I understand that whether a transsexual has undergone a surgery or not, they are not qualified to be in the military. If the person has not had an operation, the disqualified is that it is a mental disorder. My question is, how would they know? As long as the transsexual does not openly state his or her condition, how would the military ever know? And I understand that folks in general can get in trouble for cross dressing within the military. So what are the guidelines for this? At what points do service members get to wear civilian clothes, and then what is considered "cross dressing"?
I am a FtM trans preparing to sign up with the Navy. I have undergone no surgery, no speech therapy, no counseling, no hormone injections. The only thing that could possibly identify me is my short hair, my male clothing, and my general personality. If I do not state that I am transsexual, what can they do?
I am not unfit in any other way; I do not have depression or anxiety over my body. Basically I am asking y’all– how much can I get away with without revealing myself? Thank you very much.
EDIT FOR CLARITY: My sex is female. I have a vagina and breasts. I have not had any surgery. A doctor could not tell from my physical body.
To The Iceman: I’m asking HOW, though? I don’t go about telling people I am transsexual. I don’t have any physical evidence of being transsexual. Would they interview me? How deeply would that interview go? If I lied, would they know? Most folks I meet have no clue, they just think I’m a little off. How would they know?
