Breaking news right now so no link yet...

Another win for equality in my opinion.

Oh no. Their bathroom situation is going to get confusing.

That's going to be a shit storm

Australia does it, England does it, Israel does it. If anyone has a problem with it, that's on them. Be a man and be secure in your own masculinity.

This. Plus it's not like there's a large number of transgender folk trying to get into the armed forces.

Preop or post op? Cause that shit's gonna be confusing as fuck when trying to assign them properly in basic training.

So progressive!

So would male to female trannies have to pass the female standard physical test or the male one?

How about the female to male people?

Yes

I used to go to counseling here at the Austin VA weekly and at the same time a transgender veteran group would meet. It was a pretty good size group.

I think the military is inviting trouble by doing this. It's not a good idea to recruit mentally ill people. Their suicide rate is already high.

Will trannies join so they can have their surgery paid for? Is the military going to provide all the counseling needed to hold back the depression and suicidal thoughts. War is hard enough on the normal population.

And do the females to males get to use testosterone to help them pass the physical tests? And in war, will they always have access to the testosterone medication to help them perform?

You must have had the surgery for at least 18 months before they will accept you. Typical response from you btw

Females to male use testosterone to transition so yes. But you asked a good question, how will this work in combat zones? I think it's just a shot every two weeks so it's not such a huge deal, same thing with any other soldier doing TRT.

I was wondering how the military deals with all the sick christians they have to deal with. You know those people who believe in a magic sky man. The ones with the higher divorce rates than atheists and the ones with higher %'s of domestic abuse. War is hard enough on the normal population

NPR cites a UCLA study that states there are over 15,000 currently serving. It seems high, but who the fuck knows. I worked in mental health in the army and I never met one.

I can't listen to it right now but does it say anything about the majority being ftm? I think it's safe to assume that but I would like to know the numbers.
