Military Rejection

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] This transgender celebrity is thinking of pulling a publicity stunt to protest the new order about transgender military members.

She wants to take cameras down to a local [military] recruiting office and tell them that she wants to join the military and then film a public confrontation when the recruiter rejects her.

It is not clear whether this would be used for some type of formal TV show or opposition campaign, or if it just for the celebrity’s own social media.

    Probably Laverne Cox because we know Caitlyn Jenner is no advocate.

    If she takes the cameras to Trump or any Trump family member, I’m for it. Trying to film a local office where the people had no say in this is just harmful to the message and hurtful to the cause and those working there.

  2. NoseyNana2008 says

    Well, it can’t be Caitlyn. Despite her transgender status, the military does have an age cut off and she’s way past it.

    • NativeAtlantaGirl says

      But remember, Jenner was suggesting adoption a while back… Then it waz about butt implants. Tweet yesterday to Trump like Trump cared? All Jenner wants is to be in the news. Will probably announce running for office next… SMH

    • Catfink says

      AtlantaGirl, you did NOT lie. I honestly think this is Caitlyn. Par for the course when you have a former Kardashian, and you can take Jenner out of the Kardashians but their attention seeking tactics will never get taken out of Jenner.

  4. Baileygirl says

    I would say this is Caitlyn Jenner.
    I think the decision was made because of the costs associated with giving transgenders their monthly hormones. I just heard that the military doesn’t pay for sex re-assignment surgery, so that would not be an issue. I thought they had paid for Chelsea Manning’s surgery, but was that a special case? The military should not to be used for social engineering. A big Thank You! to all who have served!. I hope there can be some debate on this issue.

    • gludream says

      According to the news stories the Generals didn’t ask for or want this ban-this isn’t about cost or effectiveness it’s him lashing out and punishing when he doesn’t get his way. Most people who are transgender before they enter the military are probably there because they have specialized training that’s not easily replaced

    • Catfink says

      Actually, it’s an attempt to deflect from his continued attacks on Jeff Sessions, He REALLY wants to win back conservatives and he’s doing it to discriminate against the LGBT. The fact is, the LGBT will never be truly accepted by Conservatives. Minorities need to stop propping these people up and trying to give them any kind of legitimacy.

    • carmen sanjacinto says

      The sad fact is that the US military currently pays far more per month on Viagra and other erectile dysfunction treatments than it does (or conceivably ever could) for all transgender-specific medical costs. Like gludream says, actual military leaders never asked for this and weren’t consulted about it, it’s purely Trump pandering to his fans. The more he lashes out at the people they fear and dislike, they happier they are with him; the happier they are with him, the more he lashes out.

    • element47 says

      Just an fyi, my ftm son’s testosterone is 5 bucks a month. A trans friend of mine pays around the same for her estrogen patches. So that’s not it.
      Social engineering? Nope, more like distraction from everything else…Russia, perhaps? Maybe throwing some red meat to the 12 ppl who still believe this guy’s nonsense? I swear, people!

    • javajolted says

      $5 per month for TRT? Must have really good insurance. I need it for a tumor and it’s over $450 per month. One thing to watch out for – the insurance company may have a pharmacy cap. It’s $5 now but once the retail exclusion (?) amount is reached, they’ll start charging full price. Talk to your insurer first so you don’t have to stop treatment bc of the cost.
      Not Caitlyn Jenner, she’s too old.

    • NativeAtlantaGirl says

      Not that I keep up with him, but hasn’t Chaz pretty much disappeared into a very private life?

    • NoseyNana2008 says

      “The maximum age for Army enlisted recruits is 35, while the Navy and Marines cap recruit ages at 34 and 28, respectively. Under federal law, the oldest recruit any military branch can enlist is 42, although each service sets its own policy within that limit.”
      Apparently, Laverne Cox is too old too; she’s 45.

  8. tellmemore says

    If this is Caitlyn Jenner, it’s the stupidest idea ever. They don’t need to reject her for being transgender; they’d reject her because she’s about 30 years too old.

  11. amagod121 says

    God, Caitlyn, you are much too old to join! You will rejected for that point perhaps without your transgender issue even being known, unless you push it in everybody’s face.

    I think the new military rule is to keep the idea of questioning your basic identity out of the military. And the reason for that is because your entire focus in the military should be on listening to orders, following orders and fighting the enemy.

    • StelioKontos says

      Trans people are not questioning their basic identity, they know who they are, transgender. They are perfectly capable of focusing on all those things.

    • Cuddlebutt says

      Agreed. Military is not pc, nor should it be. Completely different focuses. I’m all for gay marriage, gays in the military, but I am not sure about transgenders there. Possibly, with correct vetting and a case by case basis. But I don’t want to pay for reassignment surgery just like I don’t want to pay for someone else’s abortion or plastic surgery.

    • algarve2016 says

      But, as you know, that’s not realistic. I worked in the military community for 14 years and I can vividly remember standing at the acute care window and having to go around to go inside the medic’s station to get their attention away from youtube so that they could attend to a patient! Of course, my first day at work, one of the docs came through a crowd with a wheelchair shouting, “Emergency Patient!” There was a waffle sale going on and he had lots of plates on the seat!

  12. rokkogirl says

    Please, CJ — so thirsty! You’re too old, so there’s no “statement” to be made by trying to sign up.

  13. Nachumama says

    Isn’t Jenner and ru-paul over the age limit to join the military? I don’t know any other transgender celibrity…

    • wfreshie says

      Ru Paul is a cross dresser (drag queen) he doesn’t want to change his sex…transgender means the wiring in the brain tells them they are the opposite sex then what they see on themselves

  14. My2Brows says

    This stunt is a terrible idea and turns this situation into all about her. There are much better ways to express opposition to this turn of events.

  16. algarve2016 says

    Kaitlyn Jenner.

    This new rule (reinstatement of an old rule) will hurt our military. There are plenty of trans people in the military, but they didn’t say anything. Now that some people actually believed the T-bird’s statements and outed themselves, their military careers are toast. Who are we to say that we don’t need their loyalty, bravery, intelligence, and patriotism? It’s in such huge supply that we can throw that away? This is about not wanting them to get free surgery on…

  17. Neduardo says

    Well I hope that this is not Caitlyn Jenner. It would be a little hypocritical of her given that she was pro Trump before the election.

    Hopefully it is Laverne Cox.

    Obviously it would hurt the military. I would think that it would be wise for any country to welcome anyone into the armed forces who is physically fit and willing to serve.

  18. I Am PunkA says

    No idea

    It won’t hurt the military at all. Will help. Most types of guys joining don’t want to be bothered by social causes.

    • butwhatever says

      Being trans does not equal carrying on some kind of campaign to change society.

      Definitely Caitlyn Jenner. Be serious, girl. Get a seaweed wrap or something to cleanse the Kardashian from your pores.

  20. pricey524 says

    What would this even prove? The recruitment officer might be just fine with a transgender entering the military but said recruitment officer also knows that it is not his/her call.

    Can everyone just stop? Republicans dealt with nonsense for eight years. Democorats now for at least four…it’s cyclical!

  22. jonty30 says

    Half of all transgenders will attempt suicide sometime in their lives. The activists want to give guns to a population where half will attempt to take their lives?

  25. annabelle77 says

    Oh, please! This sounds like a Caitlin Jenner stunt. Give me a break. I used to like Bruce Jenner, I thought he was the only person in that family with common sense and decent values. Caitlin is the real Bruce-a shallow, selfish narcissistic attention hound. What a disappointment.

  26. SolanaStar81 says

    This is Caitlin Jenner. She would pull formal, I think.

    I think it’s too much complicating assimilate the transgender. Like you or not, people on gender re-assignment because birth defections, such malformed genitalia, or even on DNA level of stuff, live a normal like without be targeted as “transgender”. The problem is the excuse fake trans to avoid hard time such solitaire prison while on military, like faking a lot to get relief of duty. Just saying.

  27. sunshine702 says

    Laverne Cox?

    I think it will help. I think that is up to the individual to handle that when and if ready. I don’t that that is the Military’s business to pay for.

  29. BobNYC says

    If this is Caitlyn Jenner – she needs to apologize to the entire trans community – in fact she should apologize to all of America because she helped get this * elected.

  30. spoofbyrd says

    RUPaul. I am not a Thumper but this Transgenderism seems like a fad thing whereas people are bored and want to do something hip and rebellious. The bigger issue is how Trump turns on people like Sessions . Am also seeing the True believers calling out Trump over the phony Evangelists praying for him in his office. Dangerous Times right now but PC Extremists, the LGBT, and Hollyweird brought it on themselves. If Kid Rock gets elected Senator then USA is finished !

  31. mpizzle says

    Celebrity – probably Laverne Cox

    The publicity stunt part sounds very Caitlin Jenner but she doesn’t have the balls (no pun intended :/ )

  35. 4girls4 says

    Laverne (sp) Cox
    People who want to trans have emotional issues. Those issues must be addressed .. Bruce is an example of some one who still seems in need of therapy. I don’t think someone with this type of identity crisis is a good candidate for the violence we see in combat. And are some joining just for the medical benefits to pay for the transition?

  36. up2trouble says

    I would have gone for Bruce but he is too old anyway to join. I’m guessing Laverne Cox.

  37. Insiderher says

    This just won’t happen. There are many thousands of trans US soldiers now. Are they gonna kick them out? ?️‍? military is vast & wont let this happen.
    No clue on the celeb.

    • SolanaStar81 says

      There is not such thing as “many thousand” trans on military. The trans community in US is minimal-and kick out one or two won’t make any diference.

  38. wendybar says

    Bruce, I mean Caitlin Jenner is too old. When the Military starts taking others who are on prescription drugs daily, then I will agree with the transgender community…until then…unless they are fully changed, and not on prescription drugs…they should stay out. We can’t afford their lifestyle changes.

  39. Dyxienormus says

    If this is Caitlyn Jenner she’s got another thing coming because it’s her age that’ll disqualify her… dumb imo won’t hurt or help its irrelevant and attention grabbing behavior

  41. High Steppa says

    Laverne Cox for my guess. And no, these stunts often backfire. Ask Kathy Griffin. As for the rule, I am on the fence. I see both sides so I need to do more research on it.

  42. exit81 says

    Jenner
    It only hurts the military. There are already thousands of transgender soldiers serving. And the military spends more on erectile dysfunction drugs (by several millions) than it does on transgender medications and surgeries. I’d rather my tax dollars cover that than erectile dysfunction. Let those that want to serve, serve.

    • scumby says

      we have a parrot spouting leftist media matter lies Hurts the military? No, this silly rules was only started last year by Obama. The military is no place for a handful of mentally ill people. 99.999999% of the troops agree with the ban.

  45. ChezKK says

    The I am Jazz girl? Kaitlyn laverne and chaz are too old, i thought 35 was the cutoff for govt jobs..

  47. JudgeJudi says

    Calm down. There’s a lot more process involved in changing and implementing this kind of policy change. A lot. A tweet doesn’t make it so.

  48. TwistedSweetness says

    I don’t know who it could be as I don’t know of any famous transgender people that are under the age and weight limit to be in the military. They’d look like a fool if it is CJ, Laverne Cox, or Chaz.

  50. SpikeNLB says

    Good gawd, this is not a policy, it was a social media tweet.

    Whoever this trans person is, is just trying to make this ALL ABOUT THEM…..

    Show up to a recruiting office and record a military recruiter who has absolutely nothing to do with trump tweets…and the projection that he/she would refuse to enlist this narcissistic clown, just so embarrassing for the LGBT community!

  51. Spunkboy says

    On a side note I’ve never understood why gender dysphoria has become part of the gay and lesbian cause. Being gay is quite far from the psychiatric/psychological aspect of gender dysphoria, and as the fight for gay rights is far from over I would imagine it’s actually hurting more than helping. ..

  53. JayneDoe says

    Doubt it is Jenner because of age. But speaking of that why isn’t there outrage about the age restrictions? Seems there are probably a lot more “older” people who would like to serve rather than transgender people.

    It’s all just a bunch of politically correct BS to try to show how sympathetic we are to those who are different. If you want me to accept you as the same please stop pointing out how different you are!

  54. luthien3000 says

    Has Caitlyn Jenner had bottom surgery yet? Also, is this person a mainstream celeb? YouTube celeb? What kind of celeb? If mainstream, not a lot of options.

  56. Turbo65 says

    Who in the Sam Hill is Caitlyn Jenner??..it’s
    BRUCE JENNER folks cause before he took his first breathe in this world..DNA had paid him a visit..end of story.
