House Dems offer bill to keep transgender troops in the ranks

House Democrats plan to introduce legislation rolling back Defense Department efforts to force transgender troops out of the ranks, a move that could force a public vote by Republican lawmakers on the issue in coming weeks.

The legislation — sponsored by House Armed Services Committee ranking member Adam Smith, D-Wash., and backed by several other prominent panel Democrats — would bar the defense secretary from separating any member of the armed forces “on the basis of gender identity, including a diagnosis or potential diagnosis of gender dysphoria.”


It would also prohibit the Defense Department from denying “medically necessary health care coverage” to those service members.

The move comes one week after Pentagon leaders announced plans to begin screening troops for gender dysphoria during certain medical visits, in an effort to boot transgender service members from the armed forces.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

My first night in bootcamp, in 1972, all the recruits were gathered in some big room while some 1st class PO read an exciting novelette about what we would or wouldn't do, could or couldn't, what orders we were to obey, etc., when some long-haired guy asked the PO if he could ask a question.  Like the kindness the first night afforded, the PO said yes.  The guy then questioned whether we could be made to do something because we were protected by the Constitution.  The PO, in one of those statements of wisdom that last a lifetime, said:    'Son, you are in the United States Military now.  You are no longer protected by the Constitution; you are protected by The Uniform Code of Military Justice - - - and there is no justice."  He didn't say he had to get a ruling from a federal judge before he answered.  But that was before federal judges started destroying the Constitution to change from a Constitutional Republic to a judiciarchy. :judge:

A battalion of Cher impersonators in ass-less chaps would certainly distract and freeze the enemy with momentary disbelief and confusion.

Military training prepares you for many things on the battlefield, but not for being overrun by Cher impersonators in ass-less chaps.

Deny them any transgender care. Then create their own battalion (or whatever it's called).

If they want to stay after that, okey dokey.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Yeah, it would especially cause confusion while a Muslim adversary looked for a tall building to throw them off of.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Of course the Degenerate Party would launch such bills.  When will they be considered criminals for foisting this sick degenerate bullsh*t upon the American people and particularly our children.   Like Biden, they are all degenerates.
