STATEMENT OF THE FLORIDA LGBTQ+ DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRANSGENDER MILITARY ORDER

President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order effectively banning transgender Americans from serving in the military. Kristen Browde, President of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus, issued the following statement:

 “The level of stupidity displayed by Trump’s attack on American heroes, volunteers who defend our nation with strength and competence, is matched only by his apparent ignorance of what it means to be transgender and who it is who is transgender. 

 “Trump seems to think that being Commander in Chief makes the military his personal plaything. It is not. 

 “The move to ban the service of individuals based on their gender is an absurd extension of First Bro Elon Musk’s animosity towards his daughter, who is transgender. Trump should reverse course before he damages our national security by pandering to the ignorant.”
