In other words, Pete Hegseth introduces mandatory gender-affirming tests as part of servicemember health evaluations.
I just can’t. No one ever suspected that there were a group of people who could be so fucking brain dead and stupid that it would become some sort of superpower. Like the dumbest most inept motherfuckers. MAGA are pedophiles accomplices and idiots of the highest order.
I thought Idiocracy was supposed to be a movie
I fucking hate this comparison.
The government in Idiocracy actually tried. They were just idiots. The bad guy in that movie is stupidity.
When these comparisons started that wasn't even a fair comparison. And I mean like, it was common enough when W. was still in office, among the like 10 people who had seen it by that time.
We have actively malicious state actors who love that you're so willing to believe they're only stupid.
Also Mike Judge is terrified of poor people.
Care to clue in those of us who aren't celebrity watchers, and know nothing about Mike Judge?
Mike Judge is the creative mind behind Idiocracy, king of the hill, and office space. A core theme behind the first two is "poor people are stupid and crazy."
It's been a LONG time since I watched either of them, so I'll have to rewatch some with that perspective in mind. Seems a bit exaggerated to me, but I suppose it's possible. Thanks for explaining.
The problem with fucking idiots is that they’re always fucking other fucking idiots and creating more fucken fucking idiots!
They are rabbits. Incredibly stupid rabbits
~~Forcing~~ Heavily recommending gender affirming care.
All these old MAGAts and fuckfaces take testosterone supplements so fucken much. The old owner of the company I work at was one of these dudes. Its all about being s teenager forever.
That sounds like gender affirming care. They should practice what they preach.
Genuinely, it is gender affirming care. It's replacing sex hormones their body won't produce naturally, to counteract effects that are existentially devastating to their psyche.
They don't wanna say that low-T as an older man feels like gender dysphoria. But have a conversation with a trans guy and an old man about testosterone levels and masculinity and self-image, and you'll have almost the exact same complaint. "I just want to feel like the man I know I am inside."
They will stare deadpanned directly into your eyes and tell you its somehow not.
I don't see it that way. I see it as age denying care. They still want to be the "studs" they (thought) they were in high school. They're the same guys who wax nostalgically about their "glory days" when they were on the football team and how they "led the team to win the regionals" and they "coulda gone pro" but one of "those people" stole their scholarship.
Did they score 4 touchdowns in one game?
I'd much rather they were all shoe salesmen instead of running the Pentagon.

How the fuck is this not The Onion
My thoughts exactly. What next? Witch swimming?
Probably. Like, seriously.
This alcoholic power bottom wants to make sure all the men around him are as "manly" as possible.
He seems to be obsessed with the purity of bodily fluids, just like Jack D. Ripper. Even looks a little like him.
You have to protect yourself that's why I only drink grain alcohol and rainwater.
You ever see a Russky drink tapwater, Mandrake?
Why would this matter other than Hegseth wanting to have gay orgies?
This guy has a micropenis, doesn't he?
Absolutely 1,000% without a doubt a 2.5in erect peen.
Yes, let’s also pump them full of methamphetamine and we’ll create good little Sturmtruppens to do the füeher’s bidding.
They already do for special forces.
Prioritizing testosterone makes a lot of sense when you’re an anthropomorphic scrotum.
Walking right up to the line of mandatoring "gender hormone therapy"...
While the screenings will be mandatory for eligible service members, Hegseth said that any resulting treatment would remain voluntary. "If treatment is recommended, it's entirely your choice to receive testosterone replacement therapy," he said.
Pete KegSith is a pussy and a moron. His wife would have to piss into the cup for him to pass the test.
Antivax is okay but they gotta give up blood to appease their master.
Bro loves manly men.
...this is the onion, right? ..right?
Seriously thought it was The Onion
"Exclusive: Secretary of War, Pete Kegsbreath, has decreed that he will personally test the virility of our combat troops by physical examination."
Assuming he's just asking for personal donations
Is this to get rid of the women? *Or maybe to make the older soldiers "look better"?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that the Pentagon will begin requiring annual testosterone deficiency screenings for active-duty service members age 30 and older, saying the move is designed to improve military readiness and support long-term health.
While the screenings will be mandatory for eligible service members, Hegseth said that any resulting treatment would remain voluntary. "If treatment is recommended, it's entirely your choice to receive testosterone replacement therapy," he said.
I don't know, but "testosterone replacement therapy" is most certainly gender-affirming care. But since they're not forcing it, I assume this is to institutionalize the bullying and harassment of men the testosterone-addled meatheads don't consider manly enough or women they consider too manly. And we can expect that to include routinely accusing those without the "right" amount of testosterone of being transgender and kicking them out of the military.
