I'm 100% certain she's a transman.

I imagine you think about transgender people a lot. Would you like to tell us about that?

I imagine you think about me; thinking about transgender people a lot. Would you like to tell us about that?

Well, I am trying to keep track of all the interesting posters here. I am very bad with names, so I have been keeping a little list. I have not written down you username and probably won't.

That's my 3rd favorite Nema copypasta zinger.

I may have misspoken. You probably have a "zinger" list.

That's cool. I doubt anyone else needs to write down names.

And I'm thinking about ya'll thinking about which one is more enthused with trans... I'm definitely always having passing thoughts of all sorts of oddities :)

We're in the same boat my friend.

We can't help but wonder about this crazy world we live in....

Mostly, dafaq is really going on??? ;-)

I do agree with Tom for the most part. A woman biologically, even at the 1% mark, won't compare to a male at the 1% physical level.

My body is broken, I've got several deficits; I usually call myself gimpy, but recently, and thank you so much to the SJW doctor front, I know now that I'm "Bio-Mechanically-Challenged"(I shit you not, and man I love using that on people! hahaha). My point? I can still do some amazing things; often times more so than regular folks, I can't do it long. While for myself what I can do is great, there are so many variables, and sometimes it just doesn't work.

It's the exact thing for this woman(unless she's a woman without a cervix ;-). While amazing, and probably could kick many dudes butts, just not up to the overall capability of a man 1%. This news amounts to 'progressiveness' bordering on insanity.

I found it interesting that she is 10 years older than the average green beret.

Then I found out they lowered the standards to qualify for a green beret. And most people familiar with the situation believe that doing so was to allow women to finally participate in the special forces.

Then it just all made more sense.

The World is Changing. ————-

The Army’s first female Green Beret is expected to graduate in a matter of weeks, according to unnamed military sources who spoke with the New York Times.

A spokesman for Army Special Operations Command declined to comment. As of November, only three women had graduated the 24-day Special Forces Assessment and Selection course, Army Times learned previously, and none had finished the entire year-long Qualification Course.

“It’s not a topic that we’re willing to discuss at this point,” said command spokesman Lt. Col. Loren Bymer, citing the reality that the female soldier has still not completed the entirety of training.

The woman is an enlisted soldier with the National Guard and is slated to become an 18C, or Special Forces engineer sergeant, the Times reported. The graduation will be one of the largest milestones since the Defense Department opened all the branch’s combat positions up to women in 2016.

Although she hasn’t technically graduated yet, her completion is nearly guaranteed, according to officials cited by the Times.

If she can complete the same training and qualifications as the men, then good for her.
There may be some drawbacks to working alongside other men, but there are probably some benefits as well.

(for instance, how a female spy can be superior to a male spy)

What about a trans spy?

Humm, sounds pretty nitch, but I bet there are some diplomats that would get off on that.

The press will ignore her in two weeks when she quits because it's "too hard".
