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.
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..."
