I'm this close to asking a navy recruiter to elaborate on whatever the fuck he meant that my transition "must be done 18 months" before I'd enlist.
Also, I find it weird I can be such an obnoxious leftist online, but really fall for the naval officers' program pitch so well. It just sounds cool as hell.
And the well-written Navy manual for transitioning servicepeople kind of caught me off guard and my tearducts tickle?
Ughhhh I need to read something reminding me our president is crazy and likely to make any military job hell.
I kind of pointed out to the recruiter doing the on-campus presentation that his transgender recruit policy made no sense because it was so vague, and he just was all "Oh, well it's a gray area if you aren't getting the surgery."
So I had a pretty strong hunch he didn't memorize the trans policy that well.
I'd have pressed for more in person if I wasn't nervous discussing my private parts in front of my classmates. He actually said surgeries, so I really was like, "did he mean just genital stuff, or breasts and junk, too, because doctors and wpath really don't let you rush that..."
I think I just like the straightforward rules and structure, being so autistic.
@ikea_femme are u okay with killing ppl, directly or indirectly? Having to obey orders, from FCKN d. Troll?
Dunno, military would NEVER be an option to me. Military rules may be trans-friendly, fellow soldiers most likely not. Ur overlord definitely not. Good luck when t. Is impeached & pence becomes President.
Just don't .
Kinda tempted to send him an email all, "Hi Mr. Navy Guy, I'm the trans who asked you how to get a job with the navy and you said I had to be done transitioning, which to me sounded weird since that's a lifelong process? And also, if you're talking hormones, I started them seven months ago, is that what you meant? If I need to get GCS, they won't even consider me until next January. And ironically, I cannot afford such a surgery without money and health insurance, which is what I hear you can get from the Navy.
You ever read catch 22? I tried, but I put it down to read Murakami, and then I realized from murakami I had gender dysphoria..."
