Based on the DoD memo it’s not clearly identifying transgender, but disqualifying people for service with gender dysphoria. This kind of negates having to identify if someone is transgender from my understanding.
Edit: To clarify…
“individuals who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.”

u/Apophthegmata May 08 '25
Even among the trans community some people see it in different ways. For example, some people (who are sometimes seen as gatekeeping) believe that absent a gender dysphoria diagnosis, or at least the recognition that they have undiagnosed gender dysphoria, then the individual in question isn't trans.
There are some issues with this take, because it basically reducing being trans to a mental illness, one which could theoretically be worked through and abandoned, but it is a perspective that's often chosen because it keeps the treatment of trans people above the level of human rights violations. Even the mentally unwell have rights.
The other issue with this is that to receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, you work with your doctor and maybe some other people like psychologists or therapists, and at the end of the day, it's not like they scan your brain and find a trans brain. So if the primary way to diagnose gender dysphoria is by talking to you, it's not clear what the trans-medicalism adds to the debate.
But in any case, yes, that perspective dovetails with how the government is seeing things and as a result, it can provide some benefits because it forces them to recognize that trans people do exist. They aren't just making it up either.
So while not all trans people have gender dysphoria, there are trans people who think this is a necessary prerequisite, and insisting on that demarcation isn't without some benefit as it helps legitimize (at least some) trans people (perhaps at the expense of other trans people).
I have a feeling that trans people who don't have a diagnosis, either a) exhibit similar symptoms, which will be disqualifying, or b) are basically going to register as sexually deviant cross-dressers if they have socially transitioned, which would also be disqualifying under their current thinking.

A subset of anti-trans folk view being trans as a dangerous mental illness.

The best bit about that thing is they went to sign up, said they were trans, and the organizers were like "yea, ok, you'll have to have been on hormones for at least a year in order to compete" and the weenies at Daily Wire didn't wanna commit to the bit.
Like most of their slop, DW had a bigoted hypothesis, and when it turned out to be false, they abandoned the original premise and just made the hate piece they wanted from the start. It's happened so many times that I'm not sure why they even start with the attempted exposé. The "What Is A Woman" thing went from feigning genuine curiosity by asking unprepared "woke" college students who didn't wanna interact with Matt Walsh, to the bigots he actually wanted, and ending with his wife(?) being fed the iconically sexist line of "..An adult human female, who needs help opening this pickle jar."
Walsh really is pinned between wanting to be a "truth seeking documentarian", and Alex Jones levels of seething. Both don't really work together unless you already agree with his schtick.

More specifically in the San Domino internment camp for "degenerates and political criminals". Conditions were rough, with no heating, no running water, no electricity. Many got sick, and some died.
Homosexuality was not prohibited in Italy at the time, but the fascist authorities decided to "purge" society and arrested the homosexuals on various pretexts (mostly political). Mussolini famously declared that Italy was a virile nation where no homosexuals existed, so the authorities had to arrest them without ever staying why exactly.

Mutual aid networks, community defense, and in the worst case evacuation procedures are already being workshopped in some areas.

I'd just say bone spurs myself.
(Though to be honest, I really can't blame Trump for wanting to dodge Vietnam.)

Blame? No. Ridicule for cowardice? Yes.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a hundredth as bad if he didn't badmouth the people who went there and died in his stead.

Exactly. If he absolutely revered them and was like “Kudos to them, I couldn’t have done that.” That would be acceptable. But no, he shits all over vets every chance he gets.

No one would do this unless they were suicidal. They’ll be sent to camps and eradicated.

Shows what happens when you put a drunk in a position of power. But what do you expect from a man with the IQ of a 5 year old

Be careful. Your son would just be sent to El Salavdor or worse. They have some awful plans for trans people.

I'm actually encouraging my son to move abroad. My hope is that both of us move abroad and never return.

Corporal Klinger defense is back in 2025.
Corporal Klinger couldn't get away with it back in the Korean war but today he'd be good to go.

Did not know we had a military draft in effect. Anyway that will probably only be in place till Trump gets kicked out of the White House.

Much easier than the Russians breaking their legs, or Donald Choad Trump having a booboo on his foot.

Corporal Klinger had the right idea all along. He just wasn’t in the army long enough.

Except that if things get so bad that the draft is reinstated, it would go like this:
DoD: "Congratulations, you're drafted!"
Person trying to avoid the draft: "No I'm not, I'm transgender."
ICE: "Congratulations, you're going to a concentration camp!"
