takei also tweeted: “History shall record that you are not only the stupidest, most incompetent president ever, but also the cruelest and pettiest. #Shame.” The actor also issued a call to action: https://twitter.com/hashtag/TransRightsAreHumanRights?src=hash

Director Paul Feig called Trump’s decision “disgraceful,” while noted Trump-basher and actor Rob Reiner called the president a “hateful human being.”

Below is a roundup of the rage Hollywood stars sent toward President Trump in the wake of his announcement.

Trump: Transgenders barred from military service 'in any capacity'

Already, there are as many as 250 service members in the process of transitioning to their preferred genders or who have been approved to formally change gender within the Pentagon’s personnel system, according to several defense officials.

The Pentagon has refused to release any data on the number of transgender troops currently serving. A Rand Corp. study estimated that there are between 2,500 and 7,000 transgender service members on active duty and an additional 1,500 to 4,000 in the reserves.

Transgender service members have been able to serve openly in the military since last year, when former Defense Secretary Ash Carter ended the ban. Since Oct. 1, transgender troops have been able to receive medical care and start formally changing their gender identifications in the Pentagon’s personnel system.

But to develop policies to allow people already identifying as transgender to newly join the military, if they meet physical, medical and other standards, and have been stable in their identified genders for 18 months. Military chiefs recently announced a delay on allowing transgender people from enlisting.

Key concerns include whether currently enlisted troops have had medical or other issues that cause delays or problems with their ability to deploy or meet physical or other standards for their jobs. Military leaders also want to review how transgender troops are treated, if they’re discriminated against or if they have had disciplinary problems, the officials said. They were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.

Trump's tweets on military transgender ban send Pentagon aides scrambling

President Trump's tweets banning transgender people from serving in the military set off a mad scramble at the Pentagon Wednesday morning, as officials raced to sort out the details after the surprise announcement.

It appeared initially that no one in the building had any idea that the president was unilaterally ending an Obama-era policy, which had allowed transgender troops to serve openly since last year and called for a plan to recruit transgender individuals to serve.

Skittish public affairs officers were afraid to talk to reporters, who pressed for details. Did Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who is on vacation, know about the president's decision before it was announced? Did this mean thousands of transgender troops who were told they could serve openly would now be kicked out?

Asked about rumors that the Pentagon was blindsided about the announcement, one public affairs official told the Washington Examiner, "I think the reports are pretty accurate that no one knew. I certainly had no idea."

By midday, Pentagon officials were quietly saying nothing would change until they received official guidance from the White House.

An end to 'transgender silliness' at the Pentagon

A national defense analyst is praising President Trump's decision to ban transgendered individuals from serving "in any capacity" in the armed forces – and a constitutional attorney predicts any legal action against it would have a difficult case to prove.

Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis (USA-Ret.) is a senior fellow for national security at the Family Research Council. He says it's about time common sense comes to the Pentagon and stops traveling a path "paved [with] political correctness."

"We had under the Obama administration this silliness with regard to transgenders, which was going to [potentially] cost us billions of dollars ... per year with no return on our investment," he states. "So it is time to get a fresh look at everything that the Obama silliness has brought the Pentagon."

The Pentagon advisor argues that it's going to be difficult for left-wing court challenges.

"There's no law in question here," Maginnis tells OneNewsNow. "Under Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, the rules and regulations regarding men and women serving in the armed forces is a requirement of the Congress to make those decisions."

And that means, according to Maginnis, that until Congress enacts a law that disagrees with the policy, the exclusion will continue.

‘OBAMA POLICY’ CHANGE WH says ‘cohesion’ concerns fueled trans ban

‘OBAMA POLICY’ CHANGE WH says ‘cohesion’ concerns fueled trans ban

In her first, solo on-camera press briefing since she replaced Sean Spicer, Sanders faced a battery of questions on the president’s abrupt Twitter announcement earlier Wednesday morning. She said the decision was based on “consultation” with the president’s national security team and the Pentagon.

“This decision was made after extensive discussions with the national security team and it was in the military’s best interest to end this Obama policy,” Sanders said. “... This is a very expensive and disruptive policy and based on consultation with his national security team, it erodes military readiness and unit cohesion, and he made the decision based on that.”

When pressed repeatedly Wednesday on what would happen to transgender service members currently serving in the military, Sanders could not say. She said “implementation of the policy” would be something the White House and Department of Defense would “work together to lawfully determine.”

“The decision is based on a military decision—not meant to be anything more than that—obviously this is a very difficult decision. It’s not a simple one, but the president feels it’s the best one for the military,” Sanders said.

Some lawmakers including Reps. Steve King, R-Iowa, and Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., backed the president's decision, as did groups like the Family Research Council. But the move drew criticism from past secretaries of defense and lawmakers from both parties.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., slammed the announcement and said anyone fit to serve in the military should be allowed to do so.

Agree 100%.
The LBGT people are completely unfit to serve in the military (or much of anywhere else).

Transgender Navy SEAL slams Trump for banning servicemembers: 'Let's meet face to face and you tell me I'm not worthy'

A transgender former Navy SEAL has 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.

Beck, who became a voice for transgender servicemembers to several media outlets Wednesday, added that she does not approve of the flippant way that Trump announced his decision on social media.

"There are a hundred different ways to make an announcement that are better than a tweet. It blindsided millions of people. It's disrespectful," she told CNN.
