Trans Ban In the Armed Forces

The army is a place for a united fighting force without social issues.

Trans Ban In the Armed Forces
Military

It is crazy the influence POTUS has over the United States. He threw out one tweet this week on a trans ban on the military and now we have liberals supporting the military, it is practically unheard of. Look, at first I will admit I was skeptical and unsure why the President was doing this. I might be a little freaked out by transgenders, (because I don't really understand it at all), but I didn't know the logical reasoning as to why they would no longer be able to fight along side a man and a woman. Trump's line of reasoning is no where near discriminatory, it is logical rather than emotional, (how a liberal functions), like everything else he does for our country.

In the military, if you are not up to their standards you are unable to join the armed forces. Such problems for disqualification include colorblindness, being flat footed, and mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. Mental illnesses are taken the most seriously in the military and for good reason because they can put others at risk. Transgenders have what is diagnosed as "gender dysphoria," another mental illness. Naturally that would make them unable to serve in the armed forces, logically. That is problem number one. Being in the military requires laser focus, and being transgender becomes a road block in that line of vision.

Now this becomes an even bigger problem when transgender people have all their surgeries paid for via our tax dollars. Sorry that I would rather have my portion of money going towards surgeries in the armed forces going to some soldier that has had an arm blown off, rather than a new set of bolt-ons. Call me crazy, but I don't think that is helping the military what-so-ever, it is a social issue. Although liberals will say that roughly less than a percent of our tax dollars actually go towards such procedures, this is a cherry picked stat that doesn't consider the fact that in a 10 year period of time the cost of gender surgeries would rack up a 3-4 billion dollar expense. Also, these surgeries don't get rid of gender dysphoria or the depression and lack of fitting in all trans people deal with. That is an issue all on its own.

Liberals also argue that the military spends more on Viagra than on trans surgeries. Well, I don't think the military should be spending our tax dollars on any of that nonsense. The armed forces are not the place for a social experiment nor is it a place to treat erectile dysfunction. That is all I have to say on that little fact.

Case in point, I stand behind the President once again because he did what is best for the country and the armed forces. However, as I am writing this there is another march being posted on Facebook against this ban, whatever, peacefully assemble liberals. Peacefully.

God bless.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
