This week, the Secretary of Defense, Ash Carter anounced a change in policy at the Pentagon for transgenders. As was pointed out on an article titled, "Pentagon's Transgender policy defies common sense." posted on the site called, Daily Signal, by Roger Severino, this policy will lead the U.S military into dangerous political pitfalls, for the sake of political correctness, amd is proving to compromise the U.S. readiness for war. Roger Severino writes:
"Some obvious questions arise from the new policy: Will biological males who identify as female be subject to physical fitness requirements for men or women? Will they be required to do 35 pushups or 13 pushups to pass basic training? Will American taxpayers be required to pay for expensive “sex reassignment” surgeries, including breast implants in men and shaving down Adam’s apples when that money can be spent on better weapons or more training? Will service members who have addressed an officer as “sir” for years be booted out of the military if they refuse to address him as “ma’am?” Wouldn’t the loss and impact on recruiting offset any supposed gains of allowing a relatively few transgender troops the ability to dress according to their chosen identity? These are but a few questions Carter neglected to address in his announcement.
Instead, Carter said that:
"Embedded within our Constitution is the very principle that all Americans are free and equal. And we as an Army are sworn to protect and defend that very principle. And we are sworn to even die for that principle. So if we in uniform are willing to die for that principle then we in uniform should be willing to live by that principle."
This is too much.
First, it doesn’t violate equality to recognize relevant biological realities and there is nothing in the text, structure, or history of the Constitution that elevates transgender people to a protected class akin to race.
Second, whatever one thinks of the latest Supreme Court redefinition of marriage, it did not redefine what it means to be a man and a woman for all Americans, especially in the military context..On Thursday, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced that the U.S. military is dropping its policy of treating male and female troops according to their biology—to be replaced by a policy based on a radical new gender ideology.
This change was not precipitated by military needs but by political correctness. After all, the military is not stretched so thin that it must make special accommodations to help attract the estimated 0.6 percent of Americans who self-identify as transgender in order to effectively fight and win our wars.
Moreover, people with gender dysphoria are allowed to serve, and many have served honorably, so long as their condition or treatments do not interfere with combat readiness.
What the military did not allow before today was the disruption to morale, privacy, and readiness that results from a male serviceman demanding the “right” to dress as a female, have others address him as a female, and be granted unfettered access to showers, lockers, bathrooms, and barracks designated for females. That commonsense policy, which has served our country well, was jettisoned today.

WITH THESE SWEEPING NEW ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAWS, WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY ARE THEY MAKING?
They are moving towards a society where every person is allowed to choose their own lifestyle in a world governed by laws that are increasingly set to relativism and extreme liberalism. They are now creating a society where any boy or girl, man or woman, can choose their own gender, fully supported by their Government, which can pay for a gender-changing operation from tax-payers money. The Obama government ordered all hospitals to provide for gender-changing surgeries. Also, Mr. Obama sent a letter on May 13th, 2016, that all schools had to open up all school toilets, changing rooms, sport's facilities, sport's teams and overnight accomadations for both sexes or else risk being cut off from Government sponsored education programs.
HISTORY WILL SHOW MESSRS OBAMA AND CAMERON AND OTHER SUPPORTERS OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE AS BEING DECEIVED INTO THINKING THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN GO AGAINST NATURE AND THE NATURAL ORDER.
What this government program is doing is something which history will condemn them for doing: they are actually encouraging a form of mental illness, or something which should be at least discouraged, and at the most, defined as a form of mental illness, when it is governments role to discourage transgenderism when it has such a detrimental effect on society at large, in spite of the fact that it accomadates into law 0.6 percent of society! May I say that, as a Christian, I love all LGBT members but I hatecwhat they do.
But the U.S. and the U.K. are creating societies where any boy can choose to be a girl (and vise versa), without even undergoing gender-changing surgery, and can ask his teacher to allow him to shower with the girls! It means where transgender's rights take priority over children's and women's privacy as well as safety rights. Thry are creating societies and educations where children think that their gender is fluid and that they can overule nature; in other words, where children are being taught in education programs such as sponsored by the Brighton City Council in England, which teach children that what is between your ears determines your gender rather than what is between your legs.

Due to the LGBT agenda and political-correctness Our Society is becoming Warped
Now that this legislation has come into law, children are being taught the virtues of transgender relationships and even there was the shocking case of a Anglican Elementary School announcing that it will have a Transgender Day in its School calendar. The link for thst case is: http://anglicanmainstream.org/parents-pull-children-out-of-primary-school-in-outrage-at-planned-transgender-day-for-children-as-young-as-four/
All these occurrences shows we are now living in a warped society and it is only going to get even more warped. The next under 0.1% section of our society to demand that the state gives them the same provision in law for marriage will be the polygamists as well as those who want to marry their daughter or sons, their mother, their father, their sister, their brother, or those who want to marry their pets. For our Prime Minister has laid the way for such provisions when he heralded his same-sex legislation with the words:
“Where there is love and commitment, then that’s all that you need for marriage.”
They have created a society where the defining ingredient of a marriage is love, no matter what gender, allowing same-sex genders to get married, which is detrimental to the stability of our society - for everyone knows that if everybody followed the same-sex way, it would mean the end of the world; for there would be no more procreation, because same-sex couples can't make babies! And that's the reason that same-sex relations have been traditionally outlawed by our society because it is the first mandate of every Government to ensure that the sex-gene pool is safeguarded, for posterity and our children's future. Yet now we have reached the stage where 23 nations of the world as well as the U.N. and the European Union are supporting the public celebration of same-sex and LGBT rights all in the name of Civil rights. In spite of this, still 76 nations of the world outlaw same-sex marriage.
In the U.K., the law to allow same-sex marriage was passed in 2014, and the first ceremonies were not allowed until the following year. Britain was the 15th country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2014 and the U.S. changed their own law in 2015, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a ruling of five judges to four, interpreting the fourteenth Ammendment of equality of all citizens to include same-sex marriage provisions. However, if you read and interpret the American Constitution and its Fourteenth Ammendment as it was written, originally, it is obvious that the Founding Fathers Writers would have not ever sanctioned the concept of equality to include same-sex marriage. In regard to the much older British law, legally in Britain and Wales, a Judge can annul any and every same-sex marriage because, according to British law, a marriage is only given legal status when it is consumated, which in the case of same-sex couples, is impossible; therefore, legally and biologically, as well as according to both Christian's and Judaism's teaching, same-sex marriage is outlawed. And it is the height of political correctness to allow it into law.
We are told that these so called human rights are part of the Civil right's movement, opening up the way for every other sub-culture to appear from their secretive lifestyles to demand the same rights and be fully accepted into society; who also tell us that they are following the Civil right's movement; when same-sex legislation was rushed through two houses of parlaliment in my country, David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the U.K, . hailed it with the words, "Where there is love and commitment, that's all you need for marriage." Thus, if according to him, the defining ingredient of marriage is love, then what is stopping the poligamists, the multi-partnered and even such groups as those who advocate sexual activity and marriage with animals demand their rights, too. (even from the 9th June, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in a 7 to 1 judge's ruling that their beastality laws were defined as only full sexual penetration).
All these people and groups are claiming that they are part of the Civil right's movement, but it is obvious that attaching the label "Civil rights movement" to every sub-culture of the LGBT movement is dangerous, because giving a black man his Civil rights is natural but giving a man the right to choose his own gender just by personal choice, when every 70 trillion cell in his body is embedded with thousands of XY chromozones, is unnatural and is a form of mental illness, and should not be confused with the Civil rights movement.
