They say there are two things you can become while deployed: You can either spend all your time at the gym and become a hunk, or you can spend it at the free dining hall and become a chunk.

Now, it seems there’s a third option.

A homosexual female Soldier is trying to become a man.

Call her Keith. That’s the name this 26-year-old specialist, now deployed to Afghanistan, plans to take when she completes a transition begun several months ago when she started giving herself testosterone injections every other week, under the direction of a civilian doctor who specializes in gender changes.

The Soldier remains anonymous because what she’s doing is prohibited by regulation.  Aside from issues of “gender identity” as discussed in the article (‘transgender’ individuals are still banned from military service), there’s the issue of self-medicating with steroids.  It’s unlikely the military would look kindly upon any soldier shooting themselves up with steroids outside of an approved military medical procedure.

Is she being forced by the military to lie about who she is, which is apparently a heterosexual male trapped in a woman’s body?
