Yesterday, Congress finally voted to begin the process of ending the ban on people who are openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual serving in the military. Since such people have served over the years, usually while hiding their sexuality, this will hopefully be a reasonable change. But, now comes the cries from the transgender extremists to also be allowed to serve. Hopefully, they will never succeed.
Imagine the disaster that allowing openly transgender people to serve in the military. Imagine the nightmare of having men demanding to wear female uniforms, and to be allowed to reside in women's quarters. Or vice versa. Not to mention that more than a few people who identify as transgender often suffer from mental health issues ranging from relatively mild to extremely severe,
I figured this was coming. Even though in the past, even the most extreme would admit that doing away with DADT would do nothing for transgender people who wanted to serve, I suspected that once things change for gays and lesbians, the kooks would start demanding more.
I see nothing wrong with transsexuals who have completed transition, including full genital surgery, possibly being allowed to serve if otherwise qualified, but allowing transgender people to serve openly is outrageous, and would bring serious disruption to the military.
Two of the most extremist of the transgender activists, "Monica" Helms, and "Autumn" Sandeen, are now demanding that men be allowed to serve while pretending to be women. This is an absurd effort, but as has long been obvious, there is no restraint on their silliness.

The concern about having transsexuals in the military to be groundless. I'm in the Canadian military where transsexuals have served for about 10 years and everything works as before. The only problem has been the odd bit of discrimination for the transsexual. I've been transitioning for almost 2 years without any difficulty.
So tell me, do intact males reside in female quarters? Male quarters? Separate barracks? As I said, it is one thing once they have complete surgery, but prior to that, I do not believe they should be allowed in the military.
