Are they good at their job?
Are they good at their job?
That’s the first thing I would want to know about someone I am serving with, who I’ve met for the first time.
I don’t really care what they identify as, or what colour, gender etc they are. As long as all is IAW KR’s, and they hold a security clearance, then I’m more concerned about how good they are at their job, and can I trust them 110% professionally if I need to.
I’ve served with plenty who are straight male/female, who identify as such, but are utterly useless at their job. I wouldn’t want to cross the road in their company, let alone go to war with them. Yet if a picture of those individuals ended up on X/Twitter, nobody would bat an eyelid.
Yet we simply have a picture of three RAF personnel on the internet, and they receive a public bad-mouthing by many on this forum.
They may be exceptional at their jobs (perhaps not-who knows).
I have my own personal views on gender neutrality which i shall keep to myself.
Would be great if some focus could be put on fixing the heating in the block though…
