The Supreme Court has made clear that discriminating against people based on sex or sexual orientation is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. That has not stopped the Air Force Academy from initiating a new program explicitly closed to cisgender men. Horrible as that is, it pales compared to some of the other things Biden has been doing that will destroy Americas military readiness.
The Air Force Academy notified its cadets (i.e., students) that it is offering a new fellowship programthe Brooke Owens Fellowshipfor gender minorities only, with straight men explicitly excluded:
If you are a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, non-binary, agender, bigender, two-spirit, demi gender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or another form of gender minority, this program is for you. If you are a cisgender man, this program isnt for you
but we encourage you to check out our spin- off programs, the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship and the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program!
The Brooke Owens fellowship was established to encourage more women to enter the aerospace field. That kind of discrimination has long been accepted, although it shouldnt be. The feeling was that it was still a necessary form of affirmative action for women. The programs having morphed from women to myriad imaginary genders, though, blows apart any pretense that this is a women-only program. Its now discriminating against both women and men.

One of the problems is that todays Democrat-run military is a huge social justice experiment that is hostile to the type of people who have long been the backbone of the American military: Patriotic, conservative men. Add in decades of lies and Americas failure to make itself a nation worth defending, and youve got recruiting problems:
