The impending repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell hangs over Bigot Americans like a specter of doom that will reach biblical proportions. In other words, they lack a strong grip on reality. They will do anything it takes to instill fear on the unknowing masses, stopping short of predicting the coming of The Rapture. Well, maybe they won't stop short of that.

In this endless process of misinformation and out-and-out lies, the one part of the LGBT community that they like pointing to in order to generate the most fear are transgender people. They will always gravitate to the worn-out, standard line from the Bigot's Handbook (Volume 17, 5th Edition, page 963,) "Men in dresses." If all else fails, they can always throw out "Men in dresses," even if it has nothing to do with transgender people. To Bigot Americans, ALL gay men wear dresses. That's BS to the max. Hell, I know several trans women and lesbians who wouldn't be caught dead in a dress.

Let me show the important points in this latest round of lies that the BAs like to gloss over or don't wish people to know about.

While reading this, all kinds of scenarios popped in my little brain. If a transwoman had sex with a woman would she be fired from the military? After all isn't that homosexuality? Then if a transman had sex with a man, wouldn't that be called homosexuality? I guess if you were trans you would have to be having sex or petting with the opposite gender but if you were pre op or like a transman no bottom surgery what would they call that? I guess it just all confuses me. Let's just make it simple. If we are away from the base and have sex or petting, so be it. If you are on base then I think it is different unless you live on base in private quarters.

They can't answer those questions because then they would have to make up their mind about whether people can change sex/gender or not.
