Disgraceful: U.S. Military Now Allowing Soldiers To Cross-Dress

The military has undergone some controversial changes under Obama’s presidency. In December, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced that women would be ‘allowed to drive tanks, fire mortars and lead infantry soldiers into combat and serve as Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps infantry, Air Force parajumpers, and everything else that was previously open only to men.’

Nothing could be more controversial than Carter announcing that military personnel who wish to cross-dress may now do so. 

According to Breitbart, Carter said, however, that new recruits would have to cross-dress for at least 18 months prior to joining the military, presumably to avoid last-minute transitions from one mode of dress to another. Still, if a member of the armed forces wishes to swap genders while serving on active duty, that person may be able to do so “if a military medical provider determines it is necessary,” according to reports.

If any soldier would like to take a further step and undergo gender reassignment surgery, the Pentagon would cover the medical costs, Carter added.

“Effective immediately, transgender Americans may serve openly,” Carter said. “They can no longer be discharged or otherwise separated from the military just for being transgender.”

According to the New York Times, there are “thousands” of transgender people in the military who have hitherto been “forced into an existence shrouded in secrecy to avoid being discharged.”

The new position came despite the objections of some at the highest ranks of the military, who have called transgenderism a social experiment that could potentially harm the military’s effectiveness in combat.

As of this October, a portion of the training hours of servicemen and women will be devoted to explaining how the new rules about transgenderism will affect them.

Along with the recent opening of combat roles to women, the permission of military cross-dressing is “all about the same idea — that job assignments should be based on merit, not about gender identity or sexuality,” said Aaron Belkin, the director of a research institute called the Palm Center.

A report by the RAND Corporation, commissioned by Carter, alleged that if the Pentagon did not cover medical procedures including hormone therapy and surgery, transgender service members would probably not seek medical care and could have higher rates of substance abuse and suicide.

In point of fact, however, suicide rates are twenty times higher among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBTQ – affirming countries in the world.

The American College of Pediatricians recently issued a statement saying that a people who believe they are members of the opposite sex suffer from “an objective psychological problem” that “lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.”

Such individuals suffer from gender dysphoria (GD), formerly listed as Gender Identity Disorder (GID), the doctors noted, “a recognized mental disorder in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.”

  1. I don’t happen to care how they dress or if they are transgender. However, I strongly object to the Pentagon PAYING for the transition!!! NOT with my tax dollars. That is a person decision and should be paid for by the person.

    • The military is an institution and how people dress is based on their gender. If you have unorthodox gender beliefs, such is life, but choose another profession. Our military is there to protect the nation; it’s not a popularity contest. HOW they dress is part of the job!

  2. I have a SERIOUS issue with this! So, the over 99% of mentally stable people MUST accept the mental issues of the less than 0.3%? So, we have to worry about who we share the head with? The majority MUST continually be subjected to the mental warped behavior of the minuscule people! I’m sick of our military being treated as a social experiment under this administration! We became the strongest military in the world by DESIGN! Now, this admin and the deranged supporters are changing it and weakening it by DESIGN! If you can tear apart the military, the country will follow.

  3. If that isn’t enough to make you shoot your lunch nothing will. Give these creeps a BB gun and send them to Syria to fight isis.

  4. A disgrace to what was once a great nation now more measures have been taken to weaken the US in eyes of the world. It would be comical if I did not live here, but it is just sad situation to watch unfold as a vet. They have weeded out many of the military leaders that don’t align with Obama administration.

  5. Our military is an institution tasked with the job of protecting our country. It isn’t some kind of lab to try out experiments in current social mores.
