This is super upsetting, discriminatory and downright violent. I talk about the ban in this week's edition of GBV Round-Up . Please join us in the conversation that must be had.

They should have the right to serve. They should not have access to elective surgery.

Why is there a picture of someone wearing a khaki shirt with E5 insignia? That is not the proper uniform for any US Navy sailor! Seems to be a made-up photo of people by those who don't understand proper uniform etiquette. This display of a uniform is improper, disgusting.

This is a .000000001% of a problem. This “reporter” has nothing better to do.

realDonaldTrump you'd figure you would be okay with them serving since some people, you, come up with lame excuses to draft dodger 5x. BoneSpurs

The government should not and will not pay for their genitalia mutilations and hormone shots nor their mental health issues. Good riddance!

I'm glad I don't serve in today's military. When I served we had men and then there were women. There were 2 genders not 46.

You people do know how much this disorder costs American taxpayers...right? Belongs in the military like any other elective surgery...NOT!

Every Trans can serve if he/she is willing to do it under his/ her biological gender. I’s fair. You can’t force female soldiers to accept a man in their tent just because he wishes to become or be a woman. Or vice versa. The Trans has to choose - living as a trans or as soldier.

DeplorableJuJuV GOOD

Well, people with juvenile diabetes can’t serve because of the insulin requirement. Trans people require daily hormone therapy. I don’t see why this is a thing.

Why we coddle these twisted individuals is beyond me.

Ban their service

This is all gonna change real soon... Those Trump nominees will be impeached.

same ole US MIL... NO NO NO.

This is shameful!

They should be grandfathered in. That is so unfair to them, and those of us who really care about the GLBTQ community.

NO ADDED VALUE NON PERFORMER trump endorses eliminating HIGH PERFORMER ADDED VALUE service members! trump administration is the epitome of amoral security risk non-performer administration government workers. HYPOCRISY!

burcham_don No equal rights? Sounds about right for USA.

Trump hurts people. That's what makes him happy. The GOP supports that. Health care, hurricanes, families at the border, tariffs, shutdown, taxes, and trade war just to mention a few.

TGs will probably be allowed until their enlistments are up. Things could get unpleasant if the troops find out who they are.

Trump is killing Americas dream! His job is to ensure life, liberty & pursuit of justice! Trump must be BANNED for life, from America & her freedom! USA is not greater by any sense of the word. He has failed us in record time! Another record trump won, congrats! Get the eff out!

The right call! People in the military chip a tooth they don’t fix it because they claim it’s cosmetic so why should they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and months with undeployable people helping someone transition into the opposite sex? A failed social experiment!

Good. One less distraction. One hundred less issues and accommodations.

These people are mentally ill. They are sick and confused and need to be in an asylum LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

When I signed up to serve my(OUR)country I didn’t say or think IS THE PERSON TO MY RIGHT OR LEFT are they transgender or do they have some metal issues..no MY ONLY THOUGHT WAS..this PERSON is here to SERVE THERE COUNTRY 🇺🇸

Good.

What does transgender mean anyway?

And in China they are forced into sterility....

Not sure why the five time draft dodger gets to make any rules regarding the service of American Patriots. He should stick to what he knows...never mind!

PTSD can wreak havoc on those with pre-existing mental health conditions. McDonalds

This is bullshit.

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

We don't need people like that in the military.

Inequality GodLovesAll

The Supreme Court made the decision also.

Double edged sword. It’s great that they want to fight for their country. But you can’t have these people fighting for your country.

💔

And we'll they should

This never would have happened if Hillary had been elected president! If everyone would have voted for her who was against Trump, we would have a different political situation today! Today so many in the Trump administration are being arrested!

This is awful, unfair, and unAmerican.

Caitlyn_Jenner where u at? u voted for this guy, didn’t u?

So sad.

Good. Stop wasting time/money on those lunatics

If you read the legislation, it only prohibits transgender individuals who have psychological issues. Just like every person who applies to join the military. If any person has any type of psychological issue, they are DQ'd. Which is makes sense.

The higher risk of suicide and other mental disorders like schizephrenia should have been enough to disqualify them from military service.

Good...

Is this going to affect veterans who are trans? Will they all be honorably discharged? What about VA disability?

Put them on the frontline first in against isis.

I agree with most of what the Trump administration is doing, but I don’t see the rationale in this.

Pathetic. Don't they have more important things to take care of.

With their high rate of suicide, maybe the military should table this idea until more research is completed

Dont ask dont tell was an excellent policy. Nobody should care about your personal life outside of work. The exception is HR for REASONABLE accomodations and verifying no conflict of interest with other jobs or public hobbies. The conflict of interest is a grey area though.

If it was a Trump family member or a transgender soldier, Trump would reverse that policy immediately. He’s known as CadetBoneSpurs for a reason

Trump and a RightWingSupremeCourt : what else did you all expect?!? Trump didn't have the courage to serve his Country:Chickenhawk!!!

Good! HaHaHaHa

Republicans: We STAND for our vets. Also Republicans: We reject vets we disagree with or don’t believe in. Democrats: Someone wants to risk their lives to protect us and our rights? We don’t care who they are or where they come from. We honor them by exercising those rights.

I'm a Democrat, and this is actually somthing I agree with Trump administration to band this bullshit out of our armed forces period. there is absolutely no place in our armed forces for transgender individuals.....

A coward with fake bone spurs should not be in a position to set any military policy.

Can you see the Transgender? I couldn’t either!!! 😐

All DSM-5 folks now in the military should be discharged. Time to clean up the insanity and Immorality condoned in every branch! To include the Secret Service, CIA and FBI! the next generation of dream killers is here and destroying America!

Does anybody knows if trans ICE and border patrol will be banned too?

Send them home

Supreme Court must of skipped “created equal” part with their participation of allowing it to proceed until their final ruling 🤔

Good ruling by the Supreme Court. It’s good to see the balance move away from the activists holding the court

I'll never understand the rationale behind this. No one should be banned from serving their country based on their gender identity. This is blatant discrimination, and should be illegal.

A good reminder that even though we've made progress it's not over until we impeachtrump and destory the GOP. They continue to damage our nation with their white supremacist agenda.

Isn't just awful? But never fear. AP is right there to chronicle the misery ...

If you're joining to fight for our country, great. But if you're joining to pick a fight with our country, get out.

My father served a total of 17 years in the military. He taught me that it didn't matter your beliefs and color as long as you worked as a team.

Ginny Thomas’ husband, Clarance, was the deciding Supreme Court vote while his wife lobbied Trump to ban heroic soldiers from our military CNN CREWcrew

Two words for tRUMP and his wall lovers ... The only wall you’re gonna get is a Stonewall2 and this shit is why.

Isn't it time to impeach? Sick of it all. PressSec yesterday mentioned 6 more years while on CNN!? The US will need therapists free of charge for us all if that takes place.

Great, our military is not a social experiment. The policy of don't ask don't tell was working fine for the years I was in. We are there to focus on defense not what gender you like to sleep with on your own time.

As they should.....

Less than five years ago , someone could end your entire career with gossip. Now we are pushing so far to the other edge that we are talking transexuals. How about a happy medium. No more open shower rooms , no more separating the sexes.

Trump is homophobic.

In 2019

This is the only issue you care about?

Oh no...now they have to pay for their own operation

It's ironic that a person whose family has not served Any Military in over 150+ years can have the power to interfere with the patriotism & service of the many who Are Willing To Defend America & Fight for Democracy...Trump loves the Military like a toddler loves toy soldiers.

Klinger finally got his section 8.

The Supreme Court Allows Trump To Implement His Transgender Military BanIt was a 5-4 decision. To all the beautiful people within the Transgender community who chose to fight bravely for this country.

This entire administration is disgusting Who's next? Unbelievable This makes zero sense. Studies have shown that trans people have no effect on mission readiness. This is based purely off of prejudice and hate.

Trump lawyers ask Supreme Court to add citizenship question to 2020 censusTrump administration lawyers urged the Supreme Court on Friday to intervene in a dispute over the 2020 census and uphold their plans to ask everyone about their citizenship. I'm a citizen and if it's on there I will not answer it and will encourage others not to either. Maybe they should ask his first and his current wife plus the in-laws. Use them as the examples 🗣 YES , it should be on there! Each State should be given money ( Federal money) for the citizens that live in the country, not for illegals who broke our laws to get here !!
