CAMP LEJUENE — Following the repeal of the ban on transgender service members, a senior Marine Corps officer has revealed that the service has exceeded its female gender quota for Fiscal Year 2016 by forcing select males to identify as females.

Col. John Barrett, Chief of Staff of 2nd Marine Division, believes it's just another case of how the Marine Corps leads the other branches.

The Marine Corps plans to extend Barrett's gender change strategy to every unit within three months, starting with gender reassignment for all male lieutenants with art degrees. Eventually the service hopes to include all 63 genders in its recruiting goal, such as hermaphrofemales, adrogine bisexual hemaphromales and masculine female-attracted androdites.
