Transgender Service Members: Serving in Silence

Despite the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010', transgender people are still banned from serving in the military. To this day, if it is discovered that any service man or woman identifies as a transgender, he or she would be separated from serving. Do you think this is fair? Should transgendered individuals be accepted for military service?

OKAY my understanding is that a woman who has "transitioned" to being man (or the man who has gone the opp direction) actually really wants you and I to go along with the decision. So if they bring behavior in line with the external appearance why then should their service be anything other than "silent"??

The Military Services need to explain what transgender is, to be truthful no one in High School, Military or College, ever explain who these people are, I see them but don't truly know who they are. In 1973 the USMC while deployed to the Phillippines, told us to stay clear of transgender people, that a marine woke up married to one and killed him. Question, do he use the female bathroom or the male, does he marry same sex or is they heterosexual. I can't say its unfair until I know enough about them. What I'm saying is when you they mother birth them, and the Doctor recorded on there birth certificate male or female, what changed from being a baby until and adult, in which there mother and Doctor pronounce there sex. I've always been a man I never get tired of being a man, anything else I would be living a lie.

Interesting that 90% of them are male to female. Does that say anything about the transgender mentality?
I am all for them serving. If you want to serve and you can do so properly, who am I to say otherwise.

CPT Zachary Brooks, don't forget about the sea monkeys, right?
As far as food choices and quality...hmmm...the effects on the developing fetus? I'm not sure. I guess we'd have to study some qualitative research on the health of newborns over the years. My thoughts would be, if that is a possible contribution, we'd see a rise in birth defects as well, UNLESS the chemicals in these processed foods is somehow interfering with neuro-development alone. That's damn interesting.
Additionally, what about the wide world of medications people are taking? Some meds, like Glucophage, for diabetes, causes a lower testosterone level in women. Tie this in with obesity and cheap, fatty foods...and, well, I have to wonder too, if there may be some type of correlation going on. I have to think about this for a while...

SGT (Join to see) Consider this one: Something is making girls hit puberty sooner and leading to more issues later in life. This is mostly happening more often in say American women than in rural Chinese women. This may be due to environmental factors, food, etc (some are outlined in the link below). This early puberty is likely due to unnatural amounts of chemicals in the body, which may lead to individuals feeling that they are in the wrong body. So likely a higher amount of estrogen has caused a developed male to feel that he is in the wrong body, all of which caused by some environmental factor.

Factors Behind Early Puberty in Girls
Know the factors triggering early puberty in girls, which is now a growing public health concern due to its possible adverse effects later in life.

CPT Zachary Brooks, quite possibly. And if we go back a little further, back to the embryonic stage, we may see a similar causation of the developing fetal brain.
Or...these precocious females, who of course, are born with all of the eggs they are ever going to have, are later producing babies who have, due to chemical exposure, are predisposed to hormonal imbalances.
The experts aren't sure about the reasons for precocious puberty, according to the article. I'm fairly certain that the correlation between this and transgenderism is possible. It may not be a causation, but we are looking at the physiological angle.

Just chiming in on the Captain, articles on young girls puberty, watch for Chicken McNuggets, and other chicken products, these chickens are being pumped with chemicals, to make a chick to grow to a full blown adult chicken in six weeks, those chemicals also enters the child, and the same results happened puberty. our food is no longer safe no more but we have to eat, science is doing a lot of things with food now to mass produce for the almighty dollar, lots of food is generic and not the real thing, but life has come so fast pace that free range chicken is not available but to costly. Meats are being substitute at the cost of injuring its customer, take a look at how prevalent cancer is now, its all in the food, but no one wants to admit it. We are in a world today that don't care.

I hate to have to point this out but, if "Transgendered" people are allowed to serve, then the Military ( We the People) will be responsible for ALL their "Care". That would, inevitably, open the door for those who wish to "Transition", to join just for the "Free" medical. Can't afford a "Transition"? Just join the military. I DON'T THINK SO. If they are serious about "Serving" they will meet the Military's requirements. It is NOT up to the Military to meet their requirements. Which we ALL know will, sooner than later, become DEMANDS.

It matters because transgender servicemembers are non deployable due to the sensitive nature of their illness such as constant hormone therapy. They’re a liability to the department of defense as a whole.

I try not to push my opinions on others in civilian life, but that said, Trans is a mental issue, and we need the toughest and strongest people, mentally and physically, in the armed forces. This isn't an online game where you can get another life, or start over.

Do say it is fair. Thinking science and biology: removing genitals and taking on entirely different gender role impacts one both mentally and physically. Especially when sound of judgment is already modified from such sex change procedure. Physical changes from requiring to take pills to change hormone levels prior to recieving a gential from a donor to be attached after the original genital at birth is removed. Such individual would not be 100% effective neither from their original gender at birth and the new role of gender they sought to become. The military is designed for warfare and operations, not Make-A-Wish department for those seeking new identities, fashion statement and makeovers. In the past, we had boys who became Men by lying about their age to served during wartimes while knowing what they're getting themselves into. Today, we have those lying while entering service to change the military into a drag fashion show, hot dog eating contest and pillow fights. Transgender is indeed self mutilation.

No!!! They are mentally ill. Anybody that thinks they are the opposite sex is sick in the head.
