For one Georgia soldier, transgender ban prompts painful decision

Aven Thomas began medically transitioning from female to male in 2021, just months after then-President Joe Biden signed an executive order allowing transgender people to serve openly in the U.S. military.

The result was so gratifying for the U.S. Army specialist that he compared it to turning on a light in pitch darkness. “When you feel at your best,” he added, “you are able to perform your best.”

That's all I could post before the paywall, pay for your "transition" yourself freak.

[roving]

He spent his whole tour transitioning and not serving.

[shelterguy]

He is a chick, Jim.

He spent his whole tour transitioning and not serving.

No, she spent her whole tour not serving.

” Aven Thomas began medically transitioning from female to male in 2021”

That is currently impossible. Until science can imprint a Y-Chromosome though out the entire human body, females cannot become males.

No one is transgender. Some people are transdelusional.

If he wants to slice organs, I don’t care, but don’t make me pay for it.

[glorgau]

He?

[FreedomPoster]

Degrade military readiness, spend money on sexually insane political allies, demoralize regular folks, all part of the plan.

You are not deployable...

What you see is what you get

Great to hear about your feelings. What about the other 340 million feelings? Do they matter? What about those of us who want a military of unconfused soldiers who’s main goal in life is not about altering nature to lighten and brighten their feelings?

Should the delusional thoughts of less than 1% of the population disrespect disrupt and threaten our security?

Yeah what about our feelings?

[LouAvul]

Yeah, I can’t even figure it out sometimes.

[kawhill]

I wonder how the surgeons attached his tally-whacker?

[Wuli]

Compassion, yes; sympathy, yes; but agreement on “remedy”, NO.

The “gender affirming care” that is needed is compassionate, sympathetic and PROFESSIONAL MENTAL HEALTH CARE, to help the person out of their identity dysphoria obsession and help them affirm the biological sex that they are.

[iamgalt]

Spare us the sob story. Of course they would dig up one of the very women pretending to be male instead of the other way. In either case we don’t need these sick creeps in our military.

[metmom]

Grifter.

No "IT" didn't. That is not possible.

Its best expected outcome would be to "transition" into a confused suicidal female whackjob, with surgically mutilated genitals.
