Banned
My face when Republicans actually tried to make a thread about banning Trans people from the US military about how they're being treated poorly by a single forum aaaaahhhhh
I never said it was a game, I meant that I've agreed with a lot of his point of view but eventually there is a tipping point where you just turn and wonder what his angle is. .
Well that's easy, many here have become blinded with rage in the Trump era (rightly so or not) and are no longer open to discussion or tolerant of any other ideas apart from their own. Honestly, I think some have become the very monsters they sought to slay.
They can serve, but they should pay for their own surgery period.
This.
I value my Gaf account and don't want to be banned anymore than I already have over politics. On Gaf, I know my POV isn't popular and will be called racist/homophobe etc.
I just lurk now and laugh at some of the posts some folks type up. Mostly stick to Gaming Discussion.
This shouldn't be on the tax payer period, if they are paying for that stuff, they should stop immediately.

Thats a real brave stand you are taking there on the open discrimination of minorities.This.

I'm not jumping your ass, but this is dangerously close to the line of thinking people use for why women shouldn't serve in the army too. Stuff like "they might need tampons in the field" and "their hormones are raging during their periods, they'll snap" are routinely used to prove as evidence that they're unfit to lead or serve.So don't crucify me for this, as I don't agree with the decision, but could there be an actual logistical reason for this?
If, for instance, you need insulin regularly, you most likely aren't going to be allowed into the military, because what if you are stuck in a combat zone and can't get it?
Couldn't the same line of thought apply to transgender people who need a regular supply of hormone drugs?
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. Still think if you want to serve and you have no physical defects then you should be allowed to no matter what.
This is why the lesser of two evils argument during the election doesn't hold water. Innocent people have a lot to lose, and they will.
For those of you who keep telling yourselves this isn't normal...this is normal. Trump didn't come up with this idea. This hatred is boiling under the surface of every institution.
They can serve, but they should pay for their own surgery period.
They should stop paying for medically necessary surgeries?
Do you understand how the military works? It's basically socialized healthcare. They should not stop that immediately. WTF?
This shouldn't be on the tax payer period, if they are paying for that stuff, they should stop immediately.
For many folks, this is self-defense.Well that's easy, many here have become blinded with rage in the Trump era (rightly so or not) and are no longer open to discussion or tolerant of any other ideas apart from their own. Honestly, I think some have become the very monsters they sought to slay.
This here. And if Trump is so fucking worried about money he should quit going to fucking Mar-a-Lago. You know how many surgeries one trip could pay for?Bullshit.
Tricare pays for Lasik for military members, they pay for female military members to get breast reductions if it's a medical need.
If the government is so worried about saving money, then they should stop wasting money on shit like the F-35.
Medical costs are provided by the US military when you're enlisted. This specifically is a minor cost compared to the rest of the defense budget. And yeah, he didn't even make that an option because he's a transphobic trash heap.They can serve, but they should pay for their own surgery period.

Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.

I would love to see intelligent conservatives who disagree with popular opinion on GAF speak up more. But this "FYI, I disagree, but I refuse to articulate an opposing argument; just know I'm laughing in the background" kind of post is worthless. I wouldn't mind it becoming a bannable offense.
Show the slightest amount of courage and/or conviction and/or pride. Jesus.
Straight up, if you know you're going to be called a racist/homophobe repeatedly for your stances you've got to start asking yourself if it's just GAF being up it's own ass or if you're actually just a racist/bigot and don't want to come to terms with it.This.

Right, so I don't understand how the American system works. How does the American President get impeached and why has the process to do so not started yet?

Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.Just because a Dragonslayer is covered in the Dragon's blood doesn't also make him a dragon.

Basically said fuck you, we don't need your kind in the military. Now GTFO.Yea, but Trump didn't even make that an option.
He just fucking banned Trans people outright. Even the ones who WOULD pay their own medical costs can't even serve now.
Why any LGBTQ, PoC, or other minority would want to serve a country that despises them, I don't know. America, as it stands, ain't worth dying for.
The amendment crafted by Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., would have forbid money from being spent by the militarys health care system for medical treatment related to gender transition. Hartzler portrayed her proposal as a good government plan aimed at assuring military dollars are spent only on critical national defense needs.
Hartzler estimated transition surgeries, which she said most private insurance plans dont even cover, could cost the military $1.3 billion over the next 10 years. Troops who have the surgery require months of recovery, she added, which means theyre unavailable to do their jobs.
Hartzler, a four-term congresswoman who has been mentioned as a possible 2018 challenger to Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., has suggested forcing transgender service members out of the military services. But she backed away from her plan last month, saying she would give Mattis and other senior military leaders the room to settle personnel matters internally.
Look at what thread you're in, there is no legitimate discussion from the other side of this argument.I can't speak for the person you're quoting but in my case it isn't a lack courage or conviction, it's a belief that it's an exercise in futility. I love a good, friendly debate with someone that doesn't agree with my opinion but lately the winds have shifted and things are much more hostile (on all sides) to the point where it's no longer enjoyable discussing our disagreements.
This is the Scarmucci Effect. He wants Trump to be Trump.
