Private Dekket, Private Waines, Sergeant Wedingo

This was fairly similar to a conversation I had with my wife and brother-in-law, my brother-in-law supplied the conclusion.

I really should clarify given some of the comments below. I personally have no problem with anyone transgender or of any sexual orientation. I found the conversation and the “Indian Burial Ground” comment amusing and a rather strange point of view that I wished to put in the comic. I, however, support all walks of life and as a scientist am well aware that by all technical standards everyone starts out as a woman and through a series of genetic influences and hormones become the gender which they “end up as.” I am also aware that some people do not end up as the genders they would chose to end up as and these things become complicated as the brain tells the body it is one thing and the body disagrees. This is simple biology, well not simple, but still. I commend those who would adjust their physiology to suit their emotional and mental needs, as that tends to work better than being frustrated and doing horrible things to themselves or others. That being said as a human being myself it would be strange to find out that someone I was dating used to be something other than what they are now, physical attraction is a superficial thing, but to a degree we’re all guilty of it, I think I might even react in a similar fashion if the person were say formerly very very overweight or had a disfigurement that was corrected, it would set me back and perhaps be something that I dwell on, as I am not a perfect person, I would hope I could get past something like that, but I have no had the opportunity, so I can not be certain. I hope that this comic has not offended anyone and if it has I offer my sincerest apologies, my intent is always to entertain, not offend. Though I realize sometimes things which are insulting are often (usually) offensive, thus I do my best to insult everyone, including myself (see past and future jokes about Serbs).
