SHOCKER. Transgender Military Members Are Exempt From Fitness and Weight Standards
Red State. ^ | July 06, 2023 | streiff

Major Jones may very well be exempt from all physical fitness and height-weight standards.

...

Physical Fitness Testing Physical fitness is a fundamental requirement of your service. You are required to meet the physical fitness testing standards based upon your gender marker in your Service’s personnel data system and in accordance with Service regulations. If temporarily unable to meet the standards, it may be necessary to request an ETP or medical waiver.

While the 6-month exemption from physical fitness standards is not unusual for servicemembers undergoing rehab after an injury, applying it to someone for failing to make height-weight standards is bizarre. Further, awarding that rehab period for what is essentially a self-inflicted wound is, in my view, an offense against good order and discipline.

Given what I’ve seen of the command climate in the military today, I really have to question whether any commander wishing to stay in command or get promoted again would really feel they have the authority to process a transgender person for discharge for failure to meed height-weight or physical fitness standards no matter how many six-month exemptions they had to grant. I would be willing to bet that for most units containing transgender personnel, the exemptions are of indefinite length unless they wish to conform to standards.

More than the exemption from the height-weight standard, the standard for deployability makes the system manifestly unfair. A transgender can’t be assigned anywhere that doesn’t provide the level of medical/psychiatric care they are receiving. If a transgender undergoes surgical mutilation, the chances of them ever being deployed to an austere environment or remote locations is probably zero. So while healthy men and women have their lives interrupted by serving in unpleasant places, the Full Monty transgender doesn’t have that problem.

...

You’ve spent 15 years enlisted in the military.

You’ve been on 8 combat tours, have a few KIA bracelets on your wrists, & you missed your 2nd child’s birth because you were overseas.

In walks your new commander, Major “Rachel” Jones.

...

The bottom line, if I can say that in a post of transgenders, is that there is no reason for the military to accommodate transgenders. Any contribution they make is more than offset by their drag on unit efficiency and esprit. President Trump was right when he pulled the plug on this nonsense, and we need to go back to that standard when we get a sane president.

So normal people go in harm’s way but delusionals don’t get to face danger, and they get the same salary as the normals.

The solution for all these transgenders in the military is to put them into on unit. I suppose an airborne unit would do. They can be the first to go to war, parachutes are optional.

I knew it was over when DIA awarded the employee of the year just for wearing a dress and deploying to a non-combat position in Afghanistan. That is all he accomplished.

Faggot.

Today’s armed forces are turning into a jobs program where you can identify as anything before being a soldier, sailor, airman, or guardsman. And try as hard or as little as you like, evidently

Now you're getting it. You left out that they also get special privileges while on domestic duty.

You've got it all backwards. They can't be anywhere near the action. They are to be protected at all times. They are precious, not expendable.

One of these years, Russia will nuke us, and the pansies in the military won’t even respond. Then Europe will immediately surrender.

When I was in the 9th Infantry at Ft. Lewis, occasionally someone would be unable to work because they got too badly sunburned over the weekend off, they received charges for making themselves unable to work.
