According to a new study, biologically male military service members are twice as likely to identify as transgender as civilians. The research also noted that transgender service members are more likely to volunteer for the more dangerous missions. —

Interesting article, especially since the first paper on this topic took place in 1988 titled, “Transsexuals in the Military: Flight into Hypermasculinity.” This reminds me of a transwoman who was part of the Discovery Channel’s series: Changing Sexes: Male to Female. Before she came out and began her transition she was special ops with the marines. If you can find that documentary, I recommend checking it out.

Note before clicking that link: there is a lot of misgendering going on in this article. It’s a short article but it still missteps quite impressively there.  Also, there are currently very few comments, but as always with news articles, exercise caution in reading them.
