Female military recruit, 18, considered quitting after she was forced to shower with transgender women who had not undergone full medical reassignment surgery - and was too afraid to complain in case it harmed her career

An 18-year-old military recruit revealed she considered quitting the armed forces entirely after being forced to shower with transgender soldiers.

The woman, who is remaining anonymous through fears of backlash, slammed Biden administration policies for putting her in an 'extremely uncomfortable position.'

The complaint was raised Tuesday during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, with South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds condemning the issue for fueling a lack of military recruitment in recent years.

'The respect that this young recruit should have received and the privacy that she should have had, she was being deprived of,' Rounds told Fox News.

Rounds noted that the transgender soldiers she was housed with had not undergone any medical gender reassignment surgeries.

The issue comes over two years after President Joe Biden reversed Donald Trump's ban on transgender individuals entering the military, in one of his first moves after entering the White House in January 2021.

Considered, which I take to mean she will tolerate it enough to stay in the armed forces.

Can you just quit the military if you feel like it?

These two are what’s backing up Biden as he stands on the Russian border screaming for WWIII.

Well, yes. You can go AWOL, but there can be ramifications to that. I do believe quartering men with women is against the UCMJ, but given the climate these days, the judge advocate is probably a pole smoker anyway.

Soldiers get naked together, that is a normal part of their life.

What difference would it make if the man she had to shower with was mutilated?

It's not "our" military except in the sense that we're forced to pay for it. They do not fight for freedom anywhere or for your interests on any level. They will kill you and your family if ordered.

I loved the old free USA, but that's gone.

This is the enemy's military.

I recall in 1967 a fellow LT. was caught with a small Green beret tattoo on his wrist. The Group CO told him to get it removed or you are dishonorable discharged= -

I read this article yesterday, and I still don’t know who is an actual female, who are actual males, and what pronoun is confused.

I joined the Army at age 17 (graduated HS early), was in Basic Training the next summer when I turned 18.

Even thought I grew up with a Mom At Home (and a Dad!) and a Sister it was WEIRD ENOUGH showering with other girls and sharing an OPEN BAY six-seat ‘toilet’ with one another! Never before had I not had ‘privacy’ in the bathroom while growing up.

What women in the US ARMED FORCES are being subjected to today is disgusting. Absolutely. Disgusting.

Not to mention all the stupid, STUPID ‘politically induced to make money’ wars we’ve been in since ODS.

God Help Us!

Those pushing this insanity belong far away from the societal controls they’re clearly abusing.

Reminds me of the shower scene in Starship Troopers. So, when does the “bug” war begin?
