Pete Hegseth Suggests Judge Report to Military Bases After Ruling that Pentagon MUST Allow Transgender Troops Since She is “Now a Top Military Planner

[Turd Fergusen]

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday said the judge who ruled that the Pentagon must allow transgender troops should report to military bases since she is “now a top military planner.”

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, D.C., issued a preliminary injunction last week blocking the Pentagon from enforcing President Donald Trump’s executive order banning transgender people from serving in the military.

Trump’s Jan. 27 order said “expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service” and instructed the Department of Defense to update its medical standards for military service and pronoun policies.

The president’s order said that “beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.”

In her ruling, the judge said Trump’s order contains language that is “unabashedly demeaning,” adding that the policy “stigmatizes transgender persons as inherently unfit.”

Here I thought the DUI hire Hegseth gave up the sauce, I guess he lied about that.

I wish it was just that, but he is also piece of shit, just like his boss, King Turd.

Do you remember the email Hegseth's own fucking mother sent to him? If not, here is:

"You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth."

lol, what a fucking shit show we have in the White House.

Hegseth orders same physical requirements for men, women in combat roles, says US ‘allowed standards to slip’​

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo Monday ordering men and women to meet the same physical fitness requirements if they want to serve in combat roles, saying the Pentagon had “allowed standards to slip.”

“Different standards for men and women in combat arms, MOS and jobs, that’s not acceptable,” Hegseth said in a video posted to X, using the abbreviation for “military occupational specialty,” or job type.

“We have to have the same standard — male or female — in our combat roles to ensure our men and women who are under our leaders, or in those formations, have the best possible leaders and the highest possible standards that are not based at all on your sex.”

The memo, which orders the military branches to “develop comprehensive plans to distinguish combat arms occupations from non-combat arms occupations,” specifies in hand-underlined text that the soon-to-be-developed standards must not “result in any existing service member being held to a lower standard.”

“All entry-level and sustained physical fitness requirements within combat arms positions must be sex-neutral, based solely on the operational demands of the occupation and the readiness needed to confront any adversary,” Hegseth wrote.

Service secretaries now have 60 days to submit their proposed combat-role standards, and military branches will then be required to implement the changes within six months.

Hegseth ... says US 'allowed standards to slip’

Whiskey Leaks is finally correct about something.

I completely agree that transgenders do not belong in the military.
I also completely agree that the wording is demeaning. Beyond demeaning. To flat out say that you cannot be honorable, truthful or disciplined in your personal life because you're transgender? Just leave it at the huge liability it is from a medical standpoint.
It's not criminal. Being transgender, on it's own, is not interfering with anyone else's life, except maybe how someone may feel about it. No reason to get personal.

This is the thing for me. You are not fit to serve if you are on a daily regimine of medication. My Dad was honorably discharged because his Juvenile Diabetes wasn't discovered until he was already in the Army. If Dad wasn't allowed to serve past the time he already served, because of his daily medication regimine, no one else should be allowed to serve that is on a daily medication regimine either. Unless that rule has been changed to serve ONLY trangendered members of the military, which would in and of itself be incredibly unfair... For me it isn't a "I hate the queers!" kind of thing. It's an "everyone else has to live by the rules, so do you" kind of thing.

I'm sorry for your dad. Especially if he really enjoyed serving. That would be extremely difficult to deal with. While I don't know a ton of people who took on the military as a serious, long term career, those who do tend to really live it like a lifestyle. If your dad intended to be one of those, I can only imagine the blow that would be.
But that's exactly the point. The rules are the rules. And they are there for a reason! Making an exception would be write that exception in blood. They are a liability to everyone else's safety if they need daily medication. What are you going to do in combat if you're stuck and can't get to your medication?? What if you have some sort of reaction or, while unlikely but nowhere near impossible, the stress or the environment effects the way your medication works? Diabetes is a good example of that - everything from weather to exercise to stress can change your levels, thus your insulin needs.
It is just too dangerous for you and everyone around you.
But the personal attacks in the order leave a very sour taste in my mouth.

Dad was older by the time we came along, he had a wife and children before he met Mom, so we're his second set of kids (the divorce from his first wife was already in the works before they met). I think on his part it was more patriotism and the ramp up to WWII. And given that no one knew for a couple of years before it was discovered, the Army did honor all of it's committments, like we got VA benefits after he passed away when I was 12. And all of the survivors benefits for higher education and such. I don't think it was going to be a life choice for him. More than likely, it was to advance his knowledge. Dad went to a fairly rural school and upon graduation, he moved to a larger town (Astoria, Oregon to Portland, Oreogn) and redid his senior year of high school before he joined the Army, all on his own volition. He was that into learning. My brother would have happily spent his life doing the Army Reserves thing, but as we know in big governement orgs like the military, shit rolls downhill, and Bro got caught in some shit that wasn't his doing, and like a toddler, he quit in a huff after 14 years in...
