Military to screen for gender dysphoria amid transgender ban, per memo

The Defense Department will begin screening troops for gender dysphoria during their routine physicals in an effort to boot transgender service members from the armed forces.

In a memo published Thursday, the Pentagon’s acting head of personnel and readiness tasked unit commanders to help implement the policy “immediately.”

“Commanders who are aware of service members in their units with gender dysphoria, a history of gender dysphoria or symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria will direct individualized medical record reviews of such service members to confirm compliance with medical standards,” the memo states.

Whoa! They are hunting not only those of us who have transitioned but also symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria... Boy what a witch hunt that will turn into. Will they root-out feminine men or butch women... what about gays and lesbian?

They are bribing us to do the "Right think"

Active duty service members now have until June 6 to voluntarily identify, and reserve members have until July 7. If they do not do so by then, the official said, they will receive a lower severance package and face involuntary removal.

NPR Heard on All Things Considered

Col. Bree Fram, an openly transgender member of the U.S. Space Force, is also one of the highest-ranking transgender service members in the armed forces.

All Things Considered host Ailsa Chang spoke with Fram about how this moment affects her life and job.

Fram told NPR she was speaking in a personal capacity and her views "are not necessarily reflective of the Department of Defense."

[...]

Bree Fram: Well, I was devastated and heartbroken by the decision because it doesn't take into account the real harm that is occurring right now, not just to individual transgender service members, but also to this nation and to our national defense now and far into the future. Because lives are being upended and even if the court cases continue to play out, we are going to lose thousands of highly trained, highly capable skilled individuals that are serving their nation and doing everything that is being asked of them right now here at home and deployed all around the world.

Chang: What about you, Col. Fram? The Trump administration has given active duty trans service members until early next month, right, to leave voluntarily? Have you reached a personal decision about what you will do? What can you tell us?

Fram: One thing I want to make clear is this is not a choice. No one is going to voluntarily choose to leave. We have been told that we are not wanted. And if this policy was not here, no one would be saying, "I'm out." But right now, we're in the space where people have to make the best decision for them and for their families. And that includes me.

All the NATO countries have trans servicemembers and have no problems with military readiness... it just more of Trump lies, trans troops severed in combat for almost tens years and their performance has excelled! 

The Denver Gazette from  writes...

 Fort Carson Sgt. Mason Benavides is leaving an army that no longer wants him.

He is one of about 1,000 military service members voluntarily leaving, the Department of Defense announced Thursday after a Supreme Court order that said the Trump administration’s ban on transgender soldiers could be enforced.

[...]

After nearly six years in the Army , Benavides found it insulting. He’s previously received positive feedback from his leadership team, who have told him he is a valuable asset as a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist.

“It said I was unfit to serve with integrity,” he said. Later that day, he hit a new personal record lifting weights because he was so mad

[...]

After the Supreme Court issued its decision, the plaintiffs in the case called it discriminatory.

“We remain steadfast in our belief that this ban violates constitutional guarantees of equal protection and will ultimately be struck down,” Lambda Legal and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation said in a statement.

It is one big lie coming out of the White House that we are not combat ready, that we hold back the performance of the military which is one big lie! You can see the lie by looking at their performance of trans soldiers for the last nine years and also by looking at our performance in the NATO militaries.

Axios writes

What they're saying: Alaina Kupec, a former Naval intelligence officer, told Axios she thinks "this is a path toward don't ask, don't tell again — and it starts with the transgender community."

"If we use the logic of the president and the secretary of defense, they can make a decision on who is best to serve based on what they think, not what's based on fact," she said.

I believe that eventually women will be removed from combat roles, the removal of all LGBTQ+ servicemembers. The promotion of Christian Nationalist will lead to the alignment of a pro-Christian military. 

Here is my concern, with the expulsion of us, the possible targeting of gays and lesbians in the military, and with discharge of high level officers and the replacing them with Christian Nationalist that they are making the military loyal to Trump and not the Constitution.
