Off Topic / Re: Sweden has gender neutral schools.
« on: August 02, 2017, 06:21:36 PM »doesn't actually have anything to do with trans issues i don't think, all the kids still know what their assigned gender is (x), it's literally just to create a space where there's a vacuum of traditional gender roles to let kids develop independently of those expectations
I was mostly stating in general for the people who legitimately think it's okay to pressure transgenderism onto children. I know what's up in the story, but I know of other places putting much heavier pressure on the subject.

Kids are too young and impressionable to fully wrap their minds around the whole transgender trend. Honestly, they should be making the decision when they become more knowledgeable and are able to make more responsible decisions (Let's say 18 is a good median target).

Off Topic / Re: [noose] transgenders not allowed in military
« on: July 26, 2017, 01:31:28 PM »This is my take on the situation
To me, Transgenders should be allowed to serve in the military.
HOWEVER
They should not be treated any differently than regular members of the military. They should be able to act in a professional, dignified manner and be able to put aside their personal issues to do their duty in the military in a professional manner. If they need HRT or Gender Reassignment Surgery, they should get that stuff done before they enter.
In the end, Transgender or Not, they should be able to perform to peak capacity as soldiers because loveual orientation is irrelevant when it comes to serving in combat operations
This is just my opinion though. In the grand scheme of things, I'll defer to the presidents judgement on this.
Isn't that the real goal, in the end? To just be treated like any other person. I mean, that's what I would expect too.

« on: July 26, 2017, 12:19:50 PM »my question is what classifies someone as officially transgender? is there a diagnosis apart from gender dysphoria or is it completely subjective...?
I was gonna say something but pecon hit the nail right on the head.

I guess you are just here to start stuff :y

« on: July 26, 2017, 11:56:52 AM »Individuals who couldn't handle high stress environments can be weeded out individually. No need for a blanket ban on an entire demographic.
Think about women in the military. Women are, in general, less physically capable than men. But there are still women in combat positions, as some individual women can perform just as well.
Annoying Orange's tweets say they will not be allowed to serve the military in any capacity
See, y'all seem to be under the impression that "military" automatically equals "go shoot the bad guys and get shot yourself"
The reality however, is that "military" also includes tons of non-combat roles, such as nurses, cooks, maintenance, intel, IT, non-combat engineering, etc. Roles that will never see combat. Some of which never even leave the US.
To tell someone "you're not physically fit for combat, therefore you can't do those either" is silly
This is a very good point and I believe people are overlooking this.
As far as footing the bill, pecon also made another good point.
Either way, it's stupid to just ban all of them instead of actually doing proper screening like they are supposed to with anybody.
