No, that had to do with homosexuals, not transgender individuals. Didn't make any sense for homosexuals, though.

And most homosexuals have no desire to be the opposite sex. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <authfriend@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Seraphita" <s3raphita@> wrote: > > > > > > - In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" wrote:> > > > Manning says she's always been a woman in her mind/psyche. > > > > > > This Manning "chap" becomes more embarrassing by the day. > > > From the Wiki article on the US Military and gays I read: > > > While restrictions on sexual orientation have been lifted, restrictions > > > on gender identity remain in place due to Department of Defense > > > regulations; transgender Americans thus continue to be barred from > > > military service. > > > > > > Sorry Chelsea - you're in the wrong line of work. > > > > Not any more.
