Any word about mentally incapacitated? I'm cereal.

'Female' might include trans-'women', which is basically the same thing as what you're saying.

BTW I'm dessert.

Yes, it seems like your idea fits their PC agenda. That leaves me out since I'm not trans. I can just put the dessert on top of my cereal.

I'm going to laugh my ass off when this backfires spectacularly.

One of the disabilities they are now allowing is being under 5 foot tall.

I'm not sure this change is what it's hyped up to be.

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure dwarfism comes with a host of medical issues.

A bunch of corpses of disabled people littering the moon is going to be a helluva PR hit, and a big wake-up call to remind us why the people we sent the first times were highly trained military people in peak physical condition.
