[QUOTE="Star*, post: 528851, member: 4964"] I'm going to go out on a long limb here - but I'm a really bizarre thinker at times. And having been around multiple gays and transgender people (thank you BW and Salvation Army) I'm going to throw this out for consideration bcause - I asked a LOT of questions with the TG community - my questions to them never came off as offensive or intrusive and I was curious (not in that way) but I wanted to understand what I could and not judge therefore hopefully bridge a gap if it came up. Trust me TG people are VERY outspoken once they get out in the world or with other TG peeps. So my thought is - MAYBE your sister KNOWS what's going on with her daughter. I know you said she's an ostrich - but she also has a gigantic daughter in her room all the time who doesn't date and probably wears "butch" attire. I'm sure at some point someone, somewhere who was ignorant has made comments and it's raised questions with someone in your sisters family and that's just shut your niece in all the more. So someone came up with the idea that the ARMY would get her out of the house. And now with the don't ask don't tell law in effect? Where else would be a better place for someone who is either TG or a lesbian to meet someone and "come out" as it were and possibly gain confidence, a sense of belonging - they do teach you how to be part of the team in the Army, a sense of pride, and all the other GOOD elements that anyone of any gender, race, credo, religion learns from Army life. Someone may have figured the Army may bring her out of her shell - not just a Gay orTG shell - or even a Bi - shell - but just a shell - and give her a good boost of confidence. And no one is sure she's even gay. Suspect - okay - but maybe she'll get in the army - find out she's not the giant she thinks she is - and find a man somewhere that trips her fancy.

What I'm saying in general is - She'll be getting OUT of the house, INTO a world that is going to teach her something - GIVE her money for college.....a career - and she'll be learning, and going and doing. IF she's mentally incompetent? The Army will soon figure that out - and she'll be sent back home, and she'll ALSO probably be able to apply for SSDI - and that will give her an income - (right?) so at the least she could help for rent and utilities.
