During Basic it pissed off my Drill Sergeants to no end that they couldn't get under my skin. It became a sort of game for him. At one point he lost his shit and got in my face asking wtf was wrong with me why didn't anything ever bother me.
I told him trying to play mind games with me was useless. If he got just a glimpse of the inside of my head it'd turn him to cinders.
R/Drama posters are born warriors. They spend their entire lives fighting ignorance, bigotry, and vile hatred. And people want them BANNED from the leddit? The religious right and the atheist left always manages to amaze me with their stupidity.
The only thing that got to me in Basic was when I got hurt and it looked like I might even have cancer. I powered through (didn't have cancer), and still finished without getting recycled. Literally the only thing that got to me was my own body getting in the way of shit, which is pretty much the trans experience
People who suffer from paranoid schizophrenia are born warriors. They spend their entire lives fighting alien, reptilians, and any other voices in their heads. And people want them BANNED from the armed forces? Neurotypicals always manage to amaze me with their stupidity.
In this case it'd essentially just be the scene from Metal Gear Solid 4 where the soldiers get their devices turned off, and start killing themselves and each other not responsive to any commands, while the enemy blasts propaganda over a loudspeaker telling them that they're a he and they don't and will never pass.
"My dear wife, it has been two weeks now since the 5th MAGA Battalion cut our supply lines. We are surrounded and hormones are unavailable. The regiment is in low spirits and I am afraid that if we do not find estrogen soon, it will be the end of us..."
What I CAN say is that the hormones wouldn't make a difference. I worked with transgender troops that had deployed and never heard issues about them. I've never seen a study that shows transgender soldiers are more likely to go postal on base compared to a cisgender person after being in combat. I've never heard how being transgender and undergoing HRT has negatively impacted mission readiness for the military. I've never heard of a transgender service member attacking another service member in the bathroom.
So do the studies support this claim(or do such studies exist at all?) or is this guy plain ignorant?
I get your point, but you suggested they ban serious mental illnesses and called the guy a "drooling retard". Upon finding out that they do, you've moved the goalposts.
The rationale given in the UK is that you're potentially going to be sent somewhere without the ability to receive frequent medical care other than for trauma; i.e someone may have Bipolar, have spent 4 years being stable and functional on mood stabilisers, but during a 6 month deployment may be unable to have access to those medications - thus relapsing.
On a similar note, someone may never have had suicidal ideation - but you're going to be placed under more pressure and stress than you've likely ever been exposed before. Screening out those with an obvious predisposition - i.e a psych diagnosis - is a good filter to help ensure service-member's wellbeing.
I honestly don't give a fuck about the whole trans issue either way - I live in another country, and just think "let them do them"... But still, if a certain demographic is predisposed to serious psychiatric symptoms such as self-harm or suicidal ideation, and they're subsequently barred from service for the reason, shouldn't other demographics with the same (higher according to some) risk be barred too? Is it unethical to place that group at additional risk in a role that is already dangerous?
Anyway, enough unironic serious posting from me - dude bussy lmao
Do you have any other examples of demographics being booted just for being more likely to kill themselves? I mean, poor white men have a higher chance of being suicidal in the past and we take them in all the time
Do you have any other examples of demographics being booted just for being more likely to kill themselves?
Brilliant question to be honest, and not one I've thought about before. I looked in to it out of curiousity, but I'm knackered so I've probably misinterpreted something somewhere!
The big issue is that there isn't really any other demographics that come close to the rate of suicide in the trans community. Going off of the estimate of 40% of non-binary youth, then the rate of suicide is slap-bang in the middle of the 25-50% of Bipolar sufferers - i.e the rate is comparable to a severe psychiatric disorder, and one that makes you ineligible for military service.
Or to put that in to perspective, and compare it to a non mentally ill sample - the demographic with the highest risk is men over the age of 65 - the rate is 32.3 per 100,000. So the demographic which commits suicide the most has a rate of 0.032%... compared to 40% in the trans community. That demographic is also ineligible for military service anyway, by virtue of age.
So to answer your question, I can't see any comparable demographics because of just how high that number is, and that means I doubt there'll be any demographics with comparable treatment.
Commiting suicide isn't the same as having had suicidal thoughts. The 40% statistic comes from transgender people having had suicidal thoughts before. I'm sure a much lower number of us have actually offed ourselves
This tbqh. I'm a trussy but I'm out of the people i know I'm one of the least likely to even attempt suicide, plus I have that lust for war from all the CoD recruitment propaganda so I'm like the perfect soldier
If a transgender soldier wants to take a bullet for me then more power to him/her. Thank you in advance
40 percent chance they will anyway, even if they don't join the armed forces.
That's why traveling is so important. You learn that most people around the world are just like you - all they care about is family, their job, and providing a good living to those they care about.
Tfw you have to be a jet-setting upper class White Westerner to realize that people are boring everywhere. Oh how worldly of you.
I know you're trying to be an insulting, insensitive clod... but you know what?

I'm trans, I'm a veteran, and I promise you the vast majority of trans people are tougher than keyboard warriors who don't know shit about medicine/biology/science.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go infect some people with T3h g4Y!
Edit: LOL MAGA snowflakes downvoting me. Bring it!
Serious post. I'm against trans people serving because of the high rate of suicides in both the military and the trans community. It seems like a bad idea to allow such a fragile group delve into such a toxic occupation.
What happened with the word y'all. I only used to hear it from some family members but now it's everywhere online and my sister is saying it now too. Is it like cancer?
