Ran across this dialogue about sex reassignment surgery (SRS) regret. It's all text but very graphic.

These people think sex reassignment surgery is the answer to all their problems so they fly off to Thailand to find a surgeon who will chop their parts off. They wake up dealing with infections, necrosis and crippling pain, in more misery than they ever imagined.

It's not the way Hollywood portrays it.

Can anyone imagine repeating Belleau Woods , Omaha Beach, the siege of Bastogne, Pattons seemingly impossible and miraculous disengagement and relief of Bastonge, the Frozen Chosin in Korea, Hue, DakTo or Khe San where soldiers were pushed to the limits of human endurance and will with today's PC military led by Obama’s homocentric perfumed princes

This is the openoing paragraphs of the LA Times entry on this:

“President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he plans to reinstate a ban on transgender individuals from serving “in any capacity” in the US armed forces.

The decision reversed a policy initially approved by the Defense Department under President Barack Obama, which was still under final review, that would allow transgender individuals to openly serve in the military. Defense Secretary James Mattis announced last month that he was delaying enactment of the plan to begin allowing transgender individuals to join the US military.

So this is not Trump creating a new rule about this he supposedly accomplished. This is an attempt to reinstate a policy in the best interest of the military that was taken out by Obama to be reinstated. And as a 32 year vet of two wars, I can promise you it will save a lot of people’s lives and limb. A lot of “different people” got a lot of grief from Obama’s lack of experience.

First of all they aren’t there to fight but to get free surgery, hormone shots etc.

When you add their total instability to their non-military personal goals, what could the military possibly want with these creatures?

I have talked to people who lived around “transgenders” and some of the stories are quite scary. I actually got this in a E-mail a year or two ago when the tranny in the military debate first started.

Excerpt Begins:

” One time me and my friend ( who is a transgender male to female ) was at a store and we were browsing around when a little old lady came up behind my friend to ask them to help get something off a high shelf. and I am paraphrasing here: “Excuse me sir, could you help me with getting ( i forget what the item was ) off that shelf?”

Well my friend flew the complete “hell off the handle” as they whipped around and went on a five minute tirade saying things like “Do I look like a man?” and “Are you f**ing blind?” in a very aggressive manner. The poor old lady looked stunned as she was just innocently asking someone for help only to be verbally lashed out at by this “woman” that if she had any doubt about gender she knew for sure at this point that is was a man in a dress due to the aggressive nature of the lashing out she was receiving.

I remember standing there stunned as if just witnessing a Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde moment. I remember thinking that if only my friend had just turned around and used some damned charm instead of flying off the handle and trying to FORCE their idea of how they should be referred to a kindly old lady. An old lady who just wanted something off a shelf and wasn’t consciously or maliciously thinking about the gender expression of the person she was asking.

After that day I took steps to slowly distance myself from that person so that I didn’t “dump them” but instead just lost contact with them via attrition. I didn’t want to wake that horrible dragon up that I saw that day in the store on accusations that I stopped being their friend because they were “trans” instead the real reason was because I saw how unhinged they could be for the dumbest and most innocent of reasons. It was like if anyone “appeared” to question their own self validation, even if it was an innocent mistake, they could fly off the handle. This wasn’t like someone with a short emotional fuse, but instead someone with a volatile emotional hair trigger.

A couple of months after the “incident” in the store I was talking to my cousin who is a tall woman who lives in the country and I told her the story. She laughed after I told her about it and i asked her why she laughed. She told me that sometimes after she does her chores on the farm she sometimes stops in at the local Wal-Mart to either pickup fixins for supper or things like motor oil for her husband. She said her chore clothes are overalls and she packs her hair into a hat to keep it clean, and that one day a little old lady came up to her from behind while she was in the store and asked “SIR” for some help getting something off a high shelf. She turned around and the little old lady apologized saying something like: “Oh I’m sorry ma’am”. She said she just smiled at the old lady and said “oh, don’t worry, it happens all the time because I am tall” and they both had a good laugh about it and went their separate ways after she had retrieved the item for the sweet old lady. After she told me this I thought how different that embarrassing experience could have been had she handled it like a genuine person would have.

I have talked to other people who have been acquainted to “trans” people and the one common thing that I have discovered is that if you ask enough people they all have stories of trans people flying off the handle when someone else innocently “mis-genders” them. People wonder why I consider trans people in the military such a bad idea. I just have tell them this story and how what would happen if a foxhole if someone under fire accidentally “mis-genders” their fellow soldier. Talk about an “un-friendly fire” situation... I mean i consider myself a progressive, but this incident I personally experienced and further collaborated similar incidents with other people who I would consider progressive as well leads me to think that there is a serious risk of having someone with a such an issue in any sort of military situation. I have to say “NO” to allowing transgender people in the military, they need to get their lives sorted out first and foremost and the military is not a place for them to be doing that.

Excerpt Ends:

So yeah, this is from someone I know who is a “progressive liberal” who agrees with Trump on this issue, even though I am 100% sure they didn’t vote for Trump. I think just the whole idea of someone flying off the handle even if someone inadvertently calls them with a gender pronoun they don’t agree with is really scary, especially in the military.

Well then, if trannies really want to go into the military then what the military could do would be to set up a tranny advance command which only works on the front line and just before battle tell the tranny troops that ISIS just called them "men."

Couple that effort with back up lesbian troops with PMS and you got yourself a real army.

PS. Do not google image search the word "tranny."

What’s next? Sensitivity training for the drill instructors who call off cadence with:
“This is my weapon, this is my gun. One is for fighting, the other for fun.”

Killmeade was whining about this not being done the proper way. That it should have gone through committee and review and all that crap.

Obama and Carter didn’t go through any committee. They just decreed it. Trump can undecree it.

I understand that a Twit is not the way to issue orders but Dunford was out of line and a bit churlish in his tone in saying by letter that nothing would be done until he received written orders. At his level he should have had more sense and because he does not I’d fire him for being stupid let alone insubordinate.

War is not for the mentally ill. We would not sociopaths or autistic people to prosecute war, why let those who deny their gender.

Very insightful. There's absolutely NOTHING genuine about a tranny.
