Biden Pentagon Orders Military Chaplains To Bless Putting Male Soldiers In Female Showers And Bedrooms

While the nation is concerned about serious threats to national security, including Chinese spy planes, the U.S. Department of Defense seems preoccupied with misplaced priorities. “Woke” Policies encourage leftist ideology to the extremes and force compliance even if it is detrimental to the institution.

The Defense Department has significantly increased the number of transgender mandates it enforces since January 2021. An extensive policy analysis entitled “Biden Pentagon Expands Transgender Policy in Military” summarized HereCompare Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin Directives to the Barack Obama’s and Ashton Carter’s 2016 transgender policies.

The Biden/Austin policy, like the Obama years embraces the notion that individuals can make changes to their lives. “sex assigned at birth to a different gender role.” Department of Defense Instruction 13020.28, revised Dec. 20, 2022.

Biden’s regulations do not protect or even mention rights of religious liberty for chaplains and people of faith. Nor do they provide options for doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel who object to transgender ideology on moral or ethical grounds.

Once a military doctor approves, transgender transition can be deemed “complete” with or without surgical alteration of healthy body parts.
