    Wow

    Not that I give credence to what they say but now I'm interested in if conservative pundits/news people report on this at all? I mean they certainly don't like trans people but it conflicts with them loving the military/veterans and this being a pretty prolific soldier it sounds like.

    question is, can those anti-gay social conservatives read or hear this news in their news source? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Not as far away as I'd hoped.
    :eek: I'm amazed... good for her being able to come out like this.

    And as people pointed out it's a good slap in the face of certain transphobic news sources. Though of course they won't report it...

    they certainly cant from this source. I got in an arguement with a cousinfucker who is making this all about themselves, and their anti-braincell agenda.

    That`s great!

    I loved reading a couple of the responses she received from her former team-mates. They were so supportive and respectful.. It was nice!

    I don't care for the military, but I wish her all the happiness in the world and I can't wait to see how conservatives reconcile their military worship with their transphobia.

    It just goes to show that us members of the LGBT community (And all other inclusive groups) are really out there; this isn't a mind trick, a thing to throw people off, it's who we are.

    It's sad to see so many people have to deal with hiding their identities from the rest of their life, it's not something that is easy to do and is really quite difficult (As many members here can tell).

    I Applaud all our LGBT military, leo and other service members for having to deal with the stress caused not only by their occupations, but by the pressures and challenges placed upon them by their employers.

    After all, we're all human after all.
