Transgender troop ban faces scrutiny by commission
The Associated Press via The Virginian-Pilot ^ | March 14, 2014 | Lisa Leff

An independent commission led by a former U.S. surgeon general has concluded there "is no compelling medical reason" for the U.S. armed forces to prohibit transgender Americans from serving and that President Barack Obama could lift the decades-old ban without approval from Congress, according to a report being released Thursday.

The report said Department of Defense regulations designed to keep transgender people from joining or remaining in the military on the grounds of psychological and physical unfitness are based on outdated beliefs that require thousands of current service members either to leave the service or to forego the medical procedures and other changes that could align their bodies and gender identities.

Reading further down, the former U.S. surgeon general is Joycelyn Elders.

Mainstreaming so-called transgender people is definitely the next item on the agenda.

When a country has descended so far as to make Sodom seem moral, nothing should surprise us.

I served for 28 years in the military, retiring in 2004... But I’ll be damned if I ever recommend military service to anyone. No damned way.

We already have at least one example of how transgender and wannabe-transgender soldiers are as solid, balanced, and trushworthy as any other soldiers:

As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition. I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility). I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back

Everything they do, how they act and HOW THEY THINK is all based on sex.

Perverse, is simply a different avenue that, is interchanged with the normal.

This is evil.

The mental state of a tranny in normal life is a nightmare add a life and death senario to this and you will have many dead soldiers. The bigger picture is the deliberate destruction of the many foundations of this country by the enemies within.

This is a bad idea if the military has to pay for the operations/drugs that bring about the trans. If somebody signs up with everything already in place (or gone) and is indistinguishable physically and emotionally from normal people of the chosen sex, maybe it could work under a don’t ask-don’t tell rule (and why would a recruit tell anyone she didn’t start out as a woman but was once a man?). The remaining problem would be the preexisting medical condition: The trans will have to take hormones for the rest of his or her life to maintain the chosen sex and that could be difficult under battlefield conditions. Surely wiser heads will prevail and transgender will be designated as a medical condition like severe asthma or type 1 diabetes, precluding a career in the Armed Forces.

If we do go to war over Ukraine, I hope we put these freaks on the front line.

Homosexualists cannot donate blood. Men and women in the battlefield deserve better.

Homosexualists cannot donate blood ...
Yes. And for good reason.

But that is likely to change (for bad reason).

Gay men push to end 30-year blood donation ban
