I have talked to people who lived around “transgenders” and some of the stories are quite scary. I actually got this in a E-mail a year or two ago when the tranny in the military debate first started.

Excerpt Begins:

” One time me and my friend ( who is a transgender male to female ) was at a store and we were browsing around when a little old lady came up behind my friend to ask them to help get something off a high shelf. and I am paraphrasing here: “Excuse me sir, could you help me with getting ( i forget what the item was ) off that shelf?”

Well my friend flew the complete “hell off the handle” as they whipped around and went on a five minute tirade saying things like “Do I look like a man?” and “Are you f**ing blind?” in a very aggressive manner. The poor old lady looked stunned as she was just innocently asking someone for help only to be verbally lashed out at by this “woman” that if she had any doubt about gender she knew for sure at this point that is was a man in a dress due to the aggressive nature of the lashing out she was receiving.

I remember standing there stunned as if just witnessing a Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde moment. I remember thinking that if only my friend had just turned around and used some damned charm instead of flying off the handle and trying to FORCE their idea of how they should be referred to a kindly old lady. An old lady who just wanted something off a shelf and wasn’t consciously or maliciously thinking about the gender expression of the person she was asking.

After that day I took steps to slowly distance myself from that person so that I didn’t “dump them” but instead just lost contact with them via attrition. I didn’t want to wake that horrible dragon up that I saw that day in the store on accusations that I stopped being their friend because they were “trans” instead the real reason was because I saw how unhinged they could be for the dumbest and most innocent of reasons. It was like if anyone “appeared” to question their own self validation, even if it was an innocent mistake, they could fly off the handle. This wasn’t like someone with a short emotional fuse, but instead someone with a volatile emotional hair trigger.

A couple of months after the “incident” in the store I was talking to my cousin who is a tall woman who lives in the country and I told her the story. She laughed after I told her about it and i asked her why she laughed. She told me that sometimes after she does her chores on the farm she sometimes stops in at the local Wal-Mart to either pickup fixins for supper or things like motor oil for her husband. She said her chore clothes are overalls and she packs her hair into a hat to keep it clean, and that one day a little old lady came up to her from behind while she was in the store and asked “SIR” for some help getting something off a high shelf. She turned around and the little old lady apologized saying something like: “Oh I’m sorry ma’am”. She said she just smiled at the old lady and said “oh, don’t worry, it happens all the time because I am tall” and they both had a good laugh about it and went their separate ways after she had retrieved the item for the sweet old lady. After she told me this I thought how different that embarrassing experience could have been had she handled it like a genuine person would have.

I have talked to other people who have been acquainted to “trans” people and the one common thing that I have discovered is that if you ask enough people they all have stories of trans people flying off the handle when someone else innocently “mis-genders” them. People wonder why I consider trans people in the military such a bad idea. I just have tell them this story and how what would happen if a foxhole if someone under fire accidentally “mis-genders” their fellow soldier. Talk about an “un-friendly fire” situation... I mean i consider myself a progressive, but this incident I personally experienced and further collaborated similar incidents with other people who I would consider progressive as well leads me to think that there is a serious risk of having someone with a such an issue in any sort of military situation. I have to say “NO” to allowing transgender people in the military, they need to get their lives sorted out first and foremost and the military is not a place for them to be doing that.

Excerpt Ends:

So yeah, this is from someone I know who is a “progressive liberal” who agrees with Trump on this issue, even though I am 100% sure they didn’t vote for Trump. I think just the whole idea of someone flying off the handle even if someone inadvertently calls them with a gender pronoun they don’t agree with is really scary, especially in the military.
