deporting illegal immigrants but the American people can't identify a male from a female. stop stupidity if you are a male, you can't be a woman so come on.

How good half man half woman is

You are a beautiful trans woman Kaitlin.\n\nGotta fix those eyebrows though - still look a tad man-ish.

What a smart and talented woman. Trump wouldn't serve in any kind of war scared he would get hurt or killed. He is such a racist against so many people. Ty for sharing.

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

There is no question anyone can be qualified to serve. My problem has to do with a society that feels entitled enough to fix nature’s alleged “mistakes”. There is no such thing as being born in the wrong body. That is a social invention. There always were effeminate men and masculine women. However, today we feel entitled to push the envelope because some plastic surgeons can make a decent looking pair of boobs but at the end of the day these gender transitions are social and medical experiments. A man who thinks he is a woman is like an anorexic woman who thinks she is fat. It is a mental disorder and should be treated as such. Offering gender affirming surgery to a person is like offering liposuction to someone suffering from anorexia. It is feeding a delusion. Our society is very sick and delusional.

Isnt she the nasty woman ??

Trans people just can't get woman so they become one?

Woman should be banned too

Is she a man, or is he a woman? Are we staring in the definition of transconfusion???

Just LEAVE…. OR stop pretending to be a woman! Fairly simple. He foisting something else.

I'm so confused, she sound like a male, and he dresses like a woman, I am so confused, because she is confused.

Why would he want to be a woman?

Disgusting!! They can't define what a woman is and they call themselves Trans woman!!!! CNN, Demoncrats and libs have become deplorables!

if u are born a woman if your born a man yer aan

You can't apply to the military if you have bipolar disorder, but you can if you are a man who thinks he's a woman?

Might be able to do the job… but belonging to a sex gender ideology cult that is controversial and demands infringement upon real woman spaces is disruptive

Jodi Ernst never looked better. Wait. She's a woman? Right. So is RuPaul.

Choose trans ....but don't go into military as a man and quickly tell your commander to pay for whatever it takes to make you a woman....do it before you enter and then NO ONE CARES.....unless that's what it's all about

Male and Female! \nThis MAN will never be a woman! just because he dresses like a woman doesn’t make him one.

whole man in woman's clothing

I wonder how many job opportunities she got, coz she was trans?\nwonder if she was selected for every job, coz she was best...\nI think people that can pass military tests(for men) can serve...but tests should be the same for men and women, not eassier for woman like they have today

Why is that man dressed as a woman? This insanity needs to stop.

He ? will never be a woman. ?

Fake woMAN awarded an airMANship medal. Lmao you can't make this shit up.\nCope.\nSeethe.\nDilate.

This is not a woman but a man.

Ahh she wants to act and work like a man but want to look like a woman.

Not a woman

why does the that woman have an adams apple?

If you don't know what the heck your are how are you going to know what to do ? I agree with the Bible !!! ?♥️??♥️??There is a Man & There is a Woman !!! ?I personally can't stand to see a woman with a man's neck !!! ?

am a transgender woman born hermaphrodites and the comments made me cry of hope because of all the support.

Hey when my grandpa (my mom’s dad) who served our military during Vietnam which he was drafted. He saw men of all walks of life even black guys go over there fight and come home in rough shape or worse. He told me one time he while he was on the army base where he was based at and he saw a black man who at the time whites and blacks were still trying to get there acts together. Was flown in from Nam on a medivac with machine gun holes ripped right through his chest and was in bad shape my grandpa said they immediately rushed him to emergency surgery and my grandpa asked the surgeon who worked on him. “Hey did that color boy make it,” the guy said “it was touch and go there for a while but he pulled through but he was that close to d¥ing.” So if any man woman whatever that serves our military is willing to fight and lay down their l!fe for our country/freedom deserves to wear that uniform and serve with honor and pride.

I cannot comprehend how this is even an issue. This woman met all requirements and it sounds like she surpassed those requirements. What the hell else matters?? How is her gender identity or sexual orientation relevant? Unreal. This woman has repeatedly put her life on the line for people who now want to ban her from service. That is shameful.

Thank you president trump for protecting the USA and its people from those 10 years ago on lists of mentally challenged disturbed unfit individuals who think being a woman or being a man is a feeling a costume you can wear and force others to participate in the delusion the democrats lost the elections and somehow want the newly elected president to implement their agenda ITS OVER respect the voters you lost will the media stop the propaganda

If you have a penis but you believe youre a woman you arent a mentally stable person. Thie transgender were looked at as perverts. Now you get to choose your own pronouns and expect me to share in your delusion that you are a different sex than what youre born with. That you too as a transgender female can get periods or pregnancy. Its ludicrous. These people need mental health. Not cutting off perfectly healthy body parts. Sex change operations do not chane your gender. It's a dangerous game to play with the rest of your life . Nobody said puberty was easy but its part of the human experience. Becoming an adult has to happen.To take the poison of hormones you will become barren. For these kids cutting yourself uo seems to be ok. Its insanity. Only disturbed people cut off parts of their body. Especially the amount of men castrating themselves. WTF? This has gone to far and Im glad to see a change with Trump in office now

How does this woman really feel sitting opposite a man who claims to be a woman - not only is it misleading its a disgrace - a man is a man a woman is a woman - you can not change, you have no idea of what its like to be a woman. Putting a wig and lipstick on my male cat does not make him female.

So that is a woman on the left?

That is a man it is not a woman and should not be serving in the military period!

I love that they picked like the best of the best. She is a real trans woman…. Not like these new trendy ones…!

He did not join the military as a woman..No u are not qualified to serve..u are a joke

How much money did he cost the taxpayers to turn this guy into someone who looks like a woman. How many psychological tests, surgeries and other costs has the taxpayer had to pay for,, and will have to pay for, the rest of this person's life because of her G.I. benefits.

Liberal woke can’t and unable to identify between biological man and biological woman.

Emily is a tough dude but he is not a woman FFS ?

God made only one man and one woman you can't change your sex why don't you want to be a pig or a hippo? Cause it's not possible

Decay of America. God made man and woman. End of story

To think that this is even an issue blows my mind! MEN ARE MEN! WOMEN ARE WOMEN! just because you grow your hair out and put make up on does not make you a woman nor if a woman cuts off her breasts that makes her a Man. We are living in a delusional world right now .

Nothing like seeing a woman speak like a man

This is a great example of why I hate this whole fake trans rants about women sports, and why I wish people would just say they hate trans people. The argument is a trans woman has an advantage over born/biological females? So if this navy commander can meet the physical requirements, then what's the problem? This is why I hate the disingenuous nature of the trans discussion, using dumb things as talking points instead of just saying what it's about. Just say you hate trans people, the idea of them. I saw the same garbage with gay marriage. Arguing about baking cakes or flowers, when the reality it's just you don't like gay people.

They need to be more consistent:: they been saying nope, you are not a woman, but they are saying, you are transitioning to a different gender.

This is a mind trip! The man that wants to be a woman, looks more like a woman than the woman who wants to look like a woman ??‍??‍??‍??
