GID & The Military

[Ziko]

LOL at the picture
made me laugh

Took it for some kid's project on how appearances can be deceiving. xD

i left that transtastic thread becuase de kelly whoever is an enomourus prick/dick/jackass ect. and that motherBleeper is still there so i gave up.

He recently quit Gaia forever, so if you want to come back, everything's safe now.

In honesty its gonna be so much easier for you then it is for me. you can appear male and people MIGHT take a second glance and those you get is "Tomboy" "Pfft that girls a dude" *tell me if im wrong* but im sure youve heard lots of them already.

but for an MtF, i have to watch every little thing i do, i mean EVERY LITTLE THING. from walking to even smoking a ****in ciggarrette.
Yes i had someone tell me "you better hold that ****in ciggerette a litte bit more manly"
make one wrong move that even remotely looks gay/feminine on purpose, and instantly your GAY/HOMO ,and yeah somg guys make "fag jestures"(forgive the word) to bull shit with each other, cuase they think its funny.

Actually, I haven't gotten any shit at all. But I think that's because I never bring any attention to it. I don't complain about being called a guy, I don't complain about being called girl things, I don't use the bathrooms when military people are around (off-base. I pass too well now to use female civilian restrooms).
The only thing I've gotten is "Why do you dress like a guy?" really. If I never bring attention to how I look, nobody assumes anything malicious. I guess it helps that I don't care how I'm referred (pronouns, that is) in real life. The only thing that pisses me off is when people use my full, legal first name. But even then it doesn't immediately get assumed I'm queer, because a lot of people dislike their first names, and we're all used to being called our last names anyway.

I'm rather surprised how well it has worked out for me (reception-wise), and I know a lot of it has to do with the fact that females are generally accepted as being allowed to want to be men, but I've never actually SAID anything about wanting to be a man, or wanting to be treated differently, or anything like that. I'm very laissez-faire about the whole thing, and I think that's an advantage I have because if I made a big deal about it (or really, any deal at all) I'm sure I'd get picked on or hated a lot more.

If I were male though and trying to be MtF, I know that would suck major ass. I think it might be a little better in the Navy, since we have this massive gay stereotype anyway. But there's still a ton of sexism each of us have to deal with. Being in the army, you're expected to go out there and essentially kill people, so I can see why you'd be called out on it. I'm really sorry.

But there's one thing to look forward to: MtF surgeries are basically perfect. FtM bottom surgery still is pretty sucky. If I fully transitioned, I doubt I'd be able to go back into the military without my genitals being a dead giveaway.

The Chaplain HAS to report suicidal intentions and can send you for an evaluation. and from there shit can roll Uphill, and then it comes back down.
dont talk to anyone in the military about it.

Ouch. My memory sucks ass, then.

E-4 is practically handed out in the army, i dont know about the navy, but ill get my E-4 just by waiting if i dont get discharged first.

Navy works a lot like the Air Force. E-1 through E-3 is time based, or you can be advanced early through college credits/recruiting people/ROTC/etc. I've been E-3 since I got in since I have an associate's degree.

E-4 and above for us is based on availability of the rate(job), a paper test we take, and our evals.
