If your daughter is planning to join the Army, she might find more hanging out in the shower than expected.
As reported by Breitbart beneath the banner of “exclusive,” the branch’s training includes updated instructions for bathing. And the rules are plenty far from what veterans would find familiar.
Official guidance — purportedly delivered via scenarios labeled “vignettes” — prescribes proper responses to issues concerning transgenderism.
Vignette Nine deals with mandated urine specimens: What if an “observer” is uncomfortable having to watch a soldier — who has “not [had] sex reassignment surgery” — pee into a cup?
Comfort-minded measures are on the table:
Commanders may consider alternate observation options… Options could include observation by a different observer or medical personnel of the same gender as the soldier.
But what about washing with a penis-packing peer? According to the eighth vignette, reluctant ladies are out of luck. But maybe at least the person-with-a-prostate won’t pee.
A soldier transitioned from male to female… The soldier did not have sex-reassignment surgery. … [O]ther soldiers have expressed discomfort showering with a female who has male genitalia (in an open-bay shower configuration).
Those concerned may discuss “with their chain of command.”
However:
Soldiers must accept living and working conditions that are often austere, primitive, and characterized by little or no privacy. All soldiers will use the billeting, bathroom, and shower facilities associated with their gender marker…
The slide does stipulate that “commanders have discretion to employ reasonable accommodations” such as “installing shower curtains” or “adjusting shower schedules.”
But:
Facilities will not be designated, modified, or constructed to make transgender-only areas. Any modifications made must be available to all soldiers to use. Accommodations cannot isolate or stigmatize the transgender soldier.
Might unrequired accommodations such as curtains make a transgender soldier sense stigma? Surely there’s a solid chance.
Of course, the situation was inevitable once government adopted the revolutionary notion of “gender.” Until recently, everyone in America was nonbinary. People were classified solely according to sex; the just-added layer of “gender identity” did not exist. When that classification was clutched, raised, and riveted onto identification by our federal apparatus, forced unisex showering was essentially enshrined.
All branches are bound to command co-ed cleaning:

Other Army vignettes — captures of which were previously published by Popular Military — pertain to things such as “pronoun usage”:
A soldier approaches their commander and requests the commander direct all soldiers in the unit to address them and use the pronouns common to their self-identified gender without completing the gender marker change in [the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System].
Solution:
Inform the soldier that the Army recognizes a soldier’s gender by the soldier’s gender marker… Coincident with that gender marker, the soldier must use the proper pronoun, when appropriate, when addressing other soldiers and should expect to be addressed by the pronoun appropriate for the gender marker.
As for pregnancy, it’s about medical conditions and association:
Understand that soldiers who have transitioned gender may remain susceptible to medical conditions associated with their birth gender. Transgender soldiers will be treated the same as any other soldier with a given medical condition. … Commanders and units will comply with all policies related to pregnant soldiers.
Culturally, it appears the military is no more. What once defined the institution has been traded for something undeniably new.
Previously, people went or were encouraged into the service for reasons related to patriotism and personal improvement. Enlistees stood to gain maturation and discipline derived from being treated as a number and forced to comply with difficult demands. Amid that process, they were protecting a noble nation.
Our remade idea of the Armed Forces emphasizes accommodation — while teaching Critical Race Theory and the evil history of the country.
Despite the old rigors of the branches, girls were never made to bathe with boys. But we’re in the midst of a societal switch. A revolution of reversal is upon us. It’s evident in many ways; color-blindness, for example, is the new racism.
How does the future America look? One thing seems certain: It bears little resemblance to the one from the past.
Having run 1024x768 or better since the early 90s, and pretty much have been working from desktops since, I go with a 800 width as a minimum for posts.
[Occasionally 640, but only for less impactful images. YMMV...]
War, or anything else they can use, to do it.
600 usually works best for me but for that image I might have gone with 666.
;)
Yeah, this will end well.
“The only possible reason I can think of for wanting to destroy the greatest voluntary force in the world is because they no longer want it voluntary.”
It’s the same thing they are doing with the police — when good people will no longer want to serve, then bad people will. combine the bad people with years of indoctrination and the result will be a military/police force that is more then willing to commit atrocities.
The illegals, if this is what liberals are after, will want to prove themselves as good citizens. They will be very enthusiastic about enforcing the laws on the books.
You are too kind.
I would maintain it is happening because the Left wants a force they can use for internal repression/suppression of heritage America. And this is how they are bringing that about.
I distinctly remember early sex ed happening in the 5th grade for girls, and the 6th grade for boys. And yes, the sexes were separated, there were no boys in the room when the girls had sex ed, and no girls in the room when the boys had it.
This was roughly 50 years ago. DC suburb.
When I was in grade 5, about 45 years ago, the boys had an extra gym period while the girls were in sex Ed.
I agree with you. The illegals will be given a chance to serve to prove they can be good citizens. They will want to serve to prove themselves, but they will be oppressors while thinking they are doing what they are supposed to do.
Only read the headline. No They Wont!
1. Identify a respected institution.
2. Kill it.
3. Gut it.
4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.

The US Military is being gutted. It’s having a hard time getting recruits. Soon it will no longer be the US military; It will simply be “the military.” And it will be used a against its own citizens.
Consider that the Left pretty much indoctrinates your kids K thru 12, and then again in college. But what about those HS graduates who chose not to attend college? That is what the re-instituted Draft will be for. They may be planning for WW3, I do not know. But there are lots of social things that the Left can ram thru if they have total control of draftee’s mind and body for 3 or 4 years.
I’m guessing it will be the spics fighting the ragheads for the scraps once America completes its collapse. So, spanish or arabic.
Just plain sick. Can’t wait to change administrations and get rid of these sickos.
Remember the arguments about allowing gays in the military? Now 30 years later we have come to this. What’s worse is that not too long ago the military would have fought with conservatives against domestic tyranny. Now we can expect they will be fighting for the tyrants.
The democrats do love their War on Women
