Military Builds Case to block Transgender Applicants
WASHINGTON — A controversial Pentagon directive that would allow transgender men and women to join the military beginning this summer now faces indefinite delay as senior leaders within each of the services voice lingering concerns about the Obama-era policy intended to end discrimination but dismissed by critics as social experimentation.
This development, confirmed to Military Times by multiple sources with knowledge of these internal discussions, comes as the Defense Department faces a July 1 deadline to fully implement a policy that one year ago lifted the ban on transgender personnel already in uniform, and established the conditions and timeline by which new applicants could join either through enlistment or as officer candidates.

How Transgender Ideology Has Infiltrated My Field and Produced Large-Scale Child Abuse
Transgender politics have taken Americans by surprise, and caught some lawmakers off guard.
Just a few short years ago, not many could have imagined a high-profile showdown over transgender men and women’s access to single-sex bathrooms in North Carolina.
But transgender ideology is not just infecting our laws. It is intruding into the lives of the most innocent among us—children—and with the apparent growing support of the professional medical community.
As explained in my 2016 peer reviewed article, “Gender Dysphoria in Children and Suppression of Debate,” professionals who dare to question the unscientific party line of supporting gender transition therapy will find themselves maligned and out of a job.

Canadian Newborn to decide Gender
(UPI) — Canada’s health department did not identify a baby’s gender on birth documents because the parent wants the baby to decide which gender to identify with.
The Gender Free I.D. Coalition said Searyl Atli Doty did not undergo a gender inspection at the time of their birth. The coalition’s stated vision is “to remove all gender/sex designations from identity documents.”
The group says Searyl is the first baby to officially skip the process of getting a government-designated gender at birth.
“It is up to Searyl to decide how they identify, when they are old enough to develop their own gender identity,” Kori Doty, the child’s parent, said in the statement. “I am not going to foreclose their choices based on an arbitrary assignment of gender at birth based on an inspection of their genitals.”
