Surprised to see this crowd believing in science.

This is not really news- anybody that doesn't know what sex they are obviously has a mental disorder.

I could keep going, but you see what you just said there, right?
I don't agree with his point, but this is a poor rebuttal to what he said. These are not surgeries given to someone with a chemical imbalance in their mind. All of these are purely cosmetic (and in many cases not covered by health insurance).

Plus the big issue with the military is many of these sickoids join up and while in go through the sex change operations and/or on drugs used for the gender transition. For one, it costs money, tax payer money for this, including tax payer money spent to add additional service members filling in while the person is getting the operation and/or on the medications.

That's the primary purpose these types go into the military. They want a job that once "hired", they can then have their employer (US Government) pay for their sex change. I'm plenty tired of this stuff. It's high time we boot this sort of nonsense completely out of the system.

This has been proven false. Military spends more on Viagra than on transgender health care. So why aren't you up in arms about all the people joining military to get Viagra?

This is a POLITICAL decision NOT an economic one nor one that's best for the country

Viagra? Wow, I didn't know they gave that out. I served active duty for six years and not once did I hear of this. We didn't need Viagra anyways. After a six month cruise just the wind blowing the right way got us all worked up and ready to hit the port.

I would like to hear of true examples of transgenders joining the military so they can get operations to change their gender. Waiting...

As it stands, I don't know much about this and I'm sick and tired of the silly bathroom discussions. The few transgenders that there are do not need special bathrooms built just for them. And the few transgenders that there are should serve in the military if they want to. You want these wars against terrorists? Then we have to find as many fighters as we can get. During wars in the distant past we seemed to take just about anyone, even 15 year old kids. So what's all this fuss about now.

Again, https://tgmentalhealth.com/basic-iss...mental-health/ and Gender Dysphoria: What It Is and How It's Treated Can you explain the difference between someone that is transgender who thinks they are the opposite sex and someone with gender dysphoria who thinks they are the opposite sex.

Not sure if you are familiar with biology but a female is more than larger breasts and a vagina, so maybe if we discuss a 3rd sex, transgendered, it would make more sense. I am a woman. I don't "feel" like a woman, I am biologically a female, chromosomally. No male has yet to become a female. So, are we talking a 3rd sex?

I don't think we are concerned about what another person does with their body (for me, the exception is abortion where it harms another). The issue becomes the attempted force being applied to make us get on the liberal bandwagon and announce it is "normal".

And, a group of people trying to force me to accept something that is not true is affecting me personally. Isn't that what showers, dressing rooms and bathrooms is doing?

I have no issue with establishing a 3rd choice - transgendered. They can have their own facilities just like males and females, but it is my understanding that they are not "comfortable" with that.

I don't like the name calling that is done here in regard to transgendered people. I do feel that is wrong and childish. The issue should be addressed as an issue, medical and social.
What part of "I have more than one college degree" leads you to believe I don't understand biology? LOL.

Trans people know that they are not "biologically" the gender that they feel they are from a psychological perspective.

A great deal of our gender identity is tied to what we feel comfortable with and not what our chromosomes say or what our genitals were at birth.

You do not have to think it's NORMAL to be transgendered. It's not NORMAL for YOU.

Hell, it's not for me, either. I'm female and I have female genitals and reproductive organs.

But, that doesn't mean that I should be critical of others. Frankly, this bathroom stuff has been talked to death and you've been using bathrooms with trans people for all your life and never knowing it, so why does it bother you to know it now?

Women's rooms have stalls. Do other women see your genitals when you go to the ladies' room? I cannot say as any have seen mine, because there are stalls and doors.

Eh. It's a huge "nothing" for all of us who are comfortable with our genitals, organs, and birth gender.

Why do we have to do anything but just live our lives and let them live theirs?

Is it that painful to admit that some people are just DIFFERENT THAN YOU?

And, that's okay.

People don't need to tolerate everything they see. There cases and cases.

Transsexuals have a mental disease, this is factual. People with mental diseases do not belong into the military. So why should this be different?
Nope. It's not.
