Why are we letting freaks and weirdos hold our society hostage?
Are you serious? What are you talking about? I don't understand your question, it doesn't make any sense. Did you read and understand the article you posted? I don't think you understood it.
How could any other country's written military report policies be any of American society's business and how could their reporting policies in any way be holding your own society hostage?
Seriously ..... how could somebody else's official reporting policies have any effect on your own society when it has nothing to do with your society?
The reports in question, had you bothered to read the previous post showing the exact memo in question, you would realized they're not "reports" - they are Personal Performance Reviews only written when promotions are pending.
No one's going to get killed over a letter of recommendation using the pronoun "their" or "they" versus "he" or "she" to describe their performance.
There is no confusion resulting from a use of a different pronoun to describe the performance of the same person.
One never knows these things for certain - one thing I've learnt from business and managing people, is not to create systemic ambiguity within a system.

(sigh) And so this daffyness creeps further in. I dont even understand how transgenders can serve in a military. A wo.an who "identifies" as a man is still a woman and not as physically capable as real men.
A man who "identifies" as a woman is basically worthless from a military standpoint because among male soldiers he will spend more energy trying to be the woman he is not than doing his job.
Yes, I'm saying these daffy nutcases are worthless in military service. Their presence is merely a political/social statement and they are uninterested in actual service anyway.
They are nothing but a divisive and unneeded presence that are only there to serve the social agenda of a very small group of people. They are not in uniform to serve their country.
Just wearing the clothes and adopting the mannerisms of either sex by and opposite member of either sex and claiming "identity" does NOT make adopting and claiming change the way they were born. One is either male or female. And the body you are in is what you are.

You make it sound like Canada is on another planet.

"They" (meaning Canadians) aren't doing what they want. Their rulers are forcing it on them.
Canadians don't have "rulers." They have "elected officials." Who, naturally, can lose their jobs at the next election, if they're forcing things upon Canadians, that Canadians don't want.
Should anyone have the expectation that the Canada subforum is an international board?
Yes, I think they should.
It is true that the Canada subforum is populated mainly by Canadians, who discuss Canadian issues and politics and current events and local matters among themselves. But in my experience, it is certainly open to non-Canadians who have genuine questions about Canada and Canadians, or who can contribute to existing threads there. Often, their queries are interesting and allow us to give travel advice, as well as to dispel myths and misunderstandings that many foreigners have about Canada. At other times, their contributions help us to understand conditions and challenges in their lands, that perhaps we just didn't understand before.
In the Canada subforum, we can and have experienced foreign posters who have attempted to put down Canada and Canadians in some way. I won't list examples, NDG; you know very well what has often happened in the Canada subforum when a foreigner tries to tell us about our system of government, our so-called accent, our military, or our healthcare, among other things.
In short, I think that the Canada subforum ought to be open to non-Canadians who are genuinely curious, and who have interesting things to contribute. Even if we run the risk of a nuisance foreigner who tries to tell us things we know are not true about us and our country, I think being able to set the record straight on misunderstandings and myths--especially to those non-Canadians who read but rarely or never post in the Canada subforum--is valuable. That's why I believe that the Canada subforum, like the other non-US subforums, should be open to all.
