The military is already in the middle of a historic transition allowing women to serve in all combat roles. And the Pentagon is grappling with transgender rights as the issue has gained attention in other parts of the country, including North Carolina, where the governor is facing off with the federal government over a ban on transgender people using bathrooms that don’t match the gender they were assigned on their birth certificates. The Justice Department ruled the law discriminatory last week, and North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) sued the department Monday, accusing the federal government of “baseless and blatant overreach.”

Also on Friday, the Obama administration directed schools across the country to provide transgender students with access to suitable facilities.

... provide transgender students with access to suitable facilities.

Suitable facilities would be a padded room in a mental institution. Why should schizophrenic, navel gazing idiots be denied access to serve their country ? What about cantaloupes ? Can you imagine the pride that the first cantaloupe promoted to a four general might feel ? More fruit in the military. Other nations will wilt under America's commitment to suicide

In English, we would say bathrooms for the opposite sex. But we have gone WAY beyond English, haven't we, Washington Post?

Can’t have a faddish haircut or tattoos, chopping of your genatalia is okay.

Since we don’t seem to need a military anymore, we could just turn the Pentagon into a giant unisex bathroom where you can hug a toilet and cry, and it doesn’t matter what kind of pee-pee you have.

Speaking of pee-pee, there’ll be a lot of inserting one’s pee-pee up another’s poo-poo both in the barracks and in the fox ‘hole’.

I think that means that Patrick is a mentally ill straight man, just a mutilated one. Reading comprehension is a whole lot more challenging in this liberal world than it used to be.

Ah yes, transgenders in the military - even after reassignment surgery transgenders have suicide rate 20 times higher than overall population - that'll help the sky-high suicide rate amongst the troops.....

The gender that was assigned to me? Bullhockey! I was born in the era when boy children were circumcised and some OB man, now long dead, relieved me of my prepuce.

Now doubt here as to my gender.

Openly gay transgender? What is this? Is Bruce Jenner now gay if he likes chicks? What if he now likes guys?

All this crap is just too confusing for me.

Weaving deviancy into the fabric of a nation is probably a very good way to destroy it.

This country needs a course correction badly.
