What about the other 50 genders?

I feel like I've fallen down a rabbit hole.

So the military admits that there's gender differences and one test won't work for both halves of the human species? Who woulda thunk it?



Get a man's test for that huge beast with boobs in blue.

The old FM-7-22 stated this:
A-1. The APFT provides a measure of upper and lower body muscular endurance. It is a performance test that indicates a Soldier’s ability to perform physically and handle his or her own body weight. Army Physical
Fitness Test standards are adjusted for age and physiological differences between the genders.


I wonder how much time and money was wasted trying to come to a conclusion that was already known? I served with some cool Army Females, and some were in pretty good shape for females ,but even the most athletic females would struggle to pass the men's standards. Men are generally bigger, faster, and stronger it is a biological fact. Sure you can find outliers here and there ,but it is definitely not normal and is a waste of time and resources to try and find said outliers.

If they want to be treated like men and do a man’s job then they should not get any special privileges

Aren't official government accounts not allowed to block anyone? Wasn't that precedent set under the last President?

The military should never have been seen as a “job.” It’s about destroying the enemy. I don’t give a damn about fairness when it comes to warfare. I care about killing the enemy and completing the mission.

The notion that diversity is our strength and making allowances for females is flat out wrong and gets our troops hurt/killed to appease bureaucrats. These people demanding women in combat roles should be tarred and feathered.

The Soldier can choose which one they want to attempt. A little over 2 minutes to pass, and over 4 to max.
