most who claim to be transgendered only do hormone treatment and some never do anything but make the claim.....I have no problem with a guy that feels he should be a she....but if they want to live as anything other then a guy and do any of the medical treatments they are in the wrong place.

Where did you come up with that stat? What about those who have gone thru the entire surgical process?

I have no problem with a guy that feels he should be a she.

I have a problem with people with mental illnesses being in the military.

but if they want to live as anything other then a guy and do any of the medical treatments they are in the wrong place.

I assume by the wrong place, you mean the military. I could care less what they do in other walks of life. But that is not the issue or subject of this thread.

“trans” = people who want to have sex with the same sex. No more, no less.

I was under the impression (wrongly?) that the military didn't accept or retain people who needed daily medication (insulin, for example). How can you be part of a battle-ready, deployable-anywhere force if you require access to daily hormone therapy?

I’d say that someone who thinks it is OK for a he to claim he is a she and take hormones to sort of look like a she is too flexible and does not know boundaries or consider the negative implications of the agreement but that would be judgmental.

I also don’t see any upside in this agreement for the majority involved or affected and so don’t see any reason to inconvenience the majority for the spurious benefit of the minority.

I’d say that anyone who thinks they are transgendered are a bubble off and don’t belong with the majority of men in a military environment who know they are men and for a long list of other very good reasons.

But hell, that’s just to black and white and what the hell do I know.
