Female Military Recruit Forced To Shower With Two Trans-Identifying Men

 From The Daily Wire:

A military recruit who was allegedly forced to shower with and sleep alongside two trans-identifying men considered resigning after the situation caused her significant distress, according to a Republican senator. Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) said during a congressional hearing last week that he was alerted to the situation by the attorney general of the South Dakota National Guard.

“A young woman in the South Dakota National Guard experienced a situation at basic training where she was sleeping in open bays and showering with biological males who had not had gender reassignment surgery but were documented as females because they had begun the drug therapy process,” Rounds said at the July 11 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Rounds said the anonymous 18-year-old recruit was “uncomfortable with her situation but had limited options on how to deal with it.”

“If she raised her hand, she feared she’d be targeted for retaliation,” Rounds said. “She could have recycled, which would have delayed her freshman college start and would not have provided a guarantee of a different situation. She could request to leave the Guard for religious purposes and not be able to pursue her dream of serving our country.”

The committee met for the confirmation hearing of General Charles “CQ” Brown Jr., President Joe Biden’s pick for Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman. Rounds asked Brown how he would handle “challenging” situations like this.

“If confirmed as the chairman, how do you propose to handle situations like this, which I truly believe may be impacting recruitment and morale by placing a disproportionate emphasis on gender-related ideology?” Rounds asked.

“Senator, one of the things I’ve thought about throughout my career, as you’re being inclusive, you also don’t want to make other individuals uncomfortable,” Brown responded, adding that as the military gets feedback like this, “we have to take a look to see if we can improve on how we approach situations like this.” The Justice Department said in a statement that the recruit should raise her concerns with her superiors.

From Catholic Vote: 

The United States has seen a startling increase in rates of teenagers and young adults suddenly “discovering” a “transgender” identity. It is difficult to capture a percentage of American high school students identifying as “non-binary,” but “trans” activists, social scientists, and researchers agree that the number has skyrocketed in the last ten years. All give varying accounts of this increase.

What was once accepted as a condition affecting at most about 0.014% of the population is now celebrated and embraced by anywhere from 2% to 9.2% of American teenagers. In either case, that’s a nearly-200% to 920% increase in less than one generation.

The spike corresponds to the increased “education” children are receiving about LGBTQ ideology. For example, in New Jersey a first-grade lesson plan designed by “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” provides teachers with scripts, hands-on activities, and discussion questions for teaching “the gender spectrum.” At one point in the lesson on “Pink, Blue, and Purple,” teachers are scripted to say: 

Identity starts with an I. That’s how you can remember it. “I” feel, “I” know. Gender identity is that feeling of knowing your gender. You might feel like you are a boy, you might feel like you are a girl. You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are “girl” parts. You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are “boy” parts. And you might not feel like you’re a boy or a girl, but you’re a little bit of both. No matter how you feel, you’re perfectly normal!

“Only 16 students from the state’s public schools identified as ‘non-binary’ during the 2019-20 school year, enrollment figures from the New Jersey Department of Education show,” The Washington Free Beacon reported. “By the 2022-23 school year, however, that number skyrocketed to 675 students, a more than 4,000 percent increase, according to the figures. Among the 675 students who identified themselves as ‘non-binary,’ 41 are in elementary school.”

Also in 2021, Brown University launched Phase Two of its Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP), which included the following goals:

1. Doubling the faculty from historically underrepresented groups by 2022.
2. Diversify the graduate and medical student bodies at Brown, with the goal of doubling the number of graduate students from historically underrepresented groups by 2022, and sustaining and enhancing the successful recruiting of historically underrepresented groups in medicine.
3. Enhance diversity among our undergraduates with a specific focus on African American/Black, Latinx, Native American, Southeast Asian, Pacific Islander, first-generation, low-income and undocumented students.
4. Promote hiring practices, professional development and mentorship programs that will increase the diversity of staff and further their careers, especially staff from historically underrepresented groups.

Now, in 2023, the University reports that 38% of their population is not “straight.” (Read more.)
