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.

It will be curious to see once Biden’s weak diplomacy gets the bullets flying again forcing our troops back in harm’s way, just how many transgenders will be on the front lines.
The short answer is no for enlisted troops. Officers can resign their commission but not necessarily their service obligation.
In Iraq during 2004, some convoys I was with would stop for a break, with male soldiers relieving themselves downwind, and female soldiers squatting a short distance away in the desert (no trees or hills to go behind). Soldiers took turns with guard duty during the stop.
She’s a recruit. It could fall under “inability to adapt to military life. “
Apparently. Dang!
And women should not be soldiers.
Now that units are mixed the males and females will be naked together at times, for example outside shower trucks that don’t have anything except shower heads sticking out the sides to the outdoors.
Crossing water naked and putting your clothes on after crossing and just ordinary walking around naked, both indoors and out.
How many were KIA/MIA riding up and down roads? Why no choppers or cargo planes
Yea, she will fight for our country....only if it wont hurt her career, ok if it humiliates the crap out of her.
Women effectively voted for this by voting to protect access to legal abortions. Now younger women are dealing with the consequences.
“And women should not be soldiers.”
My military record, awards, decorations and promotions say otherwise. :)
But, I DO understand your point and you’re welcome to it. I would NOT recommend today’s military for either young men or young women.
