Trump's US Military punishes trans soldiers (already approved for early retirement) by denying early retirement so they don't get benefits for serving

[CaughtInThe]

The Commander in Chief of the US Military (in this case the Air Force) and Stephen Miller and that drunk guy will throw a party because these people served in our military proudly and were approved for early retirement (TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO REMOVE ALL TRANS SOLDIERS FROM OUR MILITARY ANYWAY) and now Trump's Military gets to not only dog them but they now get to hurt them financially.

It was never about bathrooms. It's just another era in history where one group hates another group and MUST punish them (like the Irish or blacks or Native Americans, etc).

Now, be prepared for the MAGA couch warriors to know what's best. And I'm sure some "libertarians" here will side with Trump too.



"The move is the latest escalation by President Donald Trump's administration as it seeks to bar transgender individuals from joining the U.S. military and remove all who are currently serving. The Pentagon says transgender individuals are medically unfit, something civil rights activists say is untrue and constitutes illegal discrimination.

...

Multiple service members had already been approved for early retirement, but those approvals were rescinded, advocates say.

...

"It's devastating," said Shannon Minter of the National Center for LGBTQ Rights. "This is just betrayal of a direct commitment made to these service members."

...

The Air Force's decision follows a policy detailed in a May 23 memo, which stated that airmen with 15-18 years of service could request early retirement.

...

Despite ongoing legal challenges, a Supreme Court ruling in May cleared the way for the Pentagon to implement a ban on transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military."

Longer-serving transgender service members will have the same choice as more junior ones: quit or be forced out.

Today's gop is deplorable.

I’d love to see the Trumpists justify this. I wonder if they’ll finally admit they just hate trans people and want them to suffer?

 

[Questerr]

I already said trans servicemembers shouldn’t take the early retirements and instead fight tooth and nail against their removal, forcing the military to waste time, effort, and money if they want them gone, and now I am vehemently behind that idea.

If the military won’t honor their service, they shouldn’t honor the military.

Well, in this case the Air Force said it "made a mistake" approving the early retirements.

They'll probably get away with PUNISHING these military members financially (even though they're trying to rid the military of trans soldiers (who serve honorably I'm sure).

For sure, and they should also sue the administration for being absolute dicks. What a bunch of repugnant asshats.

There is no reason to deny early retirement benefits to these members of our military. Trump is doing it because he can. Because MAGA wants to control others' lives and to punish those with whom they disagree.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service

The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

apnews.com

he U.S. Air Force said Thursday it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits. One Air Force sergeant said he was “betrayed and devastated” by the move.

The move means that transgender service members will now be faced with the choice of either taking a lump-sum separation payment offered to junior troops or be removed from the service.

An Air Force spokesperson told The Associated Press that “although service members with 15 to 18 years of honorable service were permitted to apply for an exception to policy, none of the exceptions to policy were approved.” About a dozen service members had been “prematurely notified” that they would be able to retire before that decision was reversed, according to the spokesperson who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal Air Force policy.

A memo issued Monday announcing the new policy, which was reviewed by the AP, said that the choice to deny retirement benefits was made “after careful consideration of the individual applications.”

All transgender members of the Air Force are being separated from the service under the Trump administration’s policies....

The move comes after the Pentagon was given permission in early May by the Supreme Court to move forward with a ban on all transgender troops serving in the military. Days later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a policy that would offer currently openly serving transgender troops the option to either volunteer to leave and take a large, one-time separation payout or be involuntarily separated at later date.

A Pentagon official told reporters in May that they viewed the policy as treating “anyone impacted by it with dignity and respect.”

However, in late July, transgender troops told Military.com that they were finding the entire separation process, which has included reverting their service records back to their birth gender, “dehumanizing” or “open cruelty.”

Shannon Leary, a lawyer who represents LGBTQ+ people in employment discrimination cases, says she expects lawsuits to challenge Thursday’s decision. “It seems quite arbitrary on its face and cruel,” she said. “These military members have dedicated their lives to serving our country.”

Normally, Leary said, when early retirement is offered in the military, it’s available to all members who have served over 15 years. She said she expects other service branches to follow the Air Force’s path..
