The Crying Game / TRANSGENDER DISCUSSION

[crash]

I'd throw your ass down on the ground, straddle you and blow on your belly

Funny, I've thought about doing exactly the same thing numerous times..

I'm extremely ticklish on my stomach and not in a funny way, it hurts. I hate when my husband tickles my stomach, he thinks it's funny. I'd end up kneeing Duchess in the groin if she tried to hold me down and molest my stomach.

[ZEROSPHERES]

I didn't think it was funny. I've never talked to her in such a nasty way.

Because you don't have a sense of humor. You laugh once every six months and getting a smile from you is like pulling teeth, you miserable old twat.

Yeah right, I laugh at shit Clang says all the time. I'm young again when Clang makes me laugh.

With the pronoun thing I would refer to Bruce as a she if I knew him personally, I'm not a mean asshole. But here it seems silly to keep referring to him as a she since he has a dick and likes fucking women and all.

I know some people use "she" to respect Jenner's choices and/or because they think of Jenner as a woman now.

I use "she" most of the time for those reasons and because she identifies as a woman, looks and dresses like a woman, and all that jazz.

But I don't think it much matters what pronouns people use outside of Jenner's presence, personally. If people think of Jenner as a man, then they should call it like they see it and use "he".

It's on now! *flexes*

Protect your jewels, apparently she kicks.

I wonder what a knee to the groin would feel like if I had no balls. It would just be scar tissue and some floppy skin. A good idea to put in a trans-vaginal web made of titanium. Not that I know what a knee to the nutsack feels like. But there has been some screaming scary moments in the dark.

I copped a really bad knee during a football game as a teenager. I threw up from the pain. I still get a sick feeling in my stomach just thinking about it. I thought I was going to barf out my nuts that day.

I skipped over a few pages of discussion here, but just curious, can I transition race? I've always felt inside like a black man.

You may be closer than you realize. Do you consider this man a viable candidate?

Keepin it 100, his tie knot game is on fleek, yaherd.

Racial dysphoria is ok too.

When you finally decide to live your life as the black man you really believe yourself to be, you can become transracial anytime you want!

Represent!

That's so last decade Cutz.



The Wayan brothers and Michael Jackson did the whole racial transition thing, and even tossed in some gender transition in the process.

Personally, I don't care if you wanna let your inner black dude out of the closet, and I think you'd make a lovely black chick too.

Transgenders in the Air Force

The Air Force announced Thursday that it will offer more protections for its transgender service members against potential discharge.

“Though the Air Force policy regarding involuntary separation of gender dysphoric Airmen has not changed, the elevation of decision authority to the Director, Air Force Review Boards Agency, ensures the ability to consistently apply the existing policy,” Daniel Sitterly, a top Air Force personnel, said in a statement.

The Air Force’s decision echoes an earlier move by the Army in March. That measure made it harder to oust transgender Army service members without review by top officials.

The changes reflect the Pentagon’s gradual push for greater inclusiveness for potential service members across the armed forces.

Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James expressed openness Thursday to ending any restrictions against transgender soldiers entering the military. “From my point of view, anyone who is capable of accomplishing the job should be able to serve,” James said. “And so I wouldn’t be surprised if this came under review.”

USA Today reported that estimates identify about 15,000 of the military’s 1.3 million active troops as transgender.

It’s unclear how many have been discharged, as the Pentagon does not keep records on that statistic.

...and that's the way it should be.

They can assign them to an Osprey wing... it's trans-aero and doesn't know if it's a helicopter or an airplane.

Ba dum dum. I'm here all week. Tip your waiters.

All kidding aside, anyone who can physically and mentally do the job is a-ok to serve in my opinion.

One downside to the relaxed policy on transgender acceptance in the military: Corporal Klinger will never get that section 8 and make it out of Korea now!


(I came across MASH on the classic tv station a couple of days ago; I love that show.)

Anyway, I think anyone who is fit to serve should be allowed to serve in the military too.

But, transgenders shouldn't get any special treatment IMO. They should be subject to the same uniform/dress code (until/unless those codes are relaxed for all service men and women). They should also be subject to the same general stipulations that apply to other military persons if they're on medications which compromise their abilities to perform job functions.

I do think it could potentially be tricky in terms of assigning quarters for transgender personnel. What determines the sex/gender of a person is hotly debated in the medical community and society in general.

If a female army soldier, for example, comes out as someone who has always identified as a man, and she's diagnosed with gender dysphoria and begins to transition, should the soldier be able to transfer to male quarters if she wants? Or, should the soldier be required to get a penis first? I think the military will need to proactively establish consistent guidelines for such potential cases, if they haven't already.
