They aren’t going to hurt you in any way, except maybe the masculine lesbians,...So why the HELL are they in the US Armed Forces?
It was a civilian installation, but I have been wondering the same thing.
Actually, my husband knows two men who are now women, one of which he knew from Vietnam. Both men/women say that it was the worst mistake of their lives, but too late to undo what was done. They just go through life in a kind of limbo, worse off than they were before.
