Army Goes Full Tranny

Some years ago, when I first became aware that “transsexual” was a thing, I had the distinct impression that it necessarily involved surgery, as in physically replacing a man’s sexual organs with female sexual organs.  That always struck me as a pretty permanent solution to what might turn out to be a temporary psychological affliction, but whatever.

Of course, that’s so late 80s.  It doesn’t seem to be necessary anymore:

A transgender Army civilian, who was restricted from using a female bathroom in the workplace and was called "sir" by colleagues, faced repeated instances of discrimination and humiliation at the hands of the Department of the Army, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel announced Thursday in a ruling that is being hailed as a landmark decision.

I reported a while back (though durned if I can find the link now) that the Civil Service had, on its own initiative, declared tranny’s to be a protected class.  But, what, pray tell, did bad bad AMRDEC do?

In 2010, the Army veteran received a court-decreed name change and obtained a passport and driver's license that identified her gender as female. During that time, she dressed as a woman.

Can’t Stars & Stripes come out and acknowledge that this person still has a penis?  Because that is the central issue in this whole business.

However, she agreed to use a separate bathroom facility in her workplace to allow co-workers time to adapt to her new gender. On occasions, when the separate bathroom was out of order, she used the women's bathroom instead. That prompted supervisors to counsel her against such activity, which was a violation of Lusardi's rights, the Office of Special Counsel said.

From the start, Lusardi should have been free to use the women's bathroom, the OSC said. In addition, repeated cases of workers calling Lusardi, "he" or "sir" added to a hostile work environment, the OSC said. She also was given fewer job responsibilities at that time.

Lusardi is a man who wants to use the girl’s bathroom.  I kind of get the push-back.  Where are the feminists when they could actually accomplish something useful.
