    They just want trans people to die, not to die for their country.

    When there are fewer LGBT people in the military, then there will also be less resistance from within when the military is used to oppress that very same group. I suspect that might be a reason for the ban. Also I guess there’d be less chance for a coup, but I don’t know how likely that is to begin with.

      The military is all about indoctrination which is the polite word for “brainwashing”. Our trans friends in the armed forces are just as unlikely to stop stomping on necks as anyone else.

      Nah, this is just general hate toward the Ts (expect the Ls, Bs, Gs, Qs, and +s to follow).

      Fuck it.

      Let’s ban all the liberals and queers and women and fems and educated, too. Then let’s get a draft going and set no minimum or maximum age. Let’s start making all our own equipment and you know let’s just not give them anything. Then let’s get into a war with China and not use drones or ai or tanks. Ohh noooooo, all the shitty people diiieedd. Sorry China, we take it back. Yeah, all those rules we changed, it didn’t work out. Oh well. NO MAGATS. VOTING TIME.

    “An unprecedented degree of animus towards transgender people animates and permeates the ban: it is based on the shocking proposition that transgender people do not exist,” the lawyers wrote.

    Someone needs to hire new lawyers cause that’s not even being discussed.

        They are a transphobe. Even tagged then as such the previous time they tried to pass off their hate as “just stuff everyone knows is true”.

        I wouldn’t bother.

        Edited to add: Yeah, see reply, they just keep going. “If being transphobic makes me a transphobe then words have lost meaning” is… Well, something.

        Tag accuracy confirmed!

          Acknowledging that males and females are different makes someone transphobic in your mind, does it?

            There could, in fact, not be the category of trans if there was no gender binary. Without the moon, no cis- and translunar orbits. A boundary has to exist before it is possible to cross it or, indeed, stay within it.

            That boundary is a quite bit fuzzy because gender is a bimodal distribution: Two bell curves which meet in the middle. But it clearly is there, those two humps clearly exist, they may apply to no individual but they apply, statistically, to the population as a whole, and as we’re individuals and not statistics where shit gets stupid is when people are saying “you’re on that side of the graph in aspect X, therefore you must be on the same side in aspect Y”: It’s trying to enforce a strict boundary when things are, well, fuzzy. Multi-dimensional, at the very least. There’s women with beards and men who can give birth. There always have been, and if that scares you then you should learn to live and let live.

              “Trans” means people who are one sex who think they are the other, or think they are a “gender” different to what their sex determined gender is. That’s fine, they can identify themselves however they want in terms of “gender identity”.

              Gender as it is now used is basically a “feeling”. It’s not scientific. It’s not based on science or biology or anything tangible. It’s literally just feelings. This is why there should not be any laws based on “gender”, but instead all based on sex - when anyone can change their gender at any time, basing anything on gender is completely pointless.

              Sex is not “fuzzy”. There are 2 sexes, male and female. 2 gametes. 2 chromosomes. These “men” who can give birth are females/women who “identify” as the gender of “man”.

              For the bearded women, facial hair doesn’t determine sex.

                That’s not even covering karyotypes, much less phenotypes. Read up on the actual biology before making BS claims like that.

                  Dunno if you deleted your comment or what but I have the notification for it so I’ll reply to this one:

                  XXY karotypes exist, sure - that would be a male with a DSD. All DSDs affect either a male or a female. They are disorders that affect one or both sexes, not different sexes.

                  Phenotypes are whole irrelevant. They’re just observable traits , like height or eye colour. There are no “female sex determining phenotypes”.

                  It all is very complex, but the number of sexes isn’t - male and female are all there is.

                  Also you used a fungus as an example of 20k sexes? This is incorrect. There are “20k” mating types, not sexes.

                  There are 2 sexes, factually. If you can show a third that has ever existed in any creature on earth you would win a Nobel prize.

            It’s meaningless to you because you choose not to give it meaning, it has a very obvious, static meaning to people who live in reality.

                It’s true that some people over-use those terms, but that doesn’t make them untrue accusations every time. Like this time for instance!

                  Sure, but most of the time it does - like this time for instance! Nothing I have said is transphobic. If you think it has been, could you please quote it and show me how it is? I’m always keen to learn.

            It seems like maybe you don’t. Please explain to me how what I said is wrong? If their position is that trans people don’t exist, how can they ban them from the military?

                  It’s not saying “gender dysphoria is not a diagnosis that exists anywhere” it’s saying “believing yourself to be transgender is a substantial enough mental illness and flaw in character so as to preclude military service.”

                  This claims that having gender dysphoria is some sort of deficiency, and not just a non-standard identifier. This invalidates the identity of trans people, and calls into question their legitimacy.

            Yes, this is. This is about making people with gender dysphoria ineligible for military service, the same way people with many other conditions are.

            It has nothing to do with pronouns. It has nothing to do with same sex attraction. It has nothing to do with whatever else you want to pretend it does.
