Funny story. We just moved into our new home. We bought 6 cheap curtain rods from Target. Halfway through the spouse said they had enough and wanted to call in professionals to finish the job. I just laughed and finished them myself.

I apologize to everyone, but I only really started doing it when I worked in jobs directly dealing with customers - since then it hasn't really shaken off.

Do you also believe 9-11 was an inside job?

Of course. But now with the GI Bill they can get an education after serving and hopefully avoid unemployment afterwards.

??? Having a stable job, even in the military, is better than being unemployed and the multitude of concerns there. I don't need to explain why being unemployed is bad. Most who join the military anymore are not in it for the glory or whatever - it is the job security. As long as you don't fuck up you can have a…

Bullets also interfere with the hormone therapy, but that doesn't seem to be a reason on your list. These reasons you list are for any one serving, not just trans members. I don't understand the focus on trans members. It doesn't even matter if you think they should serve or not - they are there already. They are…

It's not about my sex life if I want to mention my wife in passing without being fearful.

Of course. Just in the future before trying to deny people the ability to serve openly do some research.

Your original question was about how could trans people receive their medications while in combat zones. I replied that soldiers already needing daily medications are in combat zones so that point means nothing. Also the fact several other countries allow trans members to openly serve which has resulted in 0 problems,…

Yeah, but I dont know how that relates to letting trans soldiers be open. I thought you were talking about secret trans experiments or something. Either way trans people are serving openly and without problem in other countries, there is no excuse for the US to be behind.

....ask the other countries how they do it? Also a lot of soldiers take regular medications on a daily basis even in combat zones???? Who is taking experimental drugs for what??????????????

The wife has unofficially came out to her coworkers and supervisors - all of them have been very cool about it thankfully. She has just under a year left on her contract so she is going to ride it out. But they already knew she was bi and not your typical military member to begin with. But it is a different political…

Exactly - closeted trans members are serving next to other countries military members who are openly trans and they are doing fine. It is only a matter of time before trans people can serve openly in the US....I just wish it was sooner so my wife could stay in. She likes her job, is good at it, but cannot hide who she…

Too bad the US military still has a ban on trans members. Hopefully with this being signed this will help the military change their stuff since a lot of these contracted employees work with the military.

Must of misread - eitherway the point still stand on how content of the article is not changed nor the enjoyment of the comment section is somehow diminished by considering some people's needs.

A warning at the top of the page of the contents of the article will not inhibit you from enjoying the article or the comment section any less. Get over yourself.

In Florida "Fortunately it was summer" would mean he would of been a puddle in the car.

At this point you are just trolling. Good day.

Uh-huh. Whatever birth order you are must be prone to believing in stereotypes.
