This has been a nightmare for the military. Thousands of pages of regulations are being rewritten because of the decision to admit transgenders. It has really complicated almost every aspect of the military and wasted a lot of resources. Everything from building codes for military barracks to fitness standards.
At what point does a male transitioning to a female have to meet female fitness standards?
At what point do they have to meet appearance standards?
What uniform do they wear and at what point in the transition to they wear it.
What happens when someone addresses their commanding officer using the wrong pronoun?
If someone is transitioning to a different gender, should they be forced to go to war when there are no medical facilities available for their “problem”?
How do you treat them when they’re in the field?
Do they have separate bunking and latrine facilities?
Agreed. If someone under false pretenses gets to imagine themselves a different sex and everyone else is ordered to play along to appease them, why not rank?
Privates can imagine themselves Generals and everyone else has to play along?
It simply has no business in a vitally important organization.
That's an easy one: "Aye aye, Captain". Or Commander, or Lieutenant...
Plus thousands of dollars for misfits who don't belong in regimented circumstances anywhere.
