Trump sez: Transgenders B gone!

[quip]

ok, then the pre-screening should include the following:

27. Have you been diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria?

if they answer yes they're rejected

Read above.

 

[ok doser]

Read above.

it's an ad for ford trucks :idunno:

Any notion of "Dysphoria" probably has more to do with army machismo than with most of the transgendered who desire to join.

Keep at doser...you can do it! :up:

 

[ok doser]

Any notion of "Dysphoria" ...

is a medical term :duh:

are you suggesting that we should remove the "machismo" character of the army - essentially wussify the army? :chuckle:

dude, you're just proving the points made in the pelosi article

 

[ok doser]

Quip: "The US Army is too "machismo" - that's unfair to wusses who want to join!"

:darwinsm:

You and the article proves Polosi's point.

Here's my favorite excerpt: "They have no time to waste learning how to sensitively co-exist with the pregnant man in the shower stall next to them."

A new take on an old classic!

 

[fool]

Dots: there's no evidence for a wholesale denial of allowing transgendered individuals into the army. Evaluate them individually as you would anyone else.

And everyone individually gets asked "are you planning on having your genitals mutilated?" and the ones that say "yes" we say "can't use you right now".
Is that a fair evaluation?

No. :doh:
Have you not been paying attention?

 

[ok doser]

what a long weird past forty years it's been - from:

I demand that you keep me out of the army!

Spoiler

to:

I demand that you let me join the army!

Spoiler

 

[ok doser]

And everyone individually gets asked "are you planning on having your genitals mutilated?" and the ones that say "yes" we say ...

... ok, you're insane

and lock them away in an insane asylum and treat their insanity

 

[fool]

the very diagnosis of "dysphoria" should be a disqualifier :doh:

as should the very diagnosis of "schizophrenia"

I thought being fat, or shortsighted, or short, or skinny, or grumpy, or sleepy, etc, would disqualify you.
Having your penis turned into a vagina seems like something you should do while not having so many commitments.
Like Armying.
Or Navying.
Or Forcing, of any kind.

 

[fool]

If they don't make the cut after joining they may recieve a discharge. Pre-screening is also justified but an all out ban is not.

So I guess we're drilling down into what you and I call "Pre-Screening".
I consider planning on having your genitals tuned into a balloon poodle being a pretty big deal as far as pre-screening questions.

that's because you're hateful and bigoted and racist

 

[fool]

How's that? schizophrenia is a documented disease...the other an undocumented dis-ease of some transgendered. Maybe they find their calling - a home - in the army.

Our Army is a fighting force, not somewhere for people to engage in self discovery of what gender they want to be.
Or, on the other hand maybe it is?
This Documentary piece on Space Marines from 1986 seems to show an androgynous treatment of people without raising a conflict?

"Fall in people, Come on, let's go."

 

[ok doser]

... This Documentary piece on Space Marines ...

:darwinsm:

have you ever been mistaken for a man?

 

[fool]

No. :doh:
Have you not been paying attention?

I have been. I really have.
And I think having your genitals altered is something the Army would have an interest in when they're counting on you to jump out of an airplane and shoot your way down.

 

[fool]

... ok, you're insane

and lock them away in an insane asylum and treat their insanity

Or just leave them alone.
But not elitist them in the Army.

 

[fool]

that's because you're hateful and bigoted and racist

I don't have any problem with Transgenders.
I just think it would be nice if people figured out who they were before they get half way across the Galaxy.
