Sorry for my strong opinions it’s simply give him what I went through and being suspected of what I was he making a direct action in the guise of progression (that is a form of domestic terrorism with his intentions) is not OK with me thank you

Why make this any kind of priority now? Was this to let off some steam?

I’m concerned that he passed a bill that is at this time completely irrelevant to put transgender people in the army basically to get rid of them because he knows that They (I hope this pronoun isnt offensive) will want to prove them self as he will knows they will be devoured

But I don't like biden and I believe he is just so full of something that he is just reversing everything trump did out of spite? I mean he's talking about making new jobs yet he put over 40000 people out of work already

That makes sense! Let’s send someone to war that can’t decide if they are supposed to sit or stand to pee! Hmmmm I hope they bring more that just their words and call of duty experience.

If a person is brave enough to protect my freedoms,I could care less what gender they are !

Let’s get more vaccinations!!!! Use the government to assist! That should be top priority!

The Pandering Politician strikes again.

It takes a special kind of scumbag to say “you are not good enough to go fight and potentially die to protect me”

It really is that simple.

Are diabetics allowed now?

Khakis and high heels

I tried. Then I got gang raped.

Trans people could serve. Trump just made it where we aren’t paying for sex change surgeries. Only think Biden did is make sure Americans pay for these surgeries. Stop lying a holes.

The president was sworn in with one hundred and twenty eight years old families bible, my question is did ever read the bible to know what was written in the bible, or the pope is looking other way, America doomsday is near.

What a great statement!!!!! A qualifying phrase

So, would they have special toilets or would they be using the female ones?! Male ones?! Sleeping in a special dorm. or with the females, males?!

How about pervert like POTUS who likes little girls can they serv in military?

Good on JoeBiden If you are willing to serve your country, gender identity should not be a barrier.
