Transgender soldiers were dismayed by a Supreme Court decision Tuesday that sided with President Donald Trump, issuing a ruling that administration officials praised for “clearing the way” to ban most transgender troops from the military.

“Transgender soldiers are waking up and seeing this nation is going to turn their backs on them, and that is a difficult thing to swallow,” Chief Warrant Officer Lindsey Muller, an active-duty Army attack helicopter pilot who also served during the Iraq War, told BuzzFeed News.


“To be told that I’m now a burden, after nearly 19 years of service, it’s really hard to understand,” she said.

“The uneasiness is palpable,” she added, describing phone calls from other transgender soldiers and applicants. “They are terrified.”

The Supreme Court ruled a ban on most transgender people serving in the military could take effect as three cases proceed in lower courts — while leaving another case in limbo — by issuing a stay of three preliminary injunctions.



The Justice Department cheered the decision, echoing a claim from Trump and the religious right that allowing transgender troops "poses a risk to military effectiveness and lethality.”.......................... ......................

1. I hope that Caitlyn Jenner feels real remorse over her support of that orange POS. I know she wrote

that lame op ed about how "disappointed" she was in him, but damn, she needs to take responsibility for her part in this clusterfuck. She campaigned for him in 2016, for crying out loud. Shame on POtuS. Shame on SCOTUS. Shame on Jenner.

2. Bigotry and hatred is still alive and real in this country...don't tell me that it isn't. ...

Besides denying these soldiers the right to serve their country as well as mocking their existing service to this country, just wait until a horrible incident happens, where a wacko rumper goes nuts, and attacks a transg. soldier, who deserves nothing but the utmost support, in serving our country.

A person may think I'm hyper about this, but such incidents have happened, especially after being emboldened with this ruling.

In all of the years of service, in all of the millions of man hours that have been provided to this country by gay and / or lesbian and/or transgendered people in service to this country, where are the so called incidents that clearly states that these people can't serve this country, being a possible danger? The same thing also is literally true for those who so call follow the bible and used misinterpreted meanings for bigotry and hatred towards gay, lesbian, bi, and transgendered people. Where are these so called transgressions against mankind? Where?

Of the millions of positive things done, the tens of millions of hours (no, I'll use the words 'uncountable' number of hours) performed in service to this country and humanity, where are those so called negative incidents?

Seems like to me that these so called potential negative incidents in the real world are 100% being caused by rabid, white supremacists, actual fact.

This is wrong. This is bigotry. This is hatred. This is not America. This is WRONG.
