The U.S. Army is telling women soldiers that they need to accept gender-confused, biological men in their showers, bathrooms, and barracks as part of a controversial policy to build dignity and respect for transgender Soldiers.
The guidance is part of the Pentagons new transgender inclusion agenda launched by Obama and gaining ground in the Armed Services. Social conservatives are mounting a counteroffensive to ditch the trans program altogether.
President Trump and the Pentagon have sent mixed signals on LGBT issues, with the DoD honoring gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender pride month in June even as Trump himself broke with Obama by not issue a homosexual pride proclamation.
In Vignette 4 of an Armys PowerPoint guidance, titled, Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Soldiers Training Module, Tier 3: Units and Soldiers, issued last September, it states the following regarding a hypothetical transgender Soldier who is transitioning to a new gender:
Following her transition from male to female (which did not include sex reassignment surgery) and gender marker change in DEERS [the Armys personnel system Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System], a transgender Soldier begins using female barracks, bathroom, and shower facilities. Because she did not undergo a surgical change, the Soldier still has male genitalia. The pro-transgender lesson then offers the following two points among six Considerations and Responsibilities required of Army personnel in such cases:
1-Understand that you may encounter individuals in barracks, bathrooms, or shower facilities with physical characteristics of the opposite sex despite having the same gender marker in DEERS.
2-All Soldiers should be respectful of the privacy and modesty concerns of others. However, transgender Soldiers are not required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not match other Soldiers.

Where is Mad Dog?
HUUMPHHHH!
THIS WILL NOT END WELL!
This policy is total BS. Period.
> Where is Mad Dog? <
And where is President Trump? Trump has been in office for more than 5 months now, and as Commander-in-Chief he has wide latitude in military matters.
So I must ask: Why is this policy still in place?
He wants women out of the armed forces?
Pray that he finds the 'nads to confronts the ongoing destruction of our military with both speed and force.
Why hasn’t this been squashed like a bug?
Satire, or What The F-— ?!!
This was put on a 6 month hold, and it better be permanent after that. A bunch of freaks stating they are another sex is purely mental sickness, and has no place in a civilized world.
“
“He wants women out of the armed forces?”
I sounds more like someone wants (wanted) erections out of the Armed Forces!
Just what I was going to ask. Didn’t he say “The military is not a social experiment” and Trump was putting an end to this insanity?
[dignity and respect for transgender Soldiers]
What about DIGNITY and RESPECT for women? TRAVESTY.
FOOLPROOF GENDER IDENTITY and LAVATORY QUALIFICATION TEST!
Designed for those unfortunate individuals still confused as to their gender,
this simple test will assist with that vital, possibly life-changing decision.
Can be performed at home in any climate.
THE TEST!
If there were snow on the ground and you stepped outside,
COULD YOU WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE SNOW?
If you are capable of performing this intricate feat, UNIQUE TO MALES, or even come close,
PLEASE USE PUBLIC FACILITIES LABELED MEN.
If, however, you cannot even attempt this remarkable feat, and normally SIT or SQUAT while urinating, PLEASE USE THE FACILITIES DESIGNATED LADIES or WOMEN.
THANK YOU!
(This message provided by the millions of American citizens who are FED UP with insane distractions of this sort by renegade and out-of-control, bureaucrats, leftists and courts, the obvious goal of which is the total and absolute destruction of any remaining common sense standards en-route to a totalitarian command tyranny.)
I will lose a lot of respect for Trump if this stands. A tremendous amount of respect.
So if I read this correctly the normal soldiers must be respectful but the trans folks can do what they want. A little one sided isn't it?
