Not the Bee.

So this is a dude pretending to be a girl?

quote:

In the middle of the chaos of the Taliban's Sunday takeover of Kabul, 32-year-old Josie Thomas, a transgender government contractor and former USAF sergeant, has found herself trapped with several of her colleagues.

Thomas sent tex messages, that were obtained by the Los Angeles Blade, detailing the situation on the ground. They read that Thomas was aware of the immediate danger, that Taliban fighters were in the city, and that Afghan security personnel were no longer at their posts, having abandoned them.

Thomas "also expressed frustration at the lack of communication regarding the lack of a presence of U.S. military forces to assist," the Blade reported.

They are stranded at what is known as Camp Alvarado, a facility located close to the Kabul airport. The American Embassy in Kabul has also had to close for security reasons. American citizens in Kabul have been warned not to go to the Kabul International Airport, as there were reports of the Taliban firing on it.

Somehow it’s like the fantasy world of the people who got really comfortable in the 2010s is suddenly crashing down as soon as reality hits.

Taliban in for a surprise when they enter the rape rooms, and if I know them, it’s a pleasant surprise

Let's not do this. This is still an American service *uh* person, I guess.

I want good outcomes for every American, regardless if I think they got proper health care or not.

Looks like he's gotten himself into quite a pickle. Good luck explaining to Muhamad which hole to use when he rapes you.

You can be sure the Taliban will respect his/her pronouns.
