According to a review of the Biden Pentagon’s rules, it appears that soldiers could find themselves arrested and punished if they refuse to use a transgender or otherwise mentally confused soldier’s fake “pronouns.”
It’s all just another example of how the Biden junta is making the whole country less safe, not to mention how much Democrats hate our military.
Per the Daily Caller:
A 2020 Equal Opportunity law opened the door for commanders to subject someone who refuses to affirm a transgender servicemember’s so-called gender identity to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for charges related to harassment, Capt. Thomas Wheatley, an assistant professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Such a move would likely infringe on a servicemember’s constitutional rights to uphold their conscience, but it might not prevent leaders from employing more subtle ways of disciplining service members.
Military experts told the DCNF Congress should step in before it’s too late.
The military “is right to want to protect the rights and welfare of its transgender service members. But it owes the same protection to those who share a different perspective on the issue, especially when that perspective is a deep-seated expression of personal conscience,” Wheatley told the DCNF.
None of the military’s rules explicitly prohibit so-called “misgendering,” when someone uses pronouns to describe a transgender person which do not correspond to the person’s new gender identity, Wheatley explained. However, existing guidance implies that using pronouns rejected by another person violates Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) regulations against sex-based harassment and discrimination.
This social engineering garbage is not what our military is for.
This sort of foolish focus on radical leftism tears down our service and makes us all less safe by taking the focus off actual military training and on left-wing gender politics.
