Biden Repeals Trump's Transgender Rule at Pentagon

[Nithavela]

President Obama allowed transgender troops to serve in the military, President Trump reversed that decision, and now President Biden has brought us back full circle. Biden on Monday fulfilled a campaign pledge by once again allowing openly transgender troops to enlist, reports Politico.

There needs to be a list of things such as this and the Mexico City rule that it goes without saying will be reversed or reinstated day/week one as the executive changes hands.

I wonder how many transgender people will apply, knowing full well that there's a higher than 50% chance that they'll be out when the next republican moves into the white house.

When Trump made his ban, did it kick anyone out, or did it just stop new people from enlisting?

Well, it didn't kick anyone out per se. Transgender members could still serve, but only as their biological sex.

With each passing election cycle it would seem that the likelihood of someone who would impose such a ban being elected decreases. The public polling on these things keeps moving against a new ban. (A legislative fix could be enacted in the next 4 years anyway.)

Ah, well, that's a whole different problem, lol.

And the sin just keeps on coming.

That's how it is in a free country. Your idea of sin applies only to you.

True. But it’s not my idea.

 

[Speedwell]

True. But it’s not my idea.

It's yours and that of other people who agree with you about it. If you think it's a sin, don't do it.

 

[Nithavela]

Somehow these topics always seem to gravitate to the end of the world with some posters.

 

[Sparagmos]

woah. Really. TIL..

Yes, it’s been legal for most of history, at least until “quickening.”

Democrat party - the anti bigotry party!

How do they come by this knowledge they are supposedly suppressing?

because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.

Last four years I was told “ we are electing a President and not Sundays school teacher, so his personal immorality is not important” but .. sin of Transgender is important now. WOW!

I am a born-again Christian and all the scripture you put here , I agree, and try to follow. But that is my belief, that is my life-style, I can’t impose my belief on any on. Transgender Americans are as good American as any one else, they have every right to defend this country as much as I have.

Is there more than one truth?

There is certainly more than one belief.

Obviously.

Amen. It's truly ironic how these topics are suddenly important moral issues again since a Democratic President was elected. We don't live in a Christian theocracy, where biblical mandates are enforced as the law of the land. We live in a nation that was founded upon freedom, liberty, and justice for all.

It was important when a Republican was in office.
