“I really wish you were the man we all fell in love with. This is not about party lines: this is about your incredible mind and everything you can truly accomplish in this world. You were born to be a great leader. But not like this. You’re hurting too many people”

Trump orders removal of queer members from the military

Since Trump took office there has been measures to limit transgender and queer rights inclunding removal of queer members from the military. A memo, released last month, says, “Within 30 days, the Pentagon must identify service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria, which is the medical term for the severe emotional distress caused by the misalignment between one’s gender identity and birth sex.”

Memo adds, “Some trans service members can be considered for a waiver on a case-by-case basis provided there is a compelling Government interest in accessing the applicant that directly supports warfighting capabilities. They also must show 36 consecutive months of stability in their sex assigned at birth without clinical distress or impairment of functioning, that they have never pursued medical transition, and that they are willing to adhere to the standards for their sex.”
