I have no problem with some one who claims they are transgendered serving. I do have a problem with them wanting to be treated by the military as a sex other then the one they are born. the military is not a place for this at all.

So you have male who is transgendered to female and you want the military to treat them by their real sex. So the transgendered male with breasts and an artificial vagina should shower with the males?

[[I have no problem with some one who claims they are transgendered serving.]]

Men taking female hormones are weaker than men with normal testosterone levels- We are waking our military by allowing weaker people, women and transgender men and women, to serve in the military- when lives are on the line- we need all the strength we can muster in our military- I wouldn’t want to have some 90 lb weakling being responsible for carrying me to safety if I were wounded- It’s putting military men at risk allowing weaker people to serve on the battlefield- President Trump’s tweets this morning pretty much said the same thing- The military is for tough people- not men with emotional problems and physical problems

see this thread post to back up what I’m talkign about- He puts it very strongly that transgender people aren’t mentally fit to serve- it’s a powerful post:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3572217/posts

From the thread:

“I served in Iraq in 2006. For the first five months I was on a 12 man firebase out in the middle of nowhere in the desert.

Everyday was Groundhog Day. Wake up and do the same patrols, the same shifts, every single day. It was so damn hot. 150° in the gun trucks.

Tracer fire would go overhead occasionally at night. IED’s on the road were a daily threat. We got resupplied food every 8 days.

QRF was an hour away. After they made the minimum three gun truck rule after the guys got kidnapped, life got harder.

The stress of being out there and doing the same job every single day eats away at you. The younger guys had problems with that overtime.

Any tiny little personal issue they had suddenly became a mountain. And that shit came out on that fire base. And they snapped mentally.

After stepping on each other’s nuts living in the same can for five months, guys were at each other’s throats. The stress made it worse.

Guys would literally snap over a dear John letter. Their personal issues came out and they were instantly combat ineffective.

Now take someone confused about whether they are a man/woman. Take those psychological and emotional issues and put them in that environment

Take someone who is right off the bat not uniform or part of the same team. Give them special treatment because of their identity.

Take that person, put them in that stressful war environment and watch what happens. It’s a fucking ticking time bomb.

You have to be incredibly tough mentally, physically and emotionally. War is not a fucking video game. It tests every ounce of your being.

You can’t teach someone to be a fearless warrior in a fucking PowerPoint. You either have it or you don’t. You can hack it or you can’t.

We had guys who couldn’t. When faced with combat situations they crumbled. They had mental and emotional issues. They were a liability.

To be successful at war, you have to become a warrior mentally, physically, and emotionally. You can’t fake it and go through the motions.

In war if it comes down to kill or be killed, and you hesitate, you’re dead. It’s a simple as that. It’s not a fucking video game.

War is no place for people who are mentally, emotionally, or physically confused or in turmoil. You have your shit together, or you don’t.

And if you don’t, you’ll just get people needlessly killed. Political correctness has absolutely no place in the military.

Enough for now. This one armed veteran has a business to run. Unlike Iran, the country that took my arm, Obama didn’t pay me millions.”

People who are “transgendering” are suffering from a debilitating mental disorder. They should not be given any position within our military. The military is a tough enough occupation and responsibility for a normal person. It is not a place to indulge the fantasies of mentally ill patients who reject reality.

Transgenders are mentally ill and we do not need mentally ill people in the military. Our job is to kill people and blow up things, not be a laboratory for social experiments.

You ever actually served in the military? I have. Grunt in the Army. I have a BIG problem with transgenders in the military. Gays, too. People sitting at home safe in their houses can say things like "I don't have a problem with X,Y,Z in the military" because it isn't their life put at risk so a bunch of wannabe social engineers can feel gloriously tolerant of every perversion and mental illness.
