NPR Unspools 11 Minutes of Mourning for Departing Transgender Troops
22nd February 2026
“Public” broadcasting demonstrates how dramatically one-sided it is by allowing only one side of the “LGBTQIA+” debate — because they believe there should be no debate. There is no defensible position in opposition. On Saturday’s Consider This podcast, National Public Radio spent more than 11 minutes mourning the Trump administration’s decision to remove transgender troops from service.
The star of the story was Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former general in charge of troops in Afghanistan under President Obama — until he ripped the adminstration in a Rolling Stone profile. Then he had to go. But since then, McChrystal has become an opponent of Trump, and endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024, so he’s good again.
You’ll notice that these ‘transgender troops’ are almost always men pretending to be women, rarely women pretending to be men.
