Right Wing: "The military isn't about feelings, it's about doing your job."
Also the Right Wing: "What about The feelings of people who don't like transgenders? How can you expect someone to do their job if there is a woman with a penis in the unit???"

CPT Swanston, or you could just not worry yourself about what other people look like naked. I personally don't feel comfortable serving alongside a pervert who has nothing better to do than worry about what my genitals look like.

The article just uses the slide as an excuse to write a bunch of BS about transexuality, trying to essentially claim the long debunked idea that it is nothing more than a mental disease.
As to the slide itself, the part about all soldiers treating each other with dignity and respect is the key to this whole issue. If soldiers, as they should, recognize and act like each person is a part of the team, and you support your fellow team members, ie. "Have each other's back", then this would create little disruption at all. Soldiers would naturally find a way to make sure everyone was comfortable. It is only those who try to pit soldiers against each other, who encourage soldiers to look at their transgender teammates as the enemy, that espouse that there is an insurmountable issue here.
Just like the predicted great exodus of soldiers and marines from the military never occurred when gays were allowed to serve openly (remember those insisting that soldiers would refuse to shower with gays because they didn't want the gays ogling them?" ) so too will this end up being a tempest in a teapot.

SSG Jacey R. - Yes Ma'am, you are welcome. I definitely do not understand the topic or the right way to even start addressing it. As a former BSB Commander, I can see some issues that could eventually arise and just how if handled improperly will cause individual and unit harm. I doubt Commanders will address issues at first and will need a rep at Division or Corps to come in and assist.

How will commanders address spouses and defendants in on post facilities? Gyms, hospitals, schools, etc. I have given this brief countless times, this is the one concern brought up, and no matter how many times I ask commanders and higher agencies they tell them they will work on it.
