It would be helpful if you would be more accurate in your reporting- in the first place using the correct pronouns of he/him rather than the false she/her. His real name is less important. It would be interesting to see you cover his co- conspirators rejection of him upon learning the truth of his gender.

Lock up this Watkins person. It would be interesting indeed to see the reaction of the fellow Oath Keepers as they discover one of their commanding officers is trans gender. Interesting, and funny. This Watkins person was “playin army”. A poser. But, I suppose a trigger can be just as easily pulled by a wimpy wanna be as any body else. How can a group of Donnies’s foot soldiers, costumed idiot numbskulls expect to achieve their goals when they are not a cohesive para military unit who had trained together for any length of time? What will the future hold for the good ‘o l u.s. of a?

SHE could also around her life by helping other transgender women who still suffer rejection and ignorance. I hope Jessica does just that.
