I don’t think so. Really, they are confused, and/or mentally ill people who for whatever reason, do not want to be their own sex.

It is sad really. They are to be pitied. I personally know a young man who has suffered from severe anti-male abuse from his mother all of his life. The woman constantly complained about, insulted and made fun of men within earshot of this young boy from his earliest memories. She is married but hates men. Her husband just ignored her insults, by becoming detached from the family...further isolating the boy from a male role model, and seemingly validating the insults. Friends tried to talk to her, but she just brushed it off as ‘teasing’. But, I heard that boy cry and cry when someone said he was going to be a big man someday. A man is the last thing he wanted to be, because his mommy didn’t respect them or seem to like them.

The boy always wanted to be a girl, because boys were so “gross” and “dirty”. He dressed in girl clothes and tried to play quiet and nice, with dolls, because that is what his mom always upheld as ‘good’. Boys were “loud, violent and destructive”! It is very, very sad. Very sad. He is a tortured soul, now that his mom wants him to act more like a man, and girls are not attracted to him, and guys don’t want him around. It is horrible.

So, please be kind. Many people are carrying a heavy burden.

“Many people are carrying a heavy burden.”

That is so true; and there is not enough love of the unselfish kind in this world.

Just more proof. It’s not about service and country.

It’s all about them, love me! celebrate me! and to force damaging policy on the vast majority of American.s

It is’nt about tolerence. They have that.

They have deep seated mental issues dealing with themselves, so rather then look inward.. it’s forcing everyone else to go along with “LGBT rights” or whatever so they can feel good. This of course will not solve their mental problems.

But the problem is their serious mental illness/ perversion is now being pushed as a normal thing and everyone else will soon be forced to acecpt the display of their mental illness/perversion as right as rain.

Should a schizophrenic or other psychotic be told “You’re fine as you are and we celebrate your delusions”? Or be told to seek help?

Yup, the crap sandwhich has not only G and L, but B and T. Bisexual and Transgendered. So, these mentally ill perverts are next in line for not only "recognition" and "acceptance" but the real goal - "ruling everyone else".

OK, we recognize that you are mentally ill, mutilated human beings. Now, go away.

None of these people are just happy to be “accepted” or “tolerated”...they want to be paraded around and showed off to everyone everywhere and they want anyone who doesn’t like it arrested or put away.

THAT is their agenda. It’s about control. That’s the part that makes me sick. This proverbial can of worms was opened several years ago.

Something I have discovered is that many people don’t want to get to know other people who have a psychiatric illness.Being bipolar is very difficult,especially when people don’t want to get to know me.They don’t want to see past my illness and get to know me as a person.They’d rather blow me off.

Oh, I have to say I agree. The kid I know isn’t mentally ill, he is scarred. And would probably work it out sooner rather than later, if there were not people telling him that he is normal!

I am sorry to hear that. Certainly does make dealing with your condition all the more difficult.

I do hope you have some sort of support, family or close friends. Because I just have to say, that when you need some work done around the house, say, getting ready for a garage sale or something, it is quite helpful to have a friend who is in the manic stage of their BP condition! ;)..(just kidding...my daughter also has this condition...ya gotta have a sense of humour about it, because there is not much else helps, eh?)

“pushed as a normal thing” . . You are right about that. Leftists think they’re standing up for civil rights equally and see themselves as champions for the poor and downtrodden. Only, they’ve thrown away all common sense in doing what they “think” is right. - The military is not the place to do social experiments and play around with mental hangups. Discrimination is GONNA happen, even in the best of all possible worlds. I’m old and overweight; the military discriminates against me. Boo Hoo. There are people who believe the scriptures that homosexuality is against God’s laws; forcing them to smile and nod is about all the Democrats are gonna get out of most of us - me, no smiles will be forthcoming.

I do have people who are supportive,but it’s still difficult because there are those who just don’t want to understand it.Hell,I don’t entirely understand it myself.I take my meds because I could not live a normal life without them.

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.

That is a gross insult to all women.

I am sure that Autumn was not his name when he was in the Navy, and he did not earn that rank or those medals as a transgender sailor named Autumn. He was a male sailor with a male name.

He would not even be allowed in the military now either as a man or a woman due to his obvious medical mental health and physical disqualifications.

Looking at the photo he is holding, I would say that he should have stayed a man.

Or if this is something that he felt he just had to do, then he should have just got his sex change operation and then after that live his life as low key as possible. If he hated his male self that much he should not be referring to his past as a male sailor by calling himself a veteran and showing the picture of himself as a male sailor.

And he should not be wearing a woman's uniform. Maybe at 51 he can't fit into his old uniform, but if he is going to get one a specially made uniform to wear to dress up in it should be a male uniform. He has no right to wear a woman's uniform.

It seems that he wants to play make believe like he can create some alternate time line where he was a female sailor.

By doing this he is insulting to the military and the women who are serving - or have served - in the military.
