T-Gender Navy SEAL Purple Heart to GOP- 'Tell me to my face that I'm not worthy'

  3. T-Gender Navy SEAL Purple Heart to GOP- 'Tell me to my face that I'm not worthy'
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kristin-beck-transgender-navy-seal-144339198.html

A retired Navy SEAL Team 6 hero who is transgender had a message for President Donald Trump after he announced the US military would bar transgender people from serving."Let's meet face to face and you tell me I'm not worthy," Kristin Beck, a 20-year veteran of the Navy SEALs, told Business Insider on Wednesday. "Transgender doesn't matter. Do your service."

Beck said Trump's abrupt change in policy could negatively affect many currently or wanting to serve in the military. The RAND Corporation estimated in 2016 that there were between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender people serving. Many of them just want to serve their country like everyone else, Beck said. "Being transgender doesn't affect anyone else," Beck said. "We are liberty's light. If you can't defend that for everyone that's an American citizen, that's not right."

Beck is not just your average service member. Born Christopher Beck, she served for 20 years in the Navy with SEAL Teams 1, 5, and, eventually, the elite 6. She deployed 13 times over two decades, including stints in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. She received the Bronze Star award for valor and the Purple Heart for wounds suffered in combat.

"I was defending individual liberty," she said. "I defended for Republicans. I defended for Democrats. I defended for everyone." In a series of tweets, Trump said the decision was based on the costs of medical services that transgender service members could use. But "the money is negligible," Beck said. "You're talking about .000001% of the military budget.

"They care more about the airplane or the tank than they care about people," Beck said. "They don't care about people. They don't care about human beings." When asked about potential problems with unit cohesion or war fighting, Beck said those were not issues that would arise from transgender service members, but from leadership.

"A very professional unit with great leadership wouldn't have a problem," Beck said. "I can have a Muslim serving right beside Jerry Falwell, and we're not going to have a problem. It's a leadership issue, not a transgender issue."

I hope that wasn't directed towards me. Sometimes civil disobedience is the only way to defend yourself when other options won't work. What Trump did today is unforgivable to trans soldiers everywhere and they need to tell him what they think of it.

Yes because I'm sure murdering every transsexual soldier for trying to protect their rights as American citizens would go real well with the public (sarcasm)

Is part of this an attempt by Trump admins to ensure people aren't joining the military with the intent to turn around and use military benefits to get free sex change operations? If you had transgender soldiers, wouldn't the military be required to pay for their ongoing hormone treatments indefinitely? 

I would bet that is more likely than Trump actively hating trans people. His wife is a super model, he's DJT , he sees that s*** everywhere. No big deal.

Yeah, the military can barely take care of the people that actually need treatment. But lets add all this other stuff. And imagine the b****fit the left would have if a transgender was turned away so someone with an actual medical problem could get care.

Agreed. Logistically, it would almost certainly be a f***ing nightmare. 

Hence the emotional appeals. 'Former navy seal stands up to evil Trump!!' Pure basic, emotional propoganda to push an agenda. No f***s given to the enormous problems that would be created by their demands.

Only 6k. Why wouldn't i, as a business or.. military leader, not hire new recruits without these serious medical issues?

Except the National Anthem isn't necessarily about the troops. 

Maybe liberals need to be more concerned with their own image (like their deluded obsession with Russia and Donald Trump) instead of what conservatives look like. 

Identity politics, virtue signaling and mud slinging aren't gonna get you the house and senate back (or the presidency for that matter).

    I mean, it is a problem that people can't get coverage, but turning people away for being transgender is wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right.

    So you want it so even more people lose coverage? Not to mention the coverage that would be going to trans people rather than people that actually need it because of PTSD and injuries.
    Where did I say I want more people to lose coverage? I think it's terrible how veterans don't get support. My brother has been in the military for 19 years. I'd be pissed off if he couldn't get coverage after giving up his life to the military. Forcing people out of the military for being transgender is still wrong any way you slice it. They got rid of benefits for police in certain counties of Florida as well even if they spend 20 years of their life serving. The whole system is f***ed up everywhere, but I'm not gonna pretend like I know how to fix any of this stuff.

    It's dumb as hell to enlist needy transgender people when there are plenty of recruits without those medical issues. Remember when Brad manning the traitor got the government to pay for his sex change? Wow that pissed me off.

    If a trans individual had had surgery already, the military would still be on the hook for their drugs. So they are bogging down the med because of their gender identification issues in a situation where lives are at stake. This isn't a f***in game.

    It would be great if Dems were doing anything but 'resisting' and OBSESSING over Trump. I don't even think Bill Clinton had this much coverage on getting his dick sucked and that was a real thing. 

    Also "plausible" is a stretch, considering they haven't found ANYTHING linking Trump or his organization with Putin yet. Absolutely NOTHING, and this has been going on for 6 months.

    - Serving in the military is not a right
    - It's immoral to demand soldiers entrust their lives to individuals prone to suicide, as transgenders overwhelmingly are
    - The cost of GRS is not fiscally sound, especially when there are much more minor cost-saving measures that even disqualify people who are too short and too tall.
    - General f***in Mattis agrees that trans people shouldn't serve.

    I'm not sure how to make this simpler for you.

    Instead, Beck should walk their ass up to Mattis and tell him that they know more about running a military than Mad Dog Mattis does.

    Maybe the reason transgender people have such a high suicide rate is because people won't accept them for who they are, which this rule actively contributes to.

    I'd ask him if he would rather trust his life to someone with a 2% chance of being suicidal or someone with a ~40% chance of being suicidal.

    Anyone who's being honest will give the same answer.
    Maybe the reason transgender people have such a high suicide rate is because people won't accept them for who they are, which this rule actively contributes to.

    If this were true, then black people would surely have a higher suicide rate than white people, right? But they don't. In fact it's way lower. 

    There's no evidence that not being accepted enough is a cause for suicide. Stop being dumb.

    There is the argument, made by some service members, that trans inclusion into the armed forces could be detrimental to mission readiness because the transition process can take a trans service member out of deployment rotation, for example, for x amount of months. (Sorry, I don't know what x time frame would be, but it's not just a few days.) Of course, this applies to a trans person who did not transition prior to enlistment, and decides to transition during their service career.

    They disqualify people over 80 inches tall from enlisting because they don't want to order more uniform sizes. 

    Go ahead, tell them that aren't worthy enough to serve.

    Still waitin MAL

    - Serving in the military is not a right
    - It's immoral to demand soldiers entrust their lives to individuals prone to suicide, as transgenders overwhelmingly are
    - The cost of GRS is not fiscally sound, especially when there are much more minor cost-saving measures that even disqualify people who are too short and too tall.
    - General f***in Mattis agrees that trans people shouldn't serve.

    I'm not sure how to make this simpler for you.

    Instead, Beck should walk their ass up to Mattis and tell him that they know more about running a military than Mad Dog Mattis does.

    And worrying about suicide rates among transgenders is ridiculous considering suicide rates among veterans. Maybe transgender individuals would be less likely to commit suicide if s*** like this wasn't treating them like they're not people?

    I'm saying I'm already paying high taxes to support an astronomical military budget, and eliminating this practice (by banning transgender people from service) will not in any way impact me financially, so that would be a pretty stupid way to justify my position one way or the other. 

    You won't reap benefits from the military not paying for these operations. 

    Besides, they chose to serve this country, and I appreciate their service and their willingness to lay down their lives for our freedoms if need be. So, if they want medicine and surgery, sure; go ahead. You earned it by putting yourself between me and my nation's enemies.

      But military already has lots of benefits and they're getting paid for it. 

      What we should just do whatever they want? Because again it's not like we don't give any benefits to military's personnel and yes they are heroes for what they do but it doesn't mean my taxes should pay for that really. It's something you want for yourself it doesn't help anyone and you have a job that pays you money already anyway. 


      Especially when lots of people don't even believe in that stuff. Our military budget should be focused on health (they need), training, weapons, recruitment. Not on feelings really. 

      If we focus our budget on feelings it should be to make sure they can see their family more! ^.^

      It's something we might not feel that they need, per se, but that individual may feel he or she needs it. I don't know that men necessarily NEED viagara, but it's paid for by the military. Now, I'm not equating costs here like some outlets have done because that's ridiculous; the number of men vs. the number of transgender people makes it an unfair monetary comparison. But it's an optional "medication" that is paid for by us, the taxpayers. 

      Where we differ here seems to be what you're willing to allow your tax dollars to go to, and what you're not. That's fine. I'm okay with paying for these surgeries and medications for any veteran. 

      I'm honestly tired of arguing on here about it all. I get where you're coming from, partly, but I can't agree.

      "I feel like I need this" doesn't mean you do and that is an argument that is just so sad that people except. No that individual doesn't need it. They don't like where they are or how they feel so good in you for looking to change it for what you like better but it isn't anyone else's responsibility it's purely desire. 

      And I argue against paying for viagra too so that's a weak argument. 

      I think we need tax deductible charities. 
      If you want a "trans surgeries for the vets" then that's fine but it doesn't mean I should be legally obligated to pay into that

      It would be great if Dems were doing anything but 'resisting' and OBSESSING over Trump.

      Oh, you mean how the Democrats proposed multiple bills to fix Medicaid and Obamacare, and none of you shills gave one f*** about it?


      First of all, I didn't vote for the man, I'm just tired of Fox News being the only news network that isn't dedicated towards Russian BS that has really gotten nowhere. I am right-leaning, but I don't defend Trump blindly. I would prefer him not being the president, but he was a better choice than Hillary and if I'm a shill (I'm not a politician so why my opinion on a bill really doesn't matter because I don't get to vote on it), then if you were a Bernie bro and voted for Hillary, you basically just took it up the ass with a smile on your face.

      Second of all, giving MORE tax credits with no tort reform, and offering even worse plans than the Bronze plans (which basically cover nothing as it is) isn't fixing a damn thing. If they offered a worthwhile solution, Republicans would sure as s*** entertain it because they are going to the point of a full repeal if they can't reach an agreement on replacing it. 

      Third, if you're a liberal, using terms like "snowflake, cuck, shill, etc." is stupid lol. Using words that the alt-right coined makes you look even more butthurt. It doesn't offend anyone, it just shows that dems are losing their mind so badly that they will resort to using the same stupid insults in order to try to get a rise out of conservatives. 

      Liberals could've taken the high road, and they'd have a better chance of getting Trump out of there if they kept their cool. I can't even have a real life political conversation with a democrat right now because they literally will not discuss something at all because they can't keep their cool. It is a sad state of affairs when you can't use facts anymore to back up your statements without being considered a bigot and not making someone want to f***ing kill you just because you think slightly different than them.

      Everything that Trump has stated has turned out to be false and full of s***. It's already been proven that he is a more corrupt politician than Clinton, and his attempts to repeal Obamacare will lead to higher premiums, and worse coverage nationally than what Obamacare was providing. Dozens and dozens of prominent conservative writers and intellectuals have already admitted that Clinton would make a better President than Trump.

      I think the argument is that if you transform yourself sexually, you were a 'woman trapped in a man's body' so therefore you were a woman your whole life. Point being, Bruce Jenner just got some fake t*** and started wearing a dress, so apparently body parts don't matter, and apparently if you want to stretch it out neither does your appearance. I know plenty of lesbians that aren't transgender that tbh look like men.

      But he was against it from the beginning.

      And worrying about suicide rates among transgenders is ridiculous considering suicide rates among veterans.

      If the greater population can become suicidal so easily after experiencing war, what hope does the population with a 40% suicide rate have?

      Maybe transgender individuals would be less likely to commit suicide if s*** like this wasn't treating them like they're not people?

      This keeps getting brought up but no one has proof it's true.

      And before you say it should be obvious, first explain why white people have a higher suicide rate than black people. Is it because white people are more discriminated against?
