I have served for 25 years in the Oregon Army National Guard and have 2 deployments to Iraq. Those who served before me(like Vietnam and other places in southeast Asia) did not get a warm reception when they came home. These are the real "HERO's".

I did my time on the flight deck. Airwing and ship's company didn't always get along but we knew how to work together to get the job done. I've done tours on the Forrestal, Midway, Kitty Hawk and the Independence. My squadron assignments have been with VAQ130, VAQ136, VA185, VA128 and VAQ129.

In spite of my GID, I managed to complete my career. Over all, I think enlisting was one of my best decisions.

Hi, I'm currently serving in the army and i'm proud of my choice to serve my country. I only wish that one day transgendered people will be able to join openly without hatered or persecution and not have to hide who we are while in the service.

Served 12 years USAF. Reading through the posts here, I am very proud of you who deal with all this and serve at the same time. Ashamedly, I hid my issues and served well beyond the 'man' everyone expected of me.

I salute you all.

I served in the U.S. Army from 2009 to 2012 and spent on year deployed to Iraq. My MOS was a 91B, light wheeled vehicle mechanic, but while I was deployed I worked with communications. I miss serving, but from my experiences I would not serve again being transgender.

Hello my friends,

I'm Denise and I served on two nuclear submarines in the 80's harassing the Soviet Navy all over the world. Lots of undeclared confrontation involving potential release of untold megatonnage!

Yet even today, after all these years, I know the Woman in me was there, in those "boats" underway on submerged patrol and extended deployments...exerting her gentle influence over my decisions, tastes, and passions (even while suppressed); and only recently has she surfaced and made her presence known in such a profound way that she will no longer be suppressed, and at the lofty age of 53 will she blossom and flourish in all her femininity!

And life is good.

Thanks for reading

Denise

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
