This Is BS

Trump’s nominee for the Joint Chiefs of Staff supports Trump’s trans ban and his reasons are loaded in knee deep BS.

Joint chiefs nominee: Trump's transgender policy about 'standards'
The Hill

The nominee to be the U.S. military’s top uniformed official on Thursday said that President Trump’s policy banning most transgender people from serving in the military is a matter of "standards.”

“In my view, we’re a standards-based military,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told the Senate Armed Services Committee during his confirmation hearing. “We’re concerned about the deployability and effectiveness of any of the service members.”

Okay first off “military is a matter of ‘standards.’” All the other nations in the NATO allow trans people to serve and their standards are just as tough as our and they have no problems with us.

Second to write off all trans people because we possibly be “sub-standard” is also wrong, it should be based on individual performance.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) asked Milley, who is nominated to be the next Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, whether he would still impose the controversial ban if the president hadn’t already done so.

“If you meet the medical, the behavior health, the conduct standards and the physical standards, etc., then it’s my view that you should be welcomed in and allowed,” Milley replied.
[…]
The administration’s policy took effect in April and bans most transgender people from serving in the military unless they serve as their biological sex. Currently serving transgender service members or anyone who had already signed an enlistment contract was grandfathered in under the Obama administration's 2016 open service policy and can continue to serve openly and receive medical care.

Welcome to Trump’s version of 1984's “Newspeak”

Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.

The nominee said that if we met the military “standard” we can serve… but here is where newspeak comes in… “bans most transgender people from serving in the military unless they serve as their biological sex” so what he is saying that you can join the military if you detransition or in other words trans people can join the military as long as you are not trans.
