The irony is that Ulti doesn't read the articles he posts and he's admitted it before, and also this article contradicts what he said in many ways.

Yes it is, because he posted this article to validate his earlier point, but it invalidates them despite his protests against something he's admitted to in the past. That's irony.

It's irony within the confines of his own statements and previous actions in correlation to this particular situation. Expected doesn't make something less ironic.

SgtSphynx posted...tldr: If you can meet the standards, you should be able to fill whatever job you want regardless of your gender or sexual orientation. Fuck anyone who says different. okay, so i agree with this but do want to explore this a bit. because i think right now there is a case where it's virtually impossible for standards to be hit. in the future with different technology that can change but we ain't there yet so for sake of argument, let's just assume they could apply like anybody else. about 40% of trans people try to commit suicide and 40-50% have issues with depression, anxiety, or both. that's both MtF and FtM. from that aspect alone, would military reject people based on those figures or would they ask for more data and have more scrutiny on any trans applicant? basically is this stat alone something that would make recruiters balk or would they still listen? HRT for many is used to help not just transition but also to decrease the depression/anxiety. those on it are likely to keep using it for a long time, anybody who's expecting to do surgery is guaranteed to be using it before and after. ongoing medical treatment that affects body and mind - this seems like a straightforward disqualifer. so that should leave us with those who don't use it or stop using it at a certain point. going a step further, they still need to fit the physical fitness requirements. here's where MtF may suffer issues if they're trying to adjust their diet and body type as more feminine, FtM already want to be more masculine. but if we go down just these basic prongs, any applicant who's trans is somebody not suffering from three separate 40-50% checks (suicidal tendencies, depression, anxiety), passes the physical fitness standards, and are not on long term medical treatment. and this is before you get into other complications that could exist, either mentally (ADHD, bipolar) or physically (any prior injuries that aren't healing). this on a very small population that exists. i mean i get the answer is "if they pass all that, they pass it, let them join." that's the right answer, it's whatever merit you bring to the table. but is that how recruiters or officials you know would think or would it be more "this is a hassle, how do we know this isn't one of the crazy ones?" --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...

Mulan hid it. Mike Pence once wrote... Just spent a memorable Fathers Day, like so many other all American Hoosier dads, with my kids at the new Disney film entitled, “Mulan”. For those who have not yet been victimized by the McDonald’s induced hysteria over this film, Mulan is a fictional account of a delicate girl of the same name who surreptitiously takes her fathers place in the Chinese army in one of their ancient wars against the Huns. Despite her delicate features and voice, Disney expects us to believe that Mulan’s ingenuity and courage were enough to carry her to military success on an equal basis with her cloddish cohorts. Obviously, this is Walt Disney’s attempt to add childhood expectation to the cultural debate over the role of women in the military. I suspect that some mischievous liberal at Disney assumes that Mulan’s story will cause a quiet change in the next generation’s attitude about women in combat and they just might be right. (Just think about how often we think of Bambi every time the subject of deer hunting comes into the mainstream media debate.) --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvGKDK2WIAAmKTf?format=jpg&name=large ...
