The military is a heirarchal organization. Having individual expression in it opens the door to like doubting the mission. I actually think it would be funnier if the military just banned gender entirely: “the military has one gender and its pronouns are They/Them”

You joke but, “My name is Drill Sergeant, My pronoun is Drill Sergeant, My descriptor in any way coming out of your mouth is Drill Sergeant, Do you understand recruit?” has definitely been said. And the whole gender blindness thing has been tried to varying success rates. “We don’t have men and women, we have Soldiers”

The problem comes with actual regulatory and medically required differences. For example they aren’t issuing men tampons and women are required to have a separate bathroom or latrine trench. So officially banning sex isn’t possible. But half of the force does not have the education or willingness to recognize the difference between sex and gender. (Some really are barely high school graduates of bad school systems and others are just idiot conservatives) It doesn’t really matter why they won’t recognize the difference when all of the protections for women are dropped in some units.

To be honest, with the exception of sexual assault the military does pretty well trying to integrate women. And that may be improving, we’ve had high level, outside the chain of command, flag officers, reporting directly to the service secretary SA investigations for less than a year. (Dec 2023) So we’ll see where the data goes with that.

They don’t even need “they/them” when they have ranks.

And job based, Nobody is stopping to question why a woman is answering the radio when they need fire support. At that moment her gender is 50-100 meters of death on demand.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
