Well, based on some of the searches I came across the percentage of people that trans gendered is around 0.3 %.

So the other 99.7% has to basically modify their use of language and how they deal with others to appease a tiny percentage of people.

Seems odd to me. If someone I know asks me to use neutral pronouns when addressing them, I will do my best to be accommodating, but I don't care to change my language in the general sense in the rare chance I come across someone who's trans.

You fail to see that asking people to change their understand and use of the English language to appease ridiculous ideologies is an issue?

Just the fact that it was even ADDRESSED is a problem since it's not something that needs addressing and certainly nothing the Armed Forces should be spending a second thinking about.

Does this mean that Manitoba should now be called Themitoba?

I can see this stuff coming from the universities and colleges, but it is surprising that the Military is pushing this nonsense.

Canada has been kooky and overly far left progressive for a long time now.

Who knew using the word individuals instead of men or women would trigger so many people?

LOL. Individuals. That's rich. That's the first thing the military takes from you, your individualism. Rightfully so. And the last thing any military member wants to hear is what your @*^$ing pronouns are.

By their rank; it ain't rocket science. The lower ranks have been doing it for a millennia.

Why are we letting freaks and weirdos hold our society hostage?
That's Canada.

America has Donald Trump and the Southern Baptist Church to ensure this never happens here.
