Should the Military adopt Gender Neutral facilities like many other countries?

8.58K

Many counties have adopted gender neutral facilities. This in American culture is considered "taboo". However, with the integration of transgendered personnel into the military, instead of questioning what facilities they should use, why not transition into a gender neutral military? My response will be in the comments down below.

I wonder why we have to worry about 3 people per thousand joining the military in droves?
The military can't even pay to keep our commissaries and the USMC has its F-18s at a 35% operational rate due to lack of spare parts and we have to rob maintenance funds to keep other parts of the military functioning. I feel that this is a waste of money and discussion.

I stand corrected Sir, in terms of your situation. Sounds like a really tough road you, your wife, and daughter have been on. I'm sorry that you have all gone through the wringer so many times. It does seem like she is missing or needing something to be sure. Hopefully, with the support of family she can turn it around.
We have had some folks in our family who have suffered similarly so I empathize with you.

1LT Susan Bailey - Apology accepted. That is what RP is for. I learn so much from many of you here and some, like you, get a new perspective as well. :)

Major Sir you said a lot. I really don't know what to say. But you have to be a good man. Good luck to you and your family.

Thank You MSgt John McGowan No Gay or transgender can say I am making this up and that I am biased. The last transgender on here on another post on RP did not answer me on my transgender hypothesis. He went to a She. He was mature. If you have a bad foundation you can't build on it. It is like a chair with 3 legs. I am very familiar with the transgender SF LTC who won a supreme court suit on job discrimination suit with the Library of Congress in 2008.http://www.wibw.com/home/headlines/28674869.html

I am just saying that entry-level transgender candidates should not be considered and if they are, they be looked at for mental stability and being free of substance abuse issues since they will be around arms and ammunition.

Transsexual Wins Lawsuit Against Library of Congress

Officials rescinded job offer after learning of transition. Ex-Army Special Forces officer David Schroer became Diane Schroer. Judge finds discrimination on basis of gender. ACLU applauds ruling; library has no comment.
