Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense sent the White House an 11-page memo about the steps it has taken to comply with Donald Trump’s anti-trans executive order, according to a copy of the memo obtained by 404 Media using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Among dozens of other actions, the Pentagon said that it not only changed the signs on bathroom doors to “reflect biological sex” but that it will continue to “monitor intimate spaces to ensure ongoing compliance” and that it will “continuously evaluate and update intimate spaces as necessary.”

That fucking weird american obsession with bathrooms. You guys are weird, get some therapy.
TBF, it’s the conservative Americans that are the problem here. Not all Americans are weird like that.
You guys always say stuff like that; “It’s just a minority, we’re not all crazy racist pieces of shit”, but then most of the americans didn’t give a shit as the us slid into some sort of crazy and racist dictatorship, so I don’t know. Some of you might be good people 🤷
Its a “we’ll see” at this point. Thats our own damn fault.
Or <40% of us anyway. The rest don’t care.
Imagine the mental gymnastics required to decide continuous monitoring of yourself in intimate spaces is more private than the chance a trans person could use a stall in the same bathroom.
This is what shows all their stated justifications are BS. They simply fear and hate trans people and will do whatever it takes to make their lives more difficult. Weird bathroom rules are just a good opportunity to make trans people suffer. All the nonsense about fairness and privacy is just after-the-fact justification.
I know Hesgeth is big on “reviving the warrior ethos”, so apparently warriors need their intimate spaces monitored in order to accomplish that.
We trust them to fight and die on our behalf, but not to pee without pre-approval from the SecDef.
What a bunch of creepy weird people. Always have their noses in business that does not concern them.
Do they earn a deployment ribbon for being on active doodie?
Can’t wait to hear someone being referred to as veteran after being Lavatory Supervising n Officer for the entirety of their “deployment”
Years from now at the VFW:
“I was there at Chili Night back in ‘25. Not a square of Uncle Sam’s one ply to be found. I was down to my last roll myself. Then Johnny from the 7th Battalion comes through the latrine doors, packs of Charmin’ under both arms that he’s taken off an ICE detainee. After my recon to make sure all the platoon was carrying a pair of grenades in their BDUs instead of a foxhole, we handed it out and the men were ready to unleash the fury only US military mess halls can provide. Hoorah!”
Money saving measure?
Every stall is a unisex stall.
Problem solved.
The bathrooms at SEA airport are unisex. They’re great! The toilet stalls are large and totally private. There’s a special urinal area too. I honestly don’t know why more places, especially big public places, aren’t unisex.
So they drew dicks on the doors?
New special duty for low ranking enlisted just dropped.
Why? Just let it go. Why are we wasting resources on this?
Hatred.
My mind goes back to watching Maher interview Megyn Kelly and she was said that trans was her #1 issue. I am still just bowled over by someone of relative prominence saying such a crazy thing, but she is obviously not alone in that.
I find it just…baffling. It’s such a small group, WTAF. All the bathroom bills and the hand-wringing over “men in women’s sports”, JFC.
You’d think trans people made up like 25% of our society rather than like 0.5%.
Glad they’re watching the real danger & not domestic terrorism, election rigging or dismantling of the constitution

Imagine joining the military and being assigned genital checker/fart sniffer…
