Reports that President-elect Donald Trump may reintroduce policies to address gender confusion in the U.S. military have sparked pushback the woke left.
While Trump’s team has clarified that no decision has yet been made, the discussion highlights a critical need to return to clarity on gender issues in society.
The Family First Party welcomes the attention this brings to the harms caused by radical LGBTIQA+ activism, particularly to children who look up to military role models.
For too long, false narratives about gender have infiltrated our institutions, leaving young people confused and vulnerable.
The military, a pillar of discipline and cohesion, should not be a battleground for social experiments driven by ideology rather than evidence.
Soldiers need to be fixated on fighting, not obtaining sex change operations funded by the military.
Trump’s potential move reflects concerns shared by many: that prioritising ideological “diversity” initiatives over merit and readiness undermines military effectiveness.
As Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, has pointed out in his book The War on Warriors, a “woke military” weakens the very foundations of national security.
He advocates a return to meritocracy, a principle that Family First firmly supports across all sectors.
This is not just about military policy—it’s about addressing a societal crisis where young people are misled to believe that gender is fluid and disconnected from biological reality.
This confusion harms their mental health, disrupts families, and erodes the values that bind communities together.
Family First applauds efforts to bring clarity and truth back into public life, especially in institutions like the military that must remain strong and focused.
Whether or not this policy materialises, the conversation is essential. It challenges the unchecked promotion of harmful ideologies and offers a pathway to restore a society where truth, discipline, and merit reign.
As these discussions continue, Family First stands for policies that protect young people, strengthen families, and prioritise reality over radical agendas.
