Openly Trans Soldier Speaks: ‘I Feel Liberated’ by the End of Pentagon’s Transgender Ban
Daily Beast ^ | June 30, 2016 | Nancy A. Youseff

Even before the U.S. military ended its ban Thursday on transgender service members openly serving, Army Sgt. Ken Ochoa, 26, already knew what it meant to openly serve. Ochoa, who joined the military in 2010, transitioned in 2014, well before the military considered lifting the ban. He heard that other troops had made the transition and discovered an inner peace that came with the change. So he made the decision to follow suit, knowing he would silently become a different person before his fellow soldiers, his company commander, and his friends around the base.

It will be interesting to see what happens when chromosome males who get operations to be “female” say when their male frame gets compared against the current female height and weight standards? It is my guess, that they might meet the current standards...thus does the military throw out the height and weight standards?

This was never a “Twilight Zone” episode because nobody, in their wildest dreams, could ever make this insanity up.

These articles are so confusing. Was he a she who now thinks she is a he, or was she a woman who now wants us to think she is a man?

Crazy...

Army Sgt. Ken Ochoa should be in a padded cell.

The nearest to a Twilight Zone episode was when the old man and woman went to a rejuvenation clinic which placed the “soul” of the old man in a young man’s body. Only enough money for one transfer, the old man then took his old body back to be with his elderly wife.

No perversion at all in that episode.

I served in the U.S Coast Guard 40 years doing so proudly.

These freaks would be booted out immediately. Never, Never in my wildest would I believe what I see happening to the U.S. military today. Obama has turned the once finest military into a freak show. Because that is what a trans gender is: Freak.

I suppose it's a girl which is trying to pretend to be a man. Of course it could be a male pretending to be a girl.

It's getting hard to tell what sort of nut we are dealing with nowadays.

All I know is that mentally delusional people are a detriment to the Military, and for that matter, to society in general.

This is all jarret and Hillary who see the military as a social justice laboratory. We should go back to do ask and do tell.
