“Stupidity is also a gift from God, but one mustn’t misuse it.” Pope St. John Paul II
I guess the concept of deviant/pathological obsessive behavior and running a highly disciplined tight knit armed force are not mutually exclusive or divergent interests. But then, this is the “math is hard” and “smart kids are geeks” gen.
ANDREW STEPHENSON commented 3 days ago (said in part)
“I have no issue with having them wait post-transition before entering service. We would not enlist someone that just had his knees replaced either, for the same reason. Once recovered, though, what’s the problem?” TAMMIE PUTINSKI-ZANDBELT commented 3 days ago
“Andrew, knee replacement is not the same thing as being gelded & required to take life-long hormones. I agree with Drew’s post.”
I then posted some interesting info the psychology student David Menzies interviewed obviously hasn’t heard of before.

This article is two years old, still very relevant and will inform folks like Andrew what the msm media ignores. There are links to studies.
Astonishing evidence of other illness.
According to several studies, the majority of transgenders have co-existing disorders that need to be treated. This helps to explain why regret and suicide are prevalent among transgenders. The following studies provide irrefutable evidence that transgenders overwhelmingly suffer from a variety of mental disorders.
“90 percent of these diverse patients had at least one other significant form of psychopathology” reported Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, Department of Psychiatry in a 2009 study of transgender outcomes at their clinic. In other words, 90 percent of the patients were suffering from a mental illness that gender surgery did not alleviate.
“61 percent of the patients treated for cross-gender identification (359 people) had other psychiatric disorders and illnesses, notably personality, mood, dissociative, and psychotic disorders according to a 2003 Dutch survey of board-certified Dutch psychiatrists.”
“A 2013 University of Louisville, KY study of 351 transgender individuals found that the rates of depression and anxiety symptoms within the study “far surpass the rates of those for the general population.” About half had depressive symptoms and more than 40 percent had symptoms of anxiety.”

The US military has every right to deny anyone who is deemed not physically or mentally fit to serve.

And not worry you do it once or twice a year but you do it every day of every month of every year preparing for war so when work comes you are not only highly skilled but you are tough enough to endure and survive incredible hardship to achieve the ultimate goal and that is to keep your country safe against all enemies foreign and domestic..
In this man’s army there is no room for bleeding hearts bleeding vaginas or failure, but especially there’s no room for the mentally disturbed individuals who need breast augmentation, psychiatric therapy, hormone pills and a host of other things just to get them to function at the level where they can brush their own teeth and look in the mirror at the same time.
Ladies believe me… This was no insult intended to the fairer sex with my above comment but over the course of time to allow everybody into the Armed forces
the physical standards had to be lowered so far that almost anybody now can make Boot Camp… It’s kind a like how school is now where our classrooms are taught at the level of the slowest learning student so that all can be successful and that isn’t panning out very well either.
The thought of joining the Armed Forces should terrify all except the very special few who can meet the unlimited rigorous demands both mentally and physically while executing orders to achieve a successful mission.
