Just don't call these gender dysphorics a word that rhymes with cranny, or FB will suspend you for a week.

I saved myself a lot of trouble I guess. I still don’t have FB or twitter accounts.

It’s not just the surgery, I’ve been told. These poor souls also require a constant supply of hormones not naturally present in their bodies to maintain their illusions. Don’t know that these hormones would be available in a wartime/deployment setting.

I have a friend on FB who just puts spaces between letters so facebook’s keyword mining bots can’t read what he’s writing. seems effective as he writes whatever he wants with no issues. So if you write t ranny, facebook has no clue.

USS Enterprise, 81-85.
That’s why I separated. There were NO shore billets for an Electrician’s Mate for the forseeable future, the women had ‘em all.

The only ELECTIVE surgery that is necessary is for Lasix for vision reasons as glasses hamper their ability as soldiers. No one tells them it’s only good for about a decade. Or the Dry Eye Syndrome that comes with it.

It’s not even covered as a medical necessity under Tricare Life when cataract implants are done badly. I ought to know, just having spent $5K+ to have badly done cataract implants fixed. Now fighting Dry Eye Syndrome. Had to have both lower tear ducts cauterized closed, and will have the uppers done on Monday. I make no tear film anymore. Get dry spots on corneas. Eyes fill full of sand.

The math on this sucks. An enlistee joins the service and spends two or more months in basic training, depending on which service he joined. He then goes on to technical training, which can last from several weeks to more than a year. After that he gets sent to he permanent assignment where he spends a year or more learning how to actually do his job. That means he’s only got about two years where he would be subject to deployment, since the military doesn’t like sending trainees to hot spots.

238 days would mean that this guy would be undeployable for two 180 day deployment cycles. That’s half of his remaining enlistment. Bottom line is that the tranny wanna-be joined the service, got free job training, government funded sex change surgery, and will probably never have to actually do what he was paid for.

I understand. My dry eyes got so bad that the surface of my cornea would peel off when I blinked and I would be blind for half a day afterward. They blocked both tear drain ducts on both eyes and used a laser to burn off the surface of my corneas. I have to use artificial tears and my corneas have permanent scarring and distortion.

Id say it is breach of contract to chang from what was accepted at recruitment though no way we should pay for all the change entails.

This should not even be up for discussion. Get rid of them.

If the other thing that Gender Dysphoria qualifies you for is SSDI. How can they join the military?

I wonder what happens if you are talking about automotive transmissions? Does FB look at the context of the post?

Hey, you know who thinks Trannys in the US Military is a great idea: ISIS and every single person who hates the US Military, that’s who.

They’re dependant on hormone therapy, which makes them non-deployable!

There are others allowed to stay in that are not world-wide deployable that burdens those who are to more time in the field... I hope this is used to boot them also.
