text: I grew up in army bases, I've been in relationships with military guys, I've heard the talk, seen videos.... if I was a lesbian I wouldn't go near joining the military let alone if I was transgender. My ex was in Kuwait in 2003, last thing they needed was someone who is going through all kinds of hormone therapy because that in itself is going to mess anyone's head up. I'm sure I'll get a load of bs for this but I know the way army lads talk... if anyone transgender wanted to join the military then good luck to them... it won't be easy!
