Gender/Transgender In The Military & In General

[Mierin]

And how often does that occur?

XYY is more common than down syndrome.

Wait...am I the only one here that DOES look around in the gym locker room?  I was in there the other day and an old dude was changing and I did the quick look and look away.  

Were you sitting in the urinal? 

s#!t happens when you party naked

And how often does that occur?

Just give it up already. Youve been proven wrong. Admit you were wrong and move on. 

 

[Ric Flair]

At a rate greater than 0.000000000000%

At a rate consistent with the number of people who claim to be transgender? Of course not.

Nope. Try again.

Chromosomes line up as either XX or XY.

It's science.

I think someone needs to explain to Ric what "science" is.

How does this have any bearing on the discussion?

Some fantastic news - not just a great change in curriculum with regard to this population and awareness, but imagine a school system/nation that actually put into action the deficiencies that it's research uncovered.  ALL of it.

Well the Kavanaugh confirmation is already paying off for this fearful, bigoted administration.  This is shameful.

I am not in favor of banning transgender people from joining the military but until there are some better concrete directives in place, I don't think someone should be allowed to join and choose which gender they want to be when they sign.  

There are issues to deal with like open barracks, open showers, open latrines, physical fitness guidelines, etc that need to be addressed first.  It's just how it has to be.

We could all learn a bit about how to have complex discussions about violatile topics from John Stewart.  This is a masterclass on using facts, questions and staying calm and respectful when dealing with someone who is less than educated on an issue.

This topic is ancient, but I couldn't remember where this type of thing was being discussed before. I think Nyad makes her argument fairly well.

I saw this earlier and she makes a good case but I disagree.  If you are a man and you now identify as a woman, that is it, you are a woman. 

Legacy traits is interesting but it is unfair to the guy that now identities as a girl.

I think Nyad expressed the thoughts of many here
