Mandatory Army training materials state that females will have to accept transgender women showering with them.

The Army has been rolling out a series of training materials entitled “Tier Three Transgender Training” to prepare soldiers to accept transgenders in their ranks, and one of the bullet points states that soldiers will have to accept austere, primitive conditions, which entails acceptance of trans women showering with other female soldiers.

The Federalist obtained the materials from an active-duty officer who completed the training last week.

According to the training, soldiers will be allowed to switch their gender markets without undergoing any kind of transition surgeries or physical changes. There are two crucial elements needed for transition.

First, a doctor must state that the soldier is stable in their new gender, and second, the soldier has to change their gender designation on a passport or birth certificate. Once that’s done, the soldier must “use the billeting, bathroom and shower facilities” associated with their new gender identity.

That means males transitioning to females without any transition surgery can shower naked in the same room with other females.

These female soldiers, instead of protesting, “must accepting living and working conditions that are often austere, primitive, and characterized by little or no privacy.”

An additional bullet point notes that females need to prepare themselves for encountering individuals who are listed as female, but still have the physical genitalia of males. The same applies for men who encounter women transitioning to men.

The training emphasizes that the onus on modifying or adjusting behavior is on the natural-born men and women, as opposed to transgenders.

“All Soldiers should be respectful of the privacy and modesty concerns of others,” the training materials state. “However, the transgender Soldiers are not required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not “match” other Soldiers.”

Former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter repealed the ban on transgenders serving in the military in 2016. Since then, the services have been working on implementing transgender policies and devising strategies to accept new transgender soldiers. Current Secretary of Defense James Mattis has given the services an additional six months beyond July 1 to prepare to accept transgenders into the military.

“After consulting with the service chiefs and secretaries, I have determined that it is necessary to defer the start of accessions for six months,” Mattis said in a recent memo. “We will use this additional time to evaluate more carefully the impact of such accessions on readiness and lethality.”
