i dunno, that sounds like a pretty good system to keep hysterical sadbrains from rushing into irreversible genital mutilation. if someone is dead set on sticking their junk in a blender, then they should be just as enthusiastic about it a year later.

How do they check and enforce this? Are you disqualified as soon as the minder assigned to your case detects you pooping or farting? What if you're FtM and you fail to achieve a certain standard of stoicism

It's not a test, it's to make sure you absolutely positively want to be that gender. There's no policing, and it's a complete honor system.

No offense, but it's questions like that that are part of the problem. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were making a joke. :)

A sex change is a voluntery plastic surgery, are VA hospitals gonna start doing nose jobs and face lifts too?

body dysmorphia is a serious psychological condition, in this case treatable only by surgery.

for once the us military is ready to help mentally ill soldiers. too bad ptsd is less sexy and in the news.

Maybe the army should also start paying for supplements and steroids for body builder vets in that case, after all they also aren't happy with their bodies.

Yeah, won't attracting them to the military make them, if anything, more armed and, from what we've all seen in the news, more crazy suicidal?

they might figure out that their gender bent during their service.

a discharge will raise a ton of poo poo with the media, so I guess the brass figured this is the best recourse.



regardless of my personal stance on body reassignment surgery (i'm for it), bottom line is the military is doing this for the wrong reasons.

No, I just meant it's silly to worry about media backlash from discharging someone for having some kind of gender dysmorphia, but not worrying about it from spending billions on boondoggles and pointless, devastating wars.

the people who declare war and major military operations (i.e the politicians) aren't the ones who decided this.

of course it's retarded, but there is a positive spin on interventionist wars in parts of the media, certainly in the case of the last two wars.

finally, i can get a second, larger penis grafted on. im keeping my old one too, because it still has sentimental value.

16th century jesuits believed the devil had a forked penis to dp female nonbelievers. Would be a dope body mod for doing dps.

Get 40 dongs like that space alien in the culture books.



Has anyone asked which head/latrine they'll use yet? This is apparently a real important issue in the civillian world alla sudden so the military needs to square away where theyll piss and poo poo too
