How would you accommodate a transgender subordinate in your unit?

When someone joins the military regardless of branch, they surrender themselves to the most regimented scrutiny and lifestyle beyond themselves. Any idea of self is gone. We have units, battalions, bigriades for a reason. We think as one and move as one. There is no such thing as individual ideology. You either conform, or you will be on point forever. No one person worth their weight in salt will risk their lives one someone who doesn't have the capacity to make a concrete decision, and act upon it. Feelings have no place in the military.

I have been retired almost 18 years, so I am not up to date on DOD regulations and policies. What regulation covers gender identity accommodations? If there isn’t any then report back to your squad leader. MISSION FIRST!

The U.S. Armed Services is not an accommodative institution. It is a society that is dependent upon Honor, Duty, Integrity and Selfless Service; if your in the military to forward a political agenda then you’re NOT practicing Selfless Service; you are in it for your own promotion…too much of that is going on throughout our nation’s services and society. Deviant Sexual Behavior is wrong and it needs to be addressed as such!

Since when did the military try to accommodate their personnel? Does this accommodation improve combat readiness? Does it improve the morale of the unit? Does it improve unit cohesiveness? If yes, then make accommodations. If not, then the mission of the military is compromised. I have my personal views of the answers to those questions.

Warning, I'm from the previous, previous generation. ( I served from 1973 to 2002. My father and uncles fought in WW2, my younger uncles fought in Korea, my brother fought in Vietnam.) Gender dysphoria is a mental illness and anyone with it should not be allowed in the services.

I would have the same respect for them as I would all my fellow soldiers. Because of they're choices or decisions, have nothing to do with my personal feelings or my beliefs. As a human being I have to respect the fact of who and what they are. A personal or should I say a person's decision is just that personal. Nothing more or less than.

Treat them as you would anybody else in your company or command

Being old school, an old fashioned blanket party would work real well to accommodate these highly confused individuals, their ilk will only bring ruination to the services and endanger our nations future.

Lol

Thank God i retired. Personally, I believe everybody who came under the false pretext that they were heterosexual when it was still not OK are criminals, and you should’ve been punished as such.
Clearly, under the UCMJ, they can’t be practicing homosexual’s. Otherwise, their admission would be guilty of crime under the articles.
