The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)

Again, we’re letting the leftist lunatics run the asylum. People with serious mental/psychological health issues need help, and until they stabilize, don’t need to serve in the military (maybe in finance or some other backend support role). It should be an immediate disqualification for any role once they start chopping off body parts.

From the bill itself: “(A) Individuals may serve in the Armed Forces if they have been stable for 36 consecutive months in their biological sex prior to accession.”

Just like Trump’s EO, the bill does not ban transgenders from serving in the military. It prohibits “transitioning” individuals from serving if they are undergoing medical treatment as part of the process. 

Pretty reasonable law considering that part of being in the military is being medically ready to deploy. But as usual the critics misconstrue facts in order to incite fear and dissension. 

But hey our service chiefs say nothing to worry about regarding work policies!! All is good.

The wording is confusing. Biological sex is fixed and unchangeable, even the lunatics still admit that. So is this saying that trans people who revert back to their actual biological sex?

There's still that whole suicide ideation rate that far exceeds the normal population so you've got that to deal with even after the 3 year wait.

Yeah but to be fair lets not pretend the DoD cares one iota about that. Like.... I will give you a lot of this is nonsense, but lets not pretend that suicide ideation in troops is something the DoD views as a problem.

I read it as fixed in their “new” gender, or stable in their original gender…at least that’s how it was applied during the Trump Era rule.

A 40% suicidality (sp?) rate. I guess we as a military are ok with that.

A sad example of someone who appeared to be happy and literally put in front of the public to celebrate their authenticity but it wasn't enough to overcome mental challenges.

A man (yes an effin’ MAN) willingly remove his junk, sooner or later that act is gonna hit home. Truly sad that some decide to take this path.

True.  And this does nothing to improve or sustain our ability to kill people or break their stuff but that isn't the priory of those in charge.

Finland doesn't have diversity.  That's a reason they could be happier there.  Lol

You know what's odd about the "Nordic countries are happier surveys?" Their suicide rate is really high among developed countries. Not Japan high but higher than the rest of Western Europe and the US. Fucking odd they would do that because they're so happy......

Both median and average happiness can still be higher even if there are more data points on the far left of the chart with a pistol stuffed in their mouth. I don’t think it’s a lot more complicated than that.

Some people simply choose to be miserable.  These broads have been threatening to leave this country since before Trump was elected and I'm still waiting on them to deliver on that promise.  They appear to only contribute to people being more miserable...

United did something like a 5-part series of articles highlighting this person's trans journey a few years back.  

Very tragic, indeed.

"If you’re Black and you’ve shared such images online, you get a pass. But if you’re White, you may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism."  - John Blake 

Dear God, I had no idea.  I'm so glad they let us know about this new form of hate.   

I wonder what John thinks about this:   

 

[TreeA10]

Just makes me wonder what will be offensive tomorrow. It's amusing when the offended stumble into being offensive and are socially guillotined like the leaders of the French revolution.

ESPN honoring a man who wants to be a woman during Women’s History Month is truly classic.
