Regardless of how many years they have served, trans troops would be given a special medical discharge that declares them unfit, insiders told The Times.

Not only is this incredibly hateful, but also incredibly stupid (see below), but it's also incredibly hilarious that the only apparent way for him to do so is to issue medical discharges - which means they're eligible for military benefits such as GI Bill, the VA, and disability compensation. I hope someone fights this both to rule it unconstitional, but also to see if they can disability payments while still having this "medical issue".

One source told the newspaper: ‘These people will be forced out at a time when the military can’t recruit enough people.

Jesus christ, what about hateful idiot.
