Mayor Nirenberg: Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in military ‘totally offensive’

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who testified against Texas’ “bathroom bill” earlier this month, said he thought President Trump’s new ban on transgender people serving in the military is “totally offensive.”

“It’s certainly discriminatory. I question its constitutionality. The notion that one’s gender is in any way connected to patriotism and service to the country is totally offensive,” Nirenberg said.

The president announced that the government would not longer “accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military.”

Here is more proof that our new Mayor Nirenberg does not understand or comprehend the mission and purpose of the military. It seems he thinks the military should be a test tube for disorder and confusion.

The military requires people who are fit in mind and body to proficiently serve and protect our country as a unified entity. Gender dysphoria can seriously affect a service member’s ability to perform his duty. It has been documented that gender dysphoria causes anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

The military will be stronger when it focuses on security, not sex changes.
