    Since he’s the issue a is this a confession that he’s actually trans?

    fuck oooofffffffff with this "maybe he's trans huhuhu" garbage

    it's not a "gotcha", and if it was meant to be a joke what a shitty fucking joke

    EDIT: Removed the quoted comment since it was deleted and the original commenter has apologized. I'm going to leave the rest of my response because I still think it's important. I've edited out some of the explanatory language and made my response less personal.


    Listen, it's not the own people think it is. This guy doesn't know who you or I are. These kinds of "jokes" are doing nothing but signaling to trans people and allies that people don't really care about the problems they face. It shows me that someone is unsafe. Please do better.

    I suppose, couldn't possibly be that he's in way over his head and has no idea how to actually lead anything other than his dear pedo-in-chief. Might as well find scapegoats, it's the American Way™.

    “It means no more DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion]. It means no more tr**nies, just training,” he said. “It means colorblind, gender-neutral, merit-based, back-to-basics across the board, no matter if you’re carrying a rifle or you’re working on the plant floor.”

    His use of the anti-trans slur could also have legal implications for the trans military ban. Judges may be less likely to agree that the policy is based on real government interests and not animus towards transgender people if the person in charge of implementing it uses slurs against the people it targets.

    Like I can understand the argument against trans women in sports, even if I couldn't disagree with it more, but how does being trans matter to military service? I get the actual reason is bigotry, but what is the cover argument? Or have we hit the point where they can just say no trans people because we hate them?

    Yeah, like even the next paragraph of "colorblind, gender neutral, merit-based" would like specifically mean "I don't give a shit if you're trans, you're all getting judged the same"

    He doesn't even wait 2 seconds to contradict his stupid point
