in the military ? I have no problem at all with gays and completely altered or non altered transexuals in the military, but the people described in the title , uh uh. I think its hard for most people to take these particlular trans people seriously, suggesting problems to me with combat unit cohesion. It doesn’t help me when the only exposure I’ve had to these particular people is in a porn video which caught me by surprise. Yet I would have no problem with men without penises. Seriously though, can we draw the line at men with hormonally enhanced breasts not eligible for military service ? ps To **Marley23** The only possible offensive wording in the other thread you closed is c\_\_\_\_\_ w\_\_\_\_\_\_ d\_\_\_\_. Given that they describe themselves as such in the videos they help produce, led me to overlook the possibility I was being offensive. Have you overlooked the first reply in that thread ? ---

\< sigh \> Calling them “Men with Hormonally Enhanced breasts” is, if anything more offensive. At least “chick” is a feminine term. And these are people who identify as female. ---

I am totally speechless - then the questions come. Wait, shouldn’t this be a poll? So, are you arguing what male people with breasts shouldn’t serve? Why exactly? or is this just a dumbass attempt to stealth back to gays in the military? Are there lots of this demographic clamouring to serve? Are men with their own breasts particularly talented in Arabic? ---

Given that they describe themselves as such in the videos they help produce, led me to overlook the possibility I was being offensive. Honestly, you’ve got the same problem that was brought up in the other thread. This is like claiming it’s fine and dandy to call women sluts, because hey, that’s what they describe themselves as such in the videos they help produce. Here’s a useful tip; language used in pornography? Not necessarily the byword for polite and/or inoffensive! ---

Pre-op transexuals? ---

Sorry, but I don’t believe that you can’t understand the problem here. Your descriptions are still offensive, and “they call themselves chicks with dicks” (which they generally do not) is not convincing for the same reason we don’t allow racial slurs. This is over. Consider yourself formally warned both for trolling and for ignoring my instructions.
