Yes, sir! Male symbol on lapel. (Mars) Circle with arrow pointing outward.

Yes, her! Female symbol on lapel. (Venus) Circle with cross pointing outward.

Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Double Male (Two arrows) Circle with two arrows pointing outward. Or, one pointing outward and one pointing inward.

Yes, her! Yes, her! Double Female (Two crosses) Circle with two crosses pointing outward. Or . . I dunno.

Yes, sir! Yes her! Tranny - Female to Male (Circle with cross pointing inward and arrow pointing outward) Or, any combination of both pointing inward or outward.

Slight improvement with typo fix.

Phonetically, it all comes out Yes, sir, anyway.

I'm really quite curious where all of the "heel wearers" comments are coming from, except to be a parody of themselves. One would expect that most transgendered people who would want to join the military are female to male.

My best friend had Turner's syndrome. Phenotypically, she's female. In reality, she's neither here nor there. We have another friend who was born with two sets of gentalia and his parents picked female. They picked wrong - now he's ftm transgendered because he had to go through a lot of surgery and hormone treatments to fix it. These people, if they had any interest, would be barred from the military. They aren't transgendered in the sense many think. In fact, you probably are friends with a few transexual people and your kids probably play with them all the time. It's fairly common.

The sexual proclivity of a soldier is irrelevant. The only thing that counts is they follow orders and cover each other backs in a fight.
