Gender Confusion Pathlogy.   Gender dysphoria is classified as a disorder under dual role transvestism.  

Currently, because of political pressure, the America Psychiatric Assn is talking about changing this from a disorder, to a preference.  I suppose homicidal tendencies could also be called a preference if they so desire.

how many in this thread are actually vets? If somebody wants to put their life on the line for this country and defend my freedoms I don't care if there's a dick hanging off their forehead. 

You'll live longer if you stop caring so much what other people do with their lives.

Vapid virtue signaling alert.

Belo is such a superior human being and he doesn't mind letting us know it.

Should we have to pay for it?

pay for what? A soldier's benefits regardless or race and gender?

No. But I am talking about paying for the cost of the surgeries and hormone treatments. I don't believe elective procedures or treatments should be covered regardless of race or gender

The plan was for the military to cover the costs for sex changes after a soldier was taken in.  It's elective surgery so it should not be allowed.

As far as letting them in the military, nobody has a RIGHT to go into the military no matter how bad you wish to serve.  You have to qualify, and there are hundreds of things that you can be disqualified for.  Even flat feet get you denied.  Transgenders are high maintenance and cannot be coddled in a combat theater of operations.  Someone with asthma can't be either.

This is not an issue of bigotry or prejudice.  This is an issue of military requirements.  Those requirements cannot be changed for transgenders without changing them for many other unqualified applicants.  That would be preferential treatment, which is so commonly preferred by liberals.  

Seems standards are always being lowered to meet the demands of the left.  That's why we are seeing less and less exceptionalism in America.  Welcome to the land of mediocrity and malaise.

So no disagreement regarding passing a test. I think we went through this with woman already many decades ago. GI Jane comes to mind. Ultimately there are positions that they don't qualify for, and the same for some men and even trannys. 

As far as paying for their surgery, no f'n way. And that's the same if a dude wants a bigger cock or a lady wants bigger tits on uncle Sam. 

But if you can pass the tests and you're willing to fight for the country, who are we to deny that? Heck, would anything be better than some tranny shooting up a couple arabs? Talk about a real blow to moral lol.

[Rattler]

If they have a medical condition, meaning they need drugs, or even psycho counseling, they do not qualify.  It's not a test they can pass.

The suicide rate (and attempted suicide) for transgenders is crazy high compared to the rest of society. There has been more that a few studies on this.  I would think that by definition, an attempted suicide or successful attempt would classify someone as having a mental issue.  Take a peek at some of the numbers in this survey.

And what if a Tranny decides to suicide themselves and take a few fellow troops with them? Statistically they are high risk 

[left field]

"Suicide themselves" is something my six-year-old nephew would say. I'm beginning to have a better sense of how to deal with you.

so why even bother making it a headline for the libs? If they can't pass then they can't pass. No need to make a rule about it.

and so is the arab that shot up fort hood... there are many at risk groups already allowed in the military.

and how come nobody answered my original question?

[Rattler]

I am, but that fact is irrelevant and unrelated to the issue.  But I can tell you the current attitude of active military personnel.  Tranny's are creating issues and hurting morale.  Nuff said.
