Trans Ban In the Armed Forces

The army is a place for a united fighting force without social issues.

Trans Ban In the Armed Forces
Military

It is crazy the influence POTUS has over the United States. He threw out one tweet this week on a trans ban on the military and now we have liberals supporting the military, it is practically unheard of. Look, at first I will admit I was skeptical and unsure why the President was doing this. I might be a little freaked out by transgenders, (because I don't really understand it at all), but I didn't know the logical reasoning as to why they would no longer be able to fight along side a man and a woman. Trump's line of reasoning is no where near discriminatory, it is logical rather than emotional, (how a liberal functions), like everything else he does for our country.

In the military, if you are not up to their standards you are unable to join the armed forces. Such problems for disqualification include colorblindness, being flat footed, and mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. Mental illnesses are taken the most seriously in the military and for good reason because they can put others at risk. Transgenders have what is diagnosed as "gender dysphoria," another mental illness. Naturally that would make them unable to serve in the armed forces, logically. That is problem number one. Being in the military requires laser focus, and being transgender becomes a road block in that line of vision.

Now this becomes an even bigger problem when transgender people have all their surgeries paid for via our tax dollars. Sorry that I would rather have my portion of money going towards surgeries in the armed forces going to some soldier that has had an arm blown off, rather than a new set of bolt-ons. Call me crazy, but I don't think that is helping the military what-so-ever, it is a social issue. Although liberals will say that roughly less than a percent of our tax dollars actually go towards such procedures, this is a cherry picked stat that doesn't consider the fact that in a 10 year period of time the cost of gender surgeries would rack up a 3-4 billion dollar expense. Also, these surgeries don't get rid of gender dysphoria or the depression and lack of fitting in all trans people deal with. That is an issue all on its own.

Liberals also argue that the military spends more on Viagra than on trans surgeries. Well, I don't think the military should be spending our tax dollars on any of that nonsense. The armed forces are not the place for a social experiment nor is it a place to treat erectile dysfunction. That is all I have to say on that little fact.

Case in point, I stand behind the President once again because he did what is best for the country and the armed forces. However, as I am writing this there is another march being posted on Facebook against this ban, whatever, peacefully assemble liberals. Peacefully.

God bless.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
