Transgender service members serving openly what are your thoughts?

It's happening whether one likes it or not and it won't stop there.

The National Anthem will soon officially be replaced with "I've Got to Be Me." at a date and time to be determined.

We used to be a force to be reckoned with. Now we don't even know the sex of the person serving beside us. To answer your question, hell no. He should be out-processed for wasting valuable time and energy of training to fight and defend. Who is paying for the change, Tricare, ACA? Why should my tax dollars be used for this if this is the case? Is this person making the change on government time or personal time? It better not be government time. There is enough waste and abuse of tax dollars the way it is. Now back to this transgender crap. Many will argue that it shouldn't matter, I say it does. Put a person who used to be a male in a shower full of women or a person who used to be a woman in a shower full of men, and let those instincts they were born with kick in. That could be the crime of voyeurism or perversion if you think about it. You can have all the plastic surgery and hormone treatments you want. You are still whatever God intended you to be. If we are so big on accepting transgender personnel, then why don't we save the military and the taxpayers a whole bunch of money and just make the military one big commune where there are no separate restrooms or bunk areas? God help us. We are a sick society.

There's a plethora of these topics already. I'd merge but I'm on mobile. this 'problem' is easily solved by true equality and uniformity, in pt standards, in performance, uniform and grooming standards.

There are millions of Americans that ate sitting on their lazy asses at home but you choose to make fun and dehumaniz you brothers and sisters just because you don't like the way they live. They will gladly take a bullet for you because they are your sisters and brothers. That is one reason the military has gone down hill because they spend too much time hating on their siblings Rather loving and caring for them.

I find it odd that everyone's complaining & questioning who's paying for these medical expenses and when are they going to these appointments, is it really anyone's business? I don't know all of what Tricare covers on something like this but if they cover if, good for them! These transgender soldiers go to work every day just like you & I, they deserve the same benefits everyone else does. Do you go to your appointments during the work day (I'm sure you do), do you hear anyone else bitching because you went to go have your teeth cleaned during duty hours? No, then why complain about their appointments, they're entitled to the same privileges.

I read an interesting aricle recently. Talked about why Johns Hopkins stopped performing the surgery. This article was published in. Religious magazine, but was written from a clinical perspective. It basically stated that the problems faced by a pre-op person did not go away after the surgery. If anything they got worse.

Or ANY uniform?

It is difficult for me to come to terms with all of this. It seems to me that serving in the military is a privilege, not a right. We serve(d) to fulfill the needs of the military, not our own personal needs.

Just what legitimate military need calls for having soldiers with mental issues?

If they can kick arse, who cares?

Is this the hot topic for RP? Has Bruce Jenner made this so cool. there are two genders. And I don't care how so Bozo on Goole says that ther are more than fifty. If a man wants to mutalate himself and have his penis removed he is not brave or courageous. the military is not a place for social experiments. And you cannot change your DNA. And you can not do it from hormone shots, some plastic surgery or two snips to the penis. You know this should not even be an issue.
