Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Here's my uneducated conspiracy-focused take on why the military would want mandatory HRT:
My most pessimistic prediction is that they're hoping the outcome of this to include increased rates of violence stateside, high levels of pregnant sexual assault victims, soldiers who want to stay in the military because they have so much more energy while enlisted, retired military-turned-cops who are more likely to shoot minorities, increased post-military ICE applicants for better-trained forces, voters who don't know why they hate everyone who isn't themselves and will irrationally vote for anyone who calls minorities "scum," and fulfill their strange obsession with sexy/manly looking men cum gutters and all.
I also think that if they actually follow through with military-required HRT, pulmonary embolisms and prostate cancer would become the symptoms this generation's Agent Orange.
I think Hegseth's just a little bitch who heard a commercial for a testosterone clinic that made him feel emasculated and decided to project that feeling onto the entire military.
That's way more likely. I'm not sure if I made it clear in my comment, but these weren't my best thoughts. This was me kinda seeing how tightly I could wrap the foil around my brain, because the proposal itself is so blindingly stupid.
