Military Says It Will Continuously Monitor Bathrooms to Comply With Anti-Trans Order
https://www.404media.co/pentagon-says-it-will-continuously-monitor-bathrooms-to-comply-with-anti-trans-order/
Pete Hegseths Department of Defense sent the White House an 11-page memo about the steps it has taken to comply with Donald Trumps 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.

(72,599 posts)I know, I am deeply ashamed to be an American right now.
I know some immigrants - there is simply no justification for what they are being put through.....and anyone who SUPPORTS this nazi bullshit should be ASHAMED.

(72,599 posts)I have some immigrant neighbors.
I used to walk with them for exercise and go out to lunch for fun.
They no longer show their faces outside.
They won't even answer my texts.
They are too afraid.
I also know a naturalized US citizen, she has been here since she was a toddler.
The state dept won't renew her passport with one excuse after another.
This is a person with an unblemished record and works in healthcare.
Now she is not allowed to travel outside the country.

(8,032 posts)...but the U.S. military (the Air Force, at least) has literally been watching people in the bathrooms for decades during drug testing.
It's completely demeaning - stall door has to be open, and someone has to actually watch them pee into the cup for the test, then take the cup from them.

(72,599 posts)100% I support drug testing the troops.
Do you want to be the aircrew on a bomber or fighter jet with the pilot high on drugs?
Do you want the officers in charge of the nuclear arsenal to be drunk all the time?
If you are out on the combat field and the guy next to you who is supposed to have
your back and save your life is passed out due to drug usage?
If people don't want to follow rules which saves their lives they need to find
another line of work that is not so taxing.

(8,032 posts)They absolutely need to do it; for me, it was more the way they did it. Every place else manages to take urine samples without having someone literally standing 3 feet from you, watching you pee into a cup.
For me personally, being the watchee wasn't as bad as being tagged to be the watcher.

(126,114 posts)in the bathrooms at all military installations? What if a superior officer refuses to display his/her junk to Cpl. Groinguard? Can the crotch monitor require him/her to obey? Or will there be cameras everywhere, including in the stalls and focused at groin level, while somewhere there are banks of computer screens that people are watching for signs of nonconforming genitalia? What if someone has had gender reassignment surgery; will they be examined more closely for tell-tale scars? Will Crotch Monitor appear on their DD-214 forms when the people assigned to this duty leave military service?
