Thanks for the link. Let me know if you want me to break this down for you (I can do so in significant depth). What he is... basically... is a supervisor for a contract under an office that is about 15 layers down under a Logistics Command. To be quite frank, he doesn't actually do anything except manage accreditation of contract work. It explains a lot to me, honestly. There's far more amazing people who are "just" gay that are in very serious and important roles in the military and civilian service... who much better deserve the spotlight, but they don't get any of the presence of this guy, because he's "trans."

I don't want to trash this guy's position, because there are literally thousands of people in a similar role / position as his... (essentially, a branch chief of a sub group of a sub office under a directorate, under a command, etc., etc.,).

But I've seen this guy being brought up many times before on dozens of sites... and for the sake of this discussion, he's not in a very important position. He likely has only a basic clearance, and manages a very specific portion of IT for ARMY logistics. The "Cyber Security" aspect of it is done by a whole other group... no real reason to get into that. He basically manages a contract.




To put a finer point on it, there were just slightly over 16 THOUSAND people with the rank of Major in the U.S. Army in 2023.

That mentally ill cross-dresser only stands out from the herd because it's a freak, which of course attracts the media and Leftoids.

For every one media photo or profile of the aforementioned Army Major Rachel Jones, there must be at least 10 stupid memes or cartoons on social media, of the same hackneyed variety that Wichita likes to post.

Apparently "it" attracted Wichita as well... not that there's anything wrong with that.

Let me just lay this all out... I'm going to tell you why (in as clearest terms as I can) most people do not support this (the "trans" movement).

I fully acknowledge that I think people like you, Patrick, Fred, whomever... are all doing what they think is right. I think you truly believe you're supporting something good. As I tell my daughter, treat others as you would want to be treated. So I always treat people like this the way they want to be treated. To a degree, it does nothing for me or for them for me to tell them they're living life wrong.

But here's the problem... the goals of the Democrat party, and those who support a lot of this publicly, are not doing it because they believe in doing good. For them, it's a battle for power, and this is but one of many different ways to acquire that power... through manipulation. For these individuals, both the supporters and people like this Maj, are pawns. The "leaders" gain power by eliminating speech, and controlling a population through feigned support amongst those with common grievances. You build a coalition of the willing (if you will, to reuse an old Bush Iraq-war term), and pit them against your biggest threat to power. This is but one of many grievance groups... each with their own support group and means for manipulation.

At the same time though, that power comes with a cost... and that's our youth. Whatever the reason, mental illness is exceptionally high. It should be a shock to no one that mental illness is exceptionally higher on the Democrat party. We've discussed this ad-nauseam, it's not a matter of whether or not it's true... but "WHY" it's true. The Democrat party attracts and "normalizes" behavior that is mentally unsound. See above as to "why."

You have kids all of the world who are being exposed to multiple pressures... same as Millennials who feel they've failed because they don't have the same life as that Millennial couple on House Hunters who are looking to buy that 1.4 million dollar home because their $700k / 1800 square foot home is too small. Kids today are exposed constantly to negative narratives through TikTok, and even amongst their peers. Kids who would normally be doing weird things anyway like in any generation (whether it's greasers in the 50s, or goths in the 90s, or eco kids in the 2000s), they're turning to sexual deviancy as their go-to "clique." It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a bunch of kids who died their hair weird, used adult terms like polyamorous, and decided to change their pronouns... and then by the time they're in their mid 20s, they start to get normal again. No... *this* ideology, like what you're seeing above with that Maj, is having a permanent and irrevocable change to kids lives... whether it's simply just a wasted youth, to something much more severe like having surgeries.

This Maj in the picture above... this isn't your "normal" trans person who suffers from gender dysphoria and just wants to be viewed as a female. This is someone who's screaming for attention, and wants to feel vindicated for their own perceived injustices. This isn't a Rosa parks, this is a Cathy Griffith at best, and possibly would have been a potential Columbine Shooter at worst.


Don't get me wrong... Republicans are just as screwed up. There's a reason why so many big business / donor Republicans don't want Trump to run, and didn't want him to run before either. They love impoverished cheap labor. The more illegal aliens the better. They don't care if a bunch of "them" die in a corn shucking machine, or a fertilizer plant explosion... they're only concerned with their bottom line. To use Patrick's Go-To... "there's bad on both sides." And it's certainly true in this case... so I'm not excusing Republicans while attacking Democrats here.

Just because of that photograph, where she's holding the rainbow "Pride" flags? And that placard on her desk that says "My pronouns are She/Her... what are yours?"

I think it's impossible to blend unobtrusively into the background at all times and every moment, when you're part of a small minority that is inherently conspicuous.


Say "hello" to Major Rachel Jones, who when profiled in June of last year, had the title of U.S. Army Sustainment Command, Cyber Division Chief.

By singling out Rinse, Fred, and myself as "all doing what they think is right", does that then imply that you, randye, Wichita etc are all doing what they think is wrong? Probably not what you had in mind, but it does indicate the condescending nature of your comment.

I would hardly call that my "Go-To"... but it sure beats moronic babbling like the following nonsense.

No, it means we have a different perspective, and think that your "doing right," is ... while good-intentioned, actually doing more harm than good. Case in point, most of these people suffer from severe mental illness and need help for their mental illness, not acceptance of it. Almost every trans person I've known suffered from a laundry-list of other mental disorders, including clinical OCD, bi-polar, and in two cases... schizophrenia. Nearly all of them suffered from ASD and depression as a default.

I'm not going to criticize your character from the perspective of... I think you genuinely/truly think you're doing good. But in my opinion, being legitimately trans is an exceptionally rare condition... like one in a million. And it's become something that people have sort of "hung their hat on" as an explanation as to what's wrong with them. When you listen to people from the de-trans movement, and even my friends whom have transitioned (and then regretted it), it's the same thing... "I thought this was my problem and it would make me happy."

Gen Z and the younger end of millennials strongly consider power imbalances when considering right/wrong. They think in terms of oppressors vs. oppressed, and that drastically impacts their opinion.

That said, consider that someone like Thomas Massie also thinks the attack on Yemen was uncalled for, saying bombing people in their sleep is not self defense. Matt Gaetz, who is kind of weird to pin down but is not the typical young college kid, also criticized the move.

I think what you’re seeing is a feeling of “with great power comes great responsibility.” It’s hard to argue a response was needed, but I think it’s generally a good thing to be critical of ourselves.
