The last thing this country needs is for the military to become politicized into the pronoun police, but unfortunately, that is currently the status quo.

According to The Daily Caller:

The military could seek to formally punish service members for refusing to use another service member’s preferred pronouns under existing policy, according to military experts.

A 2020 Equal Opportunity law opened the door for commanders to subject someone who refuses to affirm a transgender servicemember’s so-called gender identity to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for charges related to harassment, Capt. Thomas Wheatley, an assistant professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Such a move would likely infringe on a servicemember’s constitutional rights to uphold their conscience, but it might not prevent leaders from employing more subtle ways of disciplining service members.

I am pretty sure the government can't mandate that someone say something against their religious beliefs. I am also pretty sure compelled speech is unconstitutional. And I am also pretty sure that it’s not a good idea to have people in the military whose reality is so fragile that others must acquiesce to their delusion. But it’s 2024, and so long are the days of sanity and American excellence.

The military “is right to want to protect the rights and welfare of its transgender service members. But it owes the same protection to those who share a different perspective on the issue, especially when that perspective is a deep-seated expression of personal conscience,” Capt. Thomas Wheatley told the DCNF.

I am going to disagree with that one. There is no such thing as “trans right.” Because as Wheatley has already stated, once you add a separate category of rights for trans people, you cannot do so without infringing on others' rights. So I don't think the military has any obligation to protect the "welfare of its transgender service members." What does that even mean? If your welfare is so fragile that service members must hold your hand, maybe you should not be in the military.

None of the military’s rules explicitly prohibit so-called “misgendering,” when someone uses pronouns to describe a transgender person which do not correspond to the person’s new gender identity, Wheatley explained. However, existing guidance implies that using pronouns rejected by another person violates Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) regulations against sex-based harassment and discrimination.

You cannot have leftist "equality" without imposing on the rights of everyone else. And how is this considered "sex-based harassment" when sex and gender are two different things and pronouns are allegedly about gender? None of this makes sense.

If any of this were based on truth, no one would be forced to reluctantly affirm someone's incomprehensible feelings. But it's not based on reality, which is why military members might be punished for standing by the actual truth and not they/thems truth.

All that said, I don't think this will do much of anything to assist in the abysmal recruitment numbers but I digress.
