Nic Talbott keeps himself busy, working as a substitute teacher, studying for a master’s degree, helping with chores at his grandmother’s farm. He also finds time, almost daily, for rigorous workouts — to ensure he is in shape in case his dream job, serving in the U.S. military, becomes available.
For now, that door is closed to him by the Trump administration for one reason: He’s transgender.
Talbott, 26, was elated in 2016 when the Pentagon — with a green light from then-President Barack Obama — announced that transgender people already serving in the military would be allowed to do so openly. President Donald Trump, six months after replacing Obama, announced with a tweet in July 2017 that he would reverse that policy and bar transgender individuals from serving in any capacity in the military.
Four lawsuits were filed in federal courts challenging Trump’s policy, including one in which Talbott is a plaintiff. The suits are pending, but the Supreme Court last year ruled that the ban could go into effect while the litigation continued. The ban was formally implemented on April 12, 2019.
Some transgender people who hoped to enlist have moved on to other pursuits, but Talbott refuses to give up on a career aspiration that dates to his childhood. […]
Before the ban, Talbott was participating in an Army ROTC program. He says he’d be open to serving in either the Army or the Air Force, ideally as a military police officer or in a military intelligence unit. …

We don’t need mentally ill people in the military. People who get a security clearance for many military jobs need to be mentally fit. The traitor Bradley Manning is an example of what can go wrong when a mentally ill person is put into a position of responsibility.
Certainly unshaven but hardly obese. S/he is thin as a rail.
Great point! I can’t see but that shouldn’t stop me from being a pilot!
I can’t jump but that shouldn’t stop me from playing in the NBA.
Ya, right? Grab your balls and cough. Not anymore.
My son hopes to be flying again in a couple of weeks. It seems to me, they might be hurting military readiness.
Yup. Show me ONE article of a "Trans Man" dominating in it's sport.
Why does the woke media love trans issues so much
I wonder what percentage of media is homosexual?
I don’t think this is a weewee lopoff. I think it’s a strapon. Replace the word transgender with the word fake to keep it straight. I learned that here in FR years ago and it’s made reading certain types of headlines easier to read.
I dream of joining the English corps of archers at Agincourt, too. Dreams sometimes can be downright silly.
“And if I am wrong, please feel free to point it out to me.”
You are right in all but one small part of your statement:
“....woman “changing gender” to a man...”
It is physically impossible for a gender to be successfully surgically changed into the other gender. There are reasons genders were made by God the way they are. And one of the reasons is for, like all other mammals on this planet, to mate and create young ones. Neither men being changed can produce or carry ovum, and women being changed can produce sperm to fertilize. And God created the bodies to accomplish this action of reproduction. Man/woman can’t change that. So they are not going through a sex change, they are mutilating God’s work.

I hear the Taliban are hiring.
“....they destroy the careers of those around them.”
And that can include their own. Many of the women going after flying jobs want to be in the hot rods. But being in direct, aggressive combat has some dark factors. One of the items on the training checklists is a discussion about capture.
During the Kuwait campaign to free them, we found numerous buildings that were filled with women ages preteen to older, with the Iraqi soldiers going in daily to rape them with the intent to impregnate them so their villages would shun them when they were released. A downed female American pilot, unlike their male counterparts, will be subjected to this behavior. And many women can lose their identity and become mentally ill from this.
The other side of the boat is going to be the lifespan of a transgender pilot when they are stripped of their uniform after capture. They will have a choice, they will be raped and given far more torture in that way as they are the enemy and were deceitful involving sex as that is an important political male topic. Or they may just kill the pilot out of anger feeling deceived with their capture as capturing a woman is not as important in their minds. Either way, it won’t be pretty.

If I identify as a dog, can I enlist in the combat K-9 coprps?

This mentally unstable loon should “join” a psychiatric hospital and receive extensive treatment. Don’t let this should-be-mental-patient any where near knives or guns.
That’s why I put “changing gender” in quotes.
Stuff like this crap pushing the queer agenda comes from very likely the Aspersion Press Washington office pushing it. As managements top editorial level gives the writing assignments direction and story treatment to their hacks. But in this case it’s after management being approached by the subject offering the story line who should be discharged because he does offer operational policy problems which he is challenging.
When I was a teen, I hung out with some AF military police. They did lots of illegal stuff, like dating uderage girls (my friend). Probably why this sex-confused girl’s interested.
