Period.

We'll have none of those from our male soldiers!

I almost forgot. First, sex reassignment surgery is very expensive.

Also, I failed to discuss the impact of transgendered individuals who do not go through with sex reassignment surgery.

In this case you have a female gendered individual with male genitalia. If treated as a legal female, this means during an observed urinalyses drug test (military standard for random drug tests), the biological male/female gendered individual must be observed by a female. Likewise, a biological female/male gendered individual must be observed by a male.

While the military has moved aggressively away from shared barracks and “gang latrines” with communal showers, they still exist on ships and in forward deployed areas. In these cases, the biological male/female gendered individual must be use female facilities, and the biological female/male gendered individual must use male facilities.

This is not a case of disappearing into a shower stall at a university or a gym. Expect no privacy at forward operating locations.

We have entered an era where most of the people who have voice their opinion have never dealt with this. They had their own room growing up. Even if they lived in a dorm in college, they did not have communal showers. They probably never even shared an apartment with a roommate as a 20-something. They never lived in austere environments. And they want to make policy based on their life experiences.

Yep. This is one other thing to consider. In theory loading a female up on estrogen blockers and testosterone should stop periods. But apparently this woman isn’t serious about her transition. But that is one more thing that has to be considered from a military readiness standpoint.

In USMC bootcamp in San Diego, we had one DI that loved to give us the weekly tally of homosexuals booted out of the navy.

I think there’s a difference between a “transsexual” and a gay person. Until about 15 minutes ago, “transsexuals” were considered to have a major personality disorder. I’m not talking about hermaprodites, born with two sets of genitalia, who are a medical problem, but about people who announce that, appearances and chromosomes to the contrary, they’re really the opposite sex or maybe they’re both sexes.

These people are way too unstable and self-obsessed to be in the military. They are endangering everyone around them with their personal fantasies and making it all about “them” and not about the common project.

Gay people - and I say this as someone with many gay friends - may be somewhat maladjusted, but as long as they can focus on the project, they can function. The only project transsexuals have is their own fantasy life and there’s no way that can work with the military project.

No it has not.

They used to ask back when I went through the enlistment process.
If they lied then if it became a problem they were quite properly punished for fraudulent enlistment on top of whatever else they had done.

The problem the socialist coyotes have is that they expected that by this time they would have hung a sheep or a lamb through their sheer numbers and viciousness.

Trump turned out to be hung like a bull, and the coyotes keep getting gored.

He should add: There is no room in the military for "transgenders" (deliberate quotes) nor any other type of child molesters.
