.@RonDeSantis on⁣ transgenderism:⁤ “In​ the‌ military,⁣ it’s‍ all ‌about ‍the⁣ mission ⁣first…People’s ‍individuality….you do have‌ to ⁤check that ⁢at the door…What role⁢ does ‌someone that’s a‍ man have in​ women’s⁢ activities?…I‍ thin it’s wrong to‍ have men⁢ compete in women’s sports” pic.twitter.com/gmaAs8yPjK

DeSantis firmly ‍believes ⁤that ⁢the military’s ‍focus‌ should be ⁣on ⁤the mission at ⁢hand,‌ leaving⁤ personal ⁣individuality at‌ the door. ⁣He acknowledges‌ that ⁤the military culture is​ unique ‍in ‍this regard.‌ Furthermore, ​he‍ raises‌ concerns ⁣about​ men participating in women’s​ activities,​ such ‍as​ sports, and ‍the impact​ it ‌has on ⁤fair ‍competition ⁢for female‍ athletes.

DeSantis⁢ also‍ criticizes institutions ⁤that force⁢ girls to ‌share⁢ locker ‍rooms​ with men who ​identify⁤ as women. ‍He argues⁣ that ‍accommodating a very ‍small ‍percentage​ of ⁤the​ population should not ‌disrupt society as a⁤ whole.

Speaking in South Carolina,​ DeSantis emphasized the ‌need to ‌restore⁢ the military’s⁤ core ‌mission ⁢and⁢ remove the influence​ of a‍ political agenda. He ​believes that instilling confidence, ​conviction,⁢ and‌ patriotic duty in⁤ our institutions starts‌ with ‍revitalizing⁣ our military.
