End of ‘don’t ask’ policy for gays raising hope
SAN FRANCISCO — Before handcuffing herself to the White House fence, former Petty Officer 1st Class Autumn Sandeen carefully pinned three rows of Navy ribbons to her chest. Her regulation dress blue skirt, fitted jacket, hat, and black pumps were new — fitting for a woman who spent two decades serving her country as a man.
Sandeen was the only transgender person among the six veterans arrested in April while protesting the military’s ban on openly gay troops. But when she watched President Obama sign the hard-fought bill allowing for the ban’s repeal, melancholy tinged her satisfaction.
"This is another bridesmaid moment for the transgender community," the 51-year-old San Diego resident said.
The "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy now heading toward history does not apply to transgender recruits, who are automatically disqualified as unfit for service. But the military’s longstanding posture on gender identity has not prevented transgender citizens from signing up before they come out, or from obtaining psychological counseling, hormones, and routine health care through the Department of Veterans Affairs once they return to civilian life.

I recognize transgenders for what they are: perverts.
He/she should have adhered to the philosophy of Popeye The Sailor, who famously remarked, “I am what I am.”
It’s a bizarre world we live in. Years ago, someone with such obvious issues could deal with it but not have to broadcast to the world about their issues, and expect liberal sympathy for same. I just don’t get it sometimes.
“does not apply to transgender recruits”
Gay activist don’t care about transgender.
Get this creep a shrink!!
OK, I recognize them as people who need psychiatric treatment, at least.
and expect liberal sympathy for same. I just don’t get it sometimes.
It is called perversion and, along with the perverts, liberal embrace it.
I’m gonna puke.
Shrinks are on his side.
I bought some oranges at the supermarket. I cut the skin off and used some food coloring to paint them red. They are now apples.
Honorable service can be undone by subsequent actions.
I provide for my prime reference John McKennedy, God’s proof that Obama level stupidity is not unique or limited to the dimbulb party.
I careth not for this person’s sexual “whatever”.
I just hope that they go away.
Far away.
So, now this is supposed to be something to celebrate? Lying faggots who went through their service under false conditions? Has the statute of limitations expored?
How can we recognize you if we can’t...recognize you?
And let’s be honest. There are enough ugly natural women out there without making any artificial ones.
Go away!
What’s with transgender? He’s a castrated guy with a wig. No amount of surgery or hormone injections is going to turn a grown man into a woman.
We now see this in TV with any grouping of people being considered as a 'family'
We should celebrate when a mentally ill man convinces a physician to mutilate him? This is what the Dems consider progress? No, thank you. He’s a mentally ill military veteran, and we should be grateful for his service, but that gratitude should take the form of helping him, not celebrating his delusions.
The military should put all the queers in the same unit, send them to the fiercest fighting, repeat as necessary.
I don’t get it either. Why would a gay man, a man who prefers men be attracted to a guy who has had his torcher cut off and is now a very ugly woman? Why do guys who are supposedly attracted to guys, dress up as females? And since they do that, doesn’t that show that there is something wrong?
Also, their refrain is always, “accept me as I am”...how can we do that, when they don’t? Isn’t this the ultimate in rejecting who and what you are?
