My heart is broken for the thousands of transgenders serving our armed forces ... and for the thousands of transgender youth in our nation who now have a president who hates them, and is more than willing to cause them untold harm in order for him to pander a bit further to the likes of Franklin Graham and the rest of the hoodwinkers, charlatans, means-spirited, religion-hucksters who crow like idiots over this man and his mindless and self-serving ways.
What's up with this except meanness?
Is this not a threat to our armed forces?
And, now, one-by-one, our transgender service members will be "lined up" and evaluated as to their "deployability"?
And then, to add harm to harm, to stop all medical treatment?
This is just plain mean-spirited ... a policy without purpose ... hurting people because this is what the mean-spirited do.
And that's what we have for a president, a man of mean-spirit, limited intelligence, emotional bankruptcy, and a penchant for bling.
Shame on him ... double, triple, infinite shame ...
And shame on those people standing behind him in Phoenix, with maniacal grins on their faces, cheering the fool on in his narcissism, feeding his bloated ego, loving his lies ... are they not mean-spirited, too?
They are ... and couldn't care less about the pain they inflict because in their own demented way, they feel power, they feel in control, in charge, and what better way to "be in charge," than to crush the life out of another human being.
In a world full of real sorrow, real threats and dangers, to go after the transgender soldier is just meanness ... spite ... and plain bullheadedness ... it proves nothing for good, it accomplishes nothing of value ... and feeds the fires of hell now burning bright and hot.

No One Needs to Speak English
No one needs to speak English to come here.
Soon enough, they'll learn.
And so will their children.
And children's children.
And soon enough the native tongue is forgotten.
Gramma and Grampa still use it.
But no longer the kids.
And no longer the grandkids.
Oh, they learn a few choice phrases:
How to cuss and call someone an asshole.
But it's all English by now.
The native tongue is forgotten.
No one needs to speak English to come here.
Soon enough, they'll learn.
And so will their children.
And children's children.
Soon enough, they'll learn.
And so will their children.
And children's children.
And soon enough the native tongue is forgotten.
