    I don't understand why people care so much about what other's do with their bodies. It doesn't make sense to me. You don't see how that might be a problem for you?

    Also, the military is grossly unappreciated and under-compensated. If trans people are getting a surgery out of the deal, then good for them. Ignoring that the military is the largest social welfare program America has, that's capitalism!

    If you're upset about costs, why aren't you mad at defense contractors making a killing? Does Cheney ring a bell? Some of you are trying to justify irrational and antiquated beliefs. Which you are welcome to have, but it doesn't change what they are.


    under-compensated??? Are you high? You sniffin' that Shinola???

    I worked for a defense contractor for 7 years. I'd still be there if they didn't start layoffs. The DoD is where the government spends the bulk of it's money. The military has a shitload of money for all manner of ? . The military will spend millions of dollars on projects they swear they want then, without warning or reason, change their mind and will abandon it. Money down the toilet bu they can do that 'cause they have so much of it. I've been on projects where we actually got ? built, had functional prototypes up and running, showed the ? off to brass and PMW146 and they were excited to see it working only to have 'em call us up like"we want to do something else. Document everything, pack it all up and stick it in storage". Millions of dollars in man hours down the tubes 'cause they want something shinier and newer.

    Nah b, DoD got money to burn.

    I don't see how what you just typed doesn't prove my point. Which is to say that this isn't really a money issue.

    And I stand by the statement that troops are under-compensated. This is evidenced by 1/3 of America's homeless being veterans.

    Transgenders in the army are more man or woman than any ? on the IC (unless you are also in the military)...

    So a man in the military who identifies as a woman is more man or is it more woman than any woman or man than any man on the IC

    you can transition from man to woman or woman to man.

    you big ? .

    actually, you can't. It's physically and biologically impossible.
    At the heart of the problem is confusion over the nature of the transgendered. "Sex change" is biologically impossible. People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women.

    Found a PDF of the article in the WSJ.

    https://couragerc.org/wp-content/uploads/TransgenderSurgery.pdf

    I dont give a damn about your articles B , if they wanna serve in the military and are good/decent at whatever skill they specialise in, i dont give a damn if she or he wants to be GI JOE or GI JANE. Coz a bullet snipin an insurgent or saving ya'll KFC loving fat ass americans from attacks docare about what gender is comes from.

    Fam... The guy that wrote the article has 40 years under his belt in trans-studies as it pertains to mental health. He's an acknowledged scholar in the field. He's the former head of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, the hospital that pioneered sex reassignment surgery back in the 60's only to stop doing them in the 70's because they did not produce the desired results. The article I linked has case study material as reference that says that we're going about this all wrong.

    He's got over 200 peer reviewed papers under his belt and has a career longer than you've likely been alive. IF there's anyone I'm going to listen to it's an acknowledged expert in the field, not some ? with baseless arguments on the internet.

    ? a damn transexual was on SEAL TEAM 6, one of the most elite military teams on the planet, pretty sure you gotta be mentally fit to even go anywhere near that squad, ? that article



    Look at the pics in the background.



    He was a man at the time he was on Seal Team 6..........not a ? .

    Soooooo.....do you think she just woke up one day and was like " hmmmm I think I'll be transgender today " like it's some kind of choice

    Or are you saying once someone leaves the military they lose their skills and ability for combat ? Cause male or female she was still a Navy Seal then and NOW




    No idea.



    All I said was that he was a man.........not a ? ............when he was on Seal Team 6.

    Why do you say that ? Because of what she is wearing ?

    Again you don't wake up one day and decide to be trans


    she was a transgender then and now



    Not exactly.



    "He" was a man then.........."he's" still a man now.



    Just a man whose undergone hormone therapy to give him more feminine features.



    Hormone therapy, that.........according to @Black_Samson ..........he didn't undergo until he was out of the service.



    Not while he was actively serving.

    its the mindset, were talking about not physical ? , which is why we saying it wasnt no overnight ? , ? was always prob in the back of the mind, they just waited, and if they mind was so ? up due to them being that way, then by that logic(mental illness)they wouldnt have been able to do theyre job..and in her case, do it good enough to be on seal team 6..or it very well could have been overnight..the point is, not enough research and studies to prove jack ?

    But that also means he wasnt on hormones at that time that we know of. And if hormones have any mental side effects he may not have been able to do his job as efficiently. He may not have even been on the field.

    Someone correct me if im wrong

    He retired in 2011. He started on hormones in 2013. The hormones do have mental side effects.

    Lol so ppl usin his military experience as point of reference when all the changes he made were after retirement???

    Smh

    To what extent? And if thats the case then why did they allow trans ppl to join in the 1st place? Its been said a dozen times over in this thread that theyre already serving, so obviously the effects have no bearing on ? , stop trying to defend this ? wit that wackass "mental illness" angle cause i bet your punk ass didnt give two ? when it first started happining

    My guy... If there were more effective services (a form of compensation) for veterans the result of military related trauma and stress disorders would almost certainly not be the issue that it is.

    There is only 2700 registered trans people in the military (edit: I keep seeing the number 15,000) we really going to act like money is the issue here? 600 billion a year on all types of ? , but trans peoples' healthcare needs are too much?

    Simple and plain, this is a way to dehumanize trans people.

    I'm not saying that you're doing this, but it's telling when everyday people become allies of the state to oppose other oppressed groups.

    This is just the beginning of ? coming down the pipe line from this regime and who is to say that your dignity and right to exist isn't next on the agenda?

    I try to look at all things as objectively as I can, so my 2 cents doesn't have much to do with my feelings on Trump or trannies.

    So my first question is, is the ban constitutional? I don't know the answer, but the answer seems to be no. Therefore, I don't support the decision.

    Besides that, a million other relevant questions could be asked, so it's a complicated issue, imo. Of course, at the end of the day, we (or most of us) just want our military to be competent, regardless.

    Oh, and this whole issue is going to be ridiculously blown out of proportion. We continue to live in the twilight zone...

    MtF trans lose their combat effectiveness. Beck was a DEVGRU operator(Navy). Alana McLaughlin/Ryan was a Special Forces operator(Army). They would not be able to do what they did now, physically, since undergoing HRT and gender reassignment surgery.

    Now FtM trans would be more combat effective than would otherwise. Look at the effect taking male hormones had on Cris Cyborg.

    What's your stance on the trannys trans people allowed in women's restrooms thing?

    I think it's a stupid non issue.

    U dont think its an issue to have biological males in the same restrooms as young girls?

    The thing with this question tho is if a transgender who wants to be a woman and is attracted to men goes into a womens bathroom then females dont turn them on.

    It would actually be the hetero male perverts that might try some ? (put on a wig/skirt?) with females in the womens room.

    So the problem there isnt necessarily transgendered ppl, its hetero males taking advantage of a law for transgendered ppl

    Its getting more complicated. I have served in the army. I got some ? AND LESBIANS brothers and sisters in arm. Highly professional, SANE. The ? dude was masculine all day till his ' man ' comes picking him up. Same for the ? . She didnt acted masculine, she was here to serve as a FEMALE SOLDIER.

    Now you got men and women WHO SEE THEMSELVES DIFFERENTLY FROM WHO THEY REALLY ARE BIOLOGICALLY and forcing us to believe in their DELIRIUM to the point that we have to let them go to whatever ? room and taking tax payers money to change their body.

    So i see it this way : either you make a total hormonal and sex change or you ? to the shrink. ? that GENDER FLUID ? aka im 28 yo man but i think this month that im 6 yo girl and want to play with little girls, but next month im a NO GENDER.

    One is most likely tied to brain chemistry which is out of your control...the other is just somebody being stupid as ? which is completely in your control

    so why is the guy that believes he's Jesus committed to an insane asylum and not the man that believes he's a woman?

    Both are tied to brain chemistry.

    Because one can function in a normal society.
