Well, there is who they are and then again......there is who they think they are. It is like men who become women who then think they are entirely part of 'that community' but they aren't because they didn't grow up with the restrictions of being a woman.

These women are still women, so no worries.

Only the disposable members of a society make good soldiers.

Males born into wealthy/connected families (especially white ones) and all females are valuable to the society that spawned them.

It's a really big problem if something bad happens to one of these individuals.

When it comes time to spend their lives, as we have done so many times in the past when it was poor males lacking connections to the upper echelons of unearned privilege, we will hesitate.

Assuming she is ever deployed in a real ****ing war, her two moms will have a **** fit and we will concede early, lest we lose princess, the rich guy she wants to marry and/or her sorority sisters.

Do you tell every person you meet the point at which you became sexually active? Tell everybody you meet the moment you knew you want to screw that person over there because you are so different from everyone else?

No? Why not?

Some people never get the point.

If YOU aren't comfortable with yourself? That's YOUR problem. not mine. And no amount of validation from ME will change YOUR self esteem. Gotta do that yourself. Can't help you with that.

I don't understand what stereotype she is supposed to be shattering.

Gay culture/media attention is so prevalent that a recent poll showed that Americans think 25% of the world is gay, when it's more like 2%.

So .... if everyone thinks there are a billion gays all around ... what else needs to be done?

The CIA recruitment series was launched under Trump.

2020 was the best recruitment year for analysts and operatives in history, despite the pandemic.

Why not have ads that promote men to join, and more important than that, appeal to a much broader audience? After all, we need a military made of mostly men. They do the heaviest fighting and should. Women are absolutely needed and very valuable, but this pandering to a VERY SMALL MINORITY is sickening. Leave it to the government to waste taxpayer money.
