When you finally realize Republicans don't care about transgender rights or women's rights and only use one in order to attack the other ...

My question is ... why were those Clubs established in the first place.
As background, I have visited ~Black~ bars and night clubs. I wanted to see what it would be like. A White person walking into a Black establishment.
I was welcomed, and the conversations were free-flowing, and honest.
Eventually, I always got down to one question ... why come to this place instead of other places?
The answer was always along the lines of, ~because i don't have to deal with the hatred.~
So, yeah, West Point may be closing down those Clubs, but what is West Point going to do about the reason those Clubs existed?

Why do any clubs exist?
It's a space for people who have something in common to be able to find one another.
Unless these clubs were excluding others - like white conservatives do when they have clubs - I don't see the problem.

I'm sure the "Blacks for *****" are happy about this.

I've been with several organizations who have had diversity clubs. What I've been waiting for are the clubs called, "How we are all alike", "What can we do to help each other no matter what our background is", "Lend a helping hand to anyone based on nothing".
But, instead, we continue to create clubs born from discrimination. Quite pathetic in a country built on the ideals of freedom and equality. You would think our country would be focusing on that.
In other words, if you have an entity (erase your brain of everything political) and you get these readings point:
1. This entity believes in equality and freedom 2. This entity forces people to create groups that focus on specific attributes, and in some of those groups people with other attributes are not allowed.
If you don't think those two things are contradictory, you may need to attend classes to sharpen your brain a little.

The women and LGTBQ 2nd lieutenants will be ditching their US Military "careers" as soon as their service obligation is done. Soon the officer corps will be White and male again. What the hell is wrong with us?

A certain segment of the white population is running scared about becoming the minority race in this country which is projected to happen in 18 years. The Cis het white male specifically the most. That's what I think anyways. They are desperate to hold onto power.

They'll find a way to stop enrolling those students.

Desperate rewriting and revocation of growth leads to resentment.
This speaks to inclusion and cooperation having no place other than outlined doctrinal practice.
The worrisome power that a transgendered wield against military readiness must be prevented.
Also, the Robotics Club seems too eager to help amputees..
