s trans military ban is bullshit on wednesday afternoon president trump announced the reinstatement of a ban via twitter preventing transgender people from serving in any and all branches of the military in any capacity the ban would not only prohibit transgender people from joining military but would force military personnel already serving to give up their positions this decision seems to have been made very abruptly considering that during both his campaign and his presidency thus far he has never voiced his interest or concern about whether or not he thinks trans people should be able to serve their country in fact senators from both major parties were quite shocked by this decision and immediately took to twitter to advocate for trans involvement in the military thanking them for their service and assuring them that who they are is not a burden a word trump used to describe the medical expenses of trans people in the armed forces even republican senator john mccain who is notoriously socially conservative voiced his outrage over trump s news saying that the tweets trump posted announcing the ban were unclear and that there is no reason to force any service members who are able to fight train and deploy to leave the military while trump claims the ban is due to the cost of hormone replacement therapy and or reassignment surgery that transgender military personnel may need these expenses are a fraction of the cost of the department of defense s healthcare expenditures totaling to only around 8 4 million at most out of a 49 billion dollar budget in other words attempting to justify this ban as a way to decrease costs is simply untrue in addition banning an entire demographic of people from the military is not only discriminatory and echoes not so distant moments in american history when black or gay people couldn t serve but it decreases the number of willing and able citizens who want to fight to protect their country all the while this regressive and discriminatory announcement of the ban falls on the 69th anniversary of the day president harry truman desegregated the armed forces share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook

poets reject reality sadness words writer writers writing 5 comments on uncomfortably numb deconstructing 7 harsh realities of life millennials need to understand i recently came across this article entitled 7 harsh realities of life millennials need to understand written by tyler durden and published on the website zero hedge in the article durden lists seven ways in which he thinks millennials as an entire generation presumably are lacking in intelligence and hard work ethic in addition to being too soft and too politically correct while his tone throughout the entirety of the article is unquestionably demeaning and mocking i however am going to provide an adult analysis and counter argument to the content he has provided thus far your feelings are largely irrelevant in his first point he claims that millennials insist that others tip toe around their feelings and are much too fragile when it comes to receiving insults or negative criticisms from those with either different perspectives or backgrounds one example he provides is the concept of mis gendering someone which could involve using the wrong pronouns when referring to an individual in the third person this however is not a matter of feelings or an inability to accept criticism but more about a denial of identity yes you have the right to say whatever you want and you will obviously continue to do that without fail but maintaining a basic level of respect for those around you is not a radical idea or a ploy for millennials to be coddled for example if i insulted someone s religion or christian identity they would likely get very upset and the majority response would not be that they insist upon be coddled or that they are playing the victim card but rather any uproar or objections would largely denounce this comment as disrespectful while one is very much allowed to say it doing so is not an effective way for someone to gain and maintain the basic amount of respect one should hope to receive in return 2 you cannot be whatever you want to be for years parents have told their children that they are capable of anything they put their mind to or work hard enough at but no one ever seriously believes them especially in today s economic and employment climates considering how difficult it is currently to get an entry level job many people do not waste away their days chasing pipe dreams obviously there are a few as there have been among many previous generations but this is far from the norm despite the claim that they are much too entitled many millennials do not have the luxury and certainly cannot afford to engage in a hobby or profession which does not guarantee a livable wage or substantial pay check at my university and at many others there are students from various economic backgrounds who not only dedicate themselves to their studies but also work part time jobs to help alleviate some of the students loans they will eventually have to pay off in addition many students choose to volunteer teach inner city youth intern at various organizations and corporations take on independent study projects or even tutor each other and there is nothing lazy or entitled about that 3 gender studies is a waste of money while a degree in gender studies may not guarantee the same salary as a medical degree it is not per se a waste of money firstly there are a considerably small amount of students who choose to study gender to begin with so it is not as if this is a rampant or widespread course of study and neither is it new secondly some of the greatest intellectuals and theorists have studied gender such as judith butler and michel foucault based upon their many works of essays books analyses of theories and their common occurrences and relation to a number of subjects it is reasonable to claim that their successes have been largely sufficient whether a degree is or is not a waste of money is largely subjective and depends upon what one chooses to do with it there are various other degrees that people have often deemed to be useless like history or psychology yet there are many successful and brilliant people who have attained those degrees and based on the outcome of their lives would argue that it was not in fact a waste of money 4 if you live in america you re already in the 1 the one percent refers to people in the united states who are the top earners within the country and contain the most wealth overall it is not a worldly concept but is rather particular to one nation in addition no one has ever looked at uganda and thought that the people who lived there are better off than even the poorest of americans that is quite a fabricated notion so yes the u s is far better off than other countries both developed and undeveloped but the concept of the 1 is not applicable because it is based on a measurement of wealth owned by individuals or corporations within a specific country and is not a comparison of one country s wealth and privileges versus all the others 5 you don t have a right to it just because you exist in this section durden says that one s existence does not mean that one is entitled to healthcare shelter etc and while this seems reasonable his argument claims that individuals need to work hard to acquire the money to pay for things like health insurance and a home implying that that is currently not the case that people are just sitting around not making an effort to get a job even though they are quite capable and able however an overwhelming majority of those who are near or below the poverty line or can barely get by work more than one job and still cannot afford healthcare working hard does not guarantee economic success it should but currently that is not the case so it is difficult to attribute a lack of healthcare or wealth to laziness when there are single parents most often mothers working up to four jobs trying to keep their families afloat by providing an income to pay for food clothing and shelter whose jobs either lack health benefits or simply do not have enough money to purchase healthcare after all of their bills are paid 6 you do have the right to live as you please but not to demand people accept it durden claims that living one s life does not require the acceptance of others to which he refers to cross dressing as one of those possible options assuming this is referring to transgender individuals it is not cross dressing if they are wearing clothes that they feel represent their gender but that s besides the point once again he misunderstands the difference between respect and rights any given person can freely insult someone else but even free speech has its restrictions for example if someone says something that presents a clear and present danger that essentially threatens to harm the well being of others it is no longer protected by law with this is in mind i can criticize someone for their ethnicity or gender identity and i would be protected by the law but i would also be an asshole and usually people try to avoid that furthermore it is not as if individuals being attacked or criticized for certain aspects of their lives immediately burst into tears every time someone is rude to them chances are they have experienced this backlash time and time again and while they should certainly not have to this constant exposure has most likely prepared them to face whatever insubstantial insult any given person decides to hurl their way and being open about who you are as a person is certainly not an invitation to be targeted by others 7 the only safe space is your home the concept of a safe space is not some room with padded walls in which people are coddled and protected from hurtful words like being called fat or stupid or ugly but rather a place an office classroom etc in which someone can confide in others without facing violent backlash that they might otherwise receive elsewhere many educational institutions have done this for years i remember even in high school some of our classrooms had little stickers on the doors consisting of some sort of rainbow pattern and the words safe space written on it if anything it was more of a way to let students know that it s okay to be gay or trans or bi without having to specifically verbalize it it was a very tiny symbol of acceptance and some may have found comfort in that however it is understandable why some people do not understand or are vehemently opposed to an environment that attempts to maintain a peaceful atmosphere if someone has never been marginalized for a fixed aspect of their identity it might be difficult to relate to or understand why some people might want a place to go to help them feel accepted for many students universities are a much more accepting environment than their own homes and families and depending on their circumstances they ...
