Thousands of transgender service members are currently doing the job, and doing it well, but are forced to do so in silence....
How on earth could she know that? Its complete speculation.
My major objection to allowing gays openly serve in the military has been that it is very disruptive, and for the benefit of a few dozen people at most. I have seen half a dozen stories about specific individuals coming out as gay in the military - and assuming the media is turning over every rock to find these stories, I can safely assume that decades of studies, policy changes, congressional hearings, etc. were for the benefit of around a half dozen people - stupid.
And I’m quite sure there aren’t “thousands” of transgender freaks in the military either.
The most frequently cited number (which is still highly suspect) is 0.3% of our population is transgender. Of our 1.3 million troops, that would be 3,900 trannies in the ranks...if represented proportionately with the general population....which is very unlikely.

Yep, it’s not only complete speculation it’s total BS in my view. The vast majority of transgenders would have been outed so quick by straight troops it’d make it nearly impossible for them to have remained in service in the past.

They are trying every way possible to destroy the Finest Military on Earth!
So If a man believes himself to be a dog; does that mean he is a dog and can he now serve his country dressed like a dog. Will we tolerate him sniffing around a man's crotch since that is what dogs are prone to do. If a "Transgendered" person can serve; who could possibly be disbarred do to "qualifications"? Why are dwarfs and the handicapped barred from service? These fools are suffering from a mental illness that will now be affirmed with the full force and weight of law.
Homosexuals will colonize the US Military. They gravitate to Government since their lifestyle is protected and promotions assured. Just imagine the cost for all these queers who will rush into the military IOT get their sex changes.
But someday we will need a Military to fight for the very survival of our Nation. Then our Government will demand that our Grandchildren step up and do their duty.
After serving my entire adult life, 34 Years; I'm almost to the point where I simply can't recommend a young man join. For twenty years, my Brother and I, would try to warn Marines that this was coming. Rarely did anyone take us serious. Yet to date, not one senior Military Officer, Service Chief, has resigned over this! Maybe, as a Nation, we just don't care anymore.
Where this foolishness ends, none can tell! I'm just glad that I'm retired!

Well said, destroying the Finest Military on Earth is exactly what this _resident and his lackeys are trying to do.

all Americans who are qualified to serve
Transgender people are NOT qualified to serve due to their mental illness. Also it would be “prejudicial to good order and discipline” within the military.

All the denial and hormones in the world won’t affect DNA-that is why I said “fake gender”-they just give the unstable nutcase some of the body characteristics of what they are faking in their lala land.
I’d always heard dependence on drugs to maintain health was considered by the military as making a soldier not deployable, just as much as any severe physical limitation would. Where, in a war zone would someone be able to get insulin, heart medication, hormones, chemotherapy drugs etc? Not to mention that I can’t think of too many soldiers who would want to fight beside someone who is so emotionally unstable that they have delusions about belonging to the opposite gender...

Where did this number come from? Sounds like the author just pulled it out of his ass. Per wikipedia, there's 2.225M people in the military, both active and not. From a quick Google search: "In 1994, the American Psychiatric Association reported that "data from small countries in Europe with access to total population statistics and referrals suggest that roughly 1 per 30,000 adult males and 1 per 100,000 adult females seek sex reassignment surgeries." Another mentions 1 in 18,000 for males. So if we assume 1:25,000, that gives us 89 people. And that type of person isn't really the type of person to join the military (quite the opposite, really). So I'm not sure how they get thousands from a figure of less than a hundred.

Powerful Photos Fearlessly Redefine What It Means to Be LGBTQIA+
What is a "sassy switch femmeboi"? Or a "fierce queer xicana femme"? I've never heard the term xicana from even these deviants..
Queer masculine of center
Dynamic playful trans* queer
poly fag queermo
queer pinay femme
Gray-ace pansexual afro-latina
black gay queer feminist cisgendered man (I'm not an alphabet expert, but aren't some of those terms mutually exclusive?)
Late blooming qpoc (...?)
I swear, they make up words to call themselves just to be different and attention-seeking.
To: Svartalfiar
Pinay means from the Philippines. Xicana means the Chicana feminist movement or some such.

Where did this number come from?They used the same people that claimed that 16000 women are raped in the military each year and that 16000 homos were in the ranks.
