First Manning, now Henry...

For those that missed it ...
To start, I really don't think Russia would be as 'accommodating' as the US is when it comes to transgender and serving in the Russian military. I don't think people realize how this only hurts those Transgender who serve, and the continued 'hatred' of the US by these few is rather 'misguided' considering how the other countries they are serving view Transgender individuals.
Secondly, we'll also see if Henry becomes 'special interest' case after the military is done with her, like Manning was (President Obama really offended both parties with that one). Manning has been basically 'blacklisted' from most 'cleared' events, as other presenters and speakers -- of both parties -- refuse to attend any conference with her.
Third, we now have to ask the honest, objective question... is there an increase of hatred of the US, and their oaths, for some cultures and individuals who associate as specific groups? I hate to be blatantly non-PC, but, yes, we have to... because when it comes to clearances and privileges, yes, profiling is very much done, and very much required, and that will always be the case. Always.
So...
Serious Q: Shoulder Transgender now be considered 'Higher Risk' for Cleared and other Priviledged and Trusted Access in Government, Defense? It would be interesting to not only look at the 'statistics' now, but ... if it's coming up.
As I've long stated ... Manning really hurt Transgenders serving, especially after her sentence was commuted, but when she was held in contempt and argued she was 'too fragile' from gender resignment surgery to serve in jail (so what about combat readiness?). And now Henry makes that even worse.

'Henry, 39, previously made headlines in 2015 by becoming the first active U.S. Army officer to come out as transgender.'
