soldiers on the battlefield lacked even the basic equipment such as body armor
and overalls, the annual report published by the German parliament’s

business daily Handelsblatt reported in January
2017: “Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen has invited senior officers from
Germany’s armed forces, the Bundeswehr, to a groundbreaking workshop on
sexuality.” The workshops titled “Dealing with sexual identity and orientation
in the Bundeswehr” included eminent speakers such as the minister herself and
“a sex therapist who supports transsexuals in the army.”
