How my mind works.
Was reading about how a Drag Queen is being used to promote recruitment for the US Navy.

Drag Queens in the military. Reminded me of "It ain't half hot Mum", an old British show about an entertainment unit for the troops based in now Myanmar, formerly Burma. Totally politically un-correct but a great show. Which in turn, reminded me of this song, sung by two of the actors in the series.

But back to the news story. All this gender stuff is starting to do my head in.

I get gender dysphoria, that people feel they were born in the wrong body. That's fine. If they freely choose to have surgery when adult all good. All medical treatment needs informed consent without coercion, my position on that is firm. But immature minds and bodies, I cannot condone administering this type of life changing surgery. It really is bordering on criminal in my opinion.
Otherwise sexual dysphoric people live as transvestites, maintaining their original genitalia whilst living a life normally associated with the opposite sex. All good. Gay or bi-sexual, again all good. Live how it makes you happy, you have my absolute support. I agree societal laws should not be discriminatory towards your lifestyles. But male biological bodies should not be allowed to compete in any professional women's sports. Bad luck, not fair. (and vici versa)

But Drag Queens? Drag Queens are playing dress up so why are they included in this readjustment of society? It's a time and place thing, OK for entertainment that society tolerates but they do not demand the same respect that those people I have described above do. I would say the same about the very young and sexualised male transvestites you see dressed up as school girls and prancing around like fuckwits. They are the same as drag queens imo, not genuinely having gender issues but more attention seekers. They have different issues, not dysphoric ones. So do work places like the military, schools, hospitals have to legally have to be accepting of anything and everything that identifies their way now? For me, that's pulling the piss.

Very seriously, those in the military who approved this are bonkers and this is the reason why.
Military basic training is indoctrination. You aim to indoctrinate civilians into soldiers. You want them to leave the greater civilian societal group and their doctrine, to join the military group and adopt the new doctrine. Civilian doctrine, don't kill. Military doctrine, killing acceptable and ability to kill expected. Unlike civilians, soldiers don't think for themselves, they obey orders. They don't display their individuality, they wear the same clothes and have the same haircuts, eat the same food. Basic training indoctrinates them into their new military group, where they are accepted as functioning members. So why target drag queens, people bursting with individuality, to join a group where individuality will be driven out of you in the indoctrination process? It's just an out there idea no-one who has served would come up with.
Anyway, beddy bo bo's for me. And "puff", my mind will no longer work for a few hours.
