“America Is 'Committing Suicide' By Allowing Trannies in the Military (Russian TV News)”
Pretty trashy stuff.
Efforts to make jokes out of the fact that some people are gay are a quarter-of-a-century out of date.
And they weren't in good taste then.
It is estimated that somewhere between 4% and 10% of any human population is gay. If you are observant, you can also see this identity occurs with some animals, too, such as dogs.
It is a naturally-occurring phenomenon. You might just as well make fun of skin color or the size of people.
There were, in fact, some very famous soldiers who were gay.
Starting with Alexander the Great

Sorry, but that displays terrible ignorance.
Sexual identity has at least two major components.
One is the set of organs with which a person is born.
The other is that portion of the brain dealing with all the thoughts and feelings concerned with sex.
These can be out of sync, as they very much are for transsexuals. For such people, sex-change operations are their only escape from a perpetual psychological crisis in their lives. They, of course, are not a perfect solution, but they appear to work well for some.
You see, with biology and human life, across millions of beings in all their variety, there really is no such thing as 'perfect.' There is endless variety and differences. Nature experiments with us continuously as a population.
For transsexuals, as with everything else with humans, there also is a whole range of degrees or intensities involved. Some are simply able to live with the internal conflict. Others are not.
Just think about even "the ordinary or normal” range of sexual identity and the vast differences we find. We have males and females who can never have enough sex. We have males and females who want nothing to do with sex. Asexual people, too, are a reality. And, of course, we have everything in between the extremes.
We have males who have serious psychological problems concerning the size of their organ. We have females who just can never achieve a climax. And on and on, as many variations and twists as you can imagine, and they all exist.
By the way, are you aware that all new human fetuses are female to start with? A portion of them become male as they develop.
That portion is more than half. We have more male babies born than female, however, males suffer a much higher rate of death in infancy and childhood, and so by the time children are adults, there are more females.
Did you know that babies born with both sets of sex organs are a fairly regular occurrence? Historically, doctors arbitrarily selected one or the other and did some cutting.
But not always. Hermaphroditic people have lived that way their whole lives sometimes. I wonder, by your way of thinking, how they are supposed to identify and respond?
Not only that, but many males and females are physically incomplete or irregular in some way. We have males with no testes. We have males with such tiny penises that they cannot have normal sex. We have females who are shaped so that they cannot have normal sex or have babies.
Sexual identity is a very complex thing, and almost anything that you can imagine happening does indeed happen at times. I don’t know why anyone would choose to disparage those born with an unfortunate or uncomfortable set of circumstances.
After all, nature does the same with all other portions of the body. Retarded brains. Brilliant brains. Short. Tall. Hairy chests. Smooth chests. Well-formed limbs. Malformed limbs, or sometimes no limbs. Huge breasts. Almost no breasts. You don’t make fun or criticize them, I hope?
