Yesterday, Donald Trump announced on Twitter that trans folks would no longer be allowed to join the military. Granted, it came out later that there was nothing actually in the works for this and that those trans who currently serve would not be kicked out, but that didn’t stop Lady Gaga from going ‘gaga’ over his tweets.
. @POTUS Sincerely, did you know of the group you singled out today, 45% of them ages (18 to 24) have attempted suicide already?

Did Lady Gaga know that being mentally ill (which someone who has attempted suicide traditionally is) automatically disqualifies them from the military?

Oopsie gaga.
So it's better if they do it in a foxhole?

So basically Lady Gaga just solidified WHY Trump is right to ban trans from the military.
Suicide attempts are a disqualification to enter the military for anybody. Trans or not. You're not very bright are you?

Yup.
So, you're saying they're a ticking time bomb and liability, but we should ignore all that and let them into the military anyway?#EpicFail
