The American military, which gets 53% of the federal budget left over after it’s done paying for mandatory entitlement programs, exists for one reason and one reason only: To defend America from foreign enemies. If it can’t do that, we may as well get rid of it. The Pentagon, however, doesn’t seem interested in buffing up its only (not its primary, its only) responsibility. Instead, the hard left careerists who work there see it as a vehicle for social justice experiments. In service to this fetish, the military is once again going all-in on transgenderism.
If you’re like me, you believe that people who call themselves “transgender,” have the misfortune to suffer from a mental illness called body dysphoria; that is, their brains are no longer aligned with their bodies. The best-known example of this is anorexia, which sees perfectly normal people believe that they are morbidly obese, a belief so powerful that they will starve themselves to death............
Regardless transgenderism’s real cause (mental illness or easily treatable hormonal imbalances), modern American leftism has opted for a different approach: It pretends that people can magically change gender (meaning that a person of one sex can embrace cheap, 1950’s era stereotypes of the opposite sex). Then, “to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative,” leftists encourage these poor deluded souls to have horribly mutilating surgery and ingest dangerous chemicals that leave them sterile and expose them to unnecessary lifetime risks of cancer and heart disease. (And remember, please, there’s no science behind any of this.)
And at the end of the day, it’s all for nothing. Transgender people, whose deep unhappiness is manifested in their desire to escape their bodies, are deeply depressed. The commonly used statistic is that they have a 40% chance of attempting suicide..........To Read More....

prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity, including a
person’s self-identification as transgender; allow people to serve in
the military in their self-identified gender, as long as certain
standards are met; and allow service members to access gender transition
medical procedures, which would be funded by the department, according
to press secretary John Kirby at a briefing on Wednesday.
Stephanie Miller, the DOD’s military accession policy director, said that depending on previous studies, the number of service members who self-identify as transgender could range from 1,000 to 8,000, which includes those who may not seek a partial or full medical transition.
She said that there are about 2,200 service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria and are seeking gender transition medical procedures. The Pentagon would fund and facilitate the procedures for each individual on a case-by-case basis...........
