And it’s terribly sad for trans kids, especially ones with a shithole home life situation, blocking a potential path for them to get out and earn healthcare and money for college.\
Feature, not a bug to them. They WANT people trapped where they are. They do not want people to get out. They want them to stay in the closet, and if they die, oh well. The vagueness is also on purpose: if you don't think they will be looking for other queer folk- or any one who "looks" the part in their bigoted little minds- you ain't been paying attention.
Armies have had trans soldiers literally since armies were invented. Trans soldiers literally do not impact readiness in any way other than if you spend an assload of $$ training them and then boot them out then you wasted $$ which does fuck up your readiness. But at least there’s no point to it!
Followed by deporting any non-citizen service person promised citizenship at the end of their service. Drawing down our forces to critical levels. Finally Lichtenstein's plan to conquer the United States and impose their values on us will be able to happen
Ta, Marcie. For fucking fuck's sake, it's hard enough to recruit members of the military. Then they have to be trained to do their jobs. I don't care what they've got between their legs. I only care about what's between their ears. Trans rights are human rights, period, and nothing else or less will do, ever.
So, of the 4,000 or so trans people in the military, what are the odds that 20,000 of them have a newfound hidden urge to wear dresses and take that sweet double severance and full benefits to say "see ya, suckers?"
Anybody know the psychiatric term for these publicly aired obsessions with the complete index of all known and possible forms of human genitalia? Is it "Republicanism"?
Setting aside the grossness of banning honourable trans service members, Sec Beerbreath stopping climate change concerns in the military?
Oh, my guy, the military has done tons of study on the issue, and they know they are fucked if nothing gets done. Having your coastal air fields under 2 feet of water tends to hamper a nation's "war readiness". And hampers it a HELL of a lot more than a few thousand trans service members scattered around the globe.
Just today's example of how this maladministration works hard to be as stupid as possible. I mean, no one is this stupid, this consistently, by accident. They are going out of their way to be this bad.
"Sec Beerbreath stopping climate change concerns in the military?"
Right
Can't even stay on Bigot Topic
Basically just Hatred Is Our Goal
Of course, you give the game away when you take Maya Angelou, Michael Eric Dyson, and Stacey Abrams out of the Naval Military Academy Library and leave Mein Kampf and the freaking BELL CURVE
I assume the executive branch worked out the details with Roberts in advance. They will allow it until the appeals process is complete in the 9th circuit. Guess what? The appeals process will be delayed and delayed and delayed which will allow him to get some of his evil shit done. Win, win for fascists.
A point, Marcie. You are awesome!

John Oliver's Last Week Tonight (link to YouTube) revealing the Alliance Defending Freedom BS is chef's kiss great. 10/10! One of his absolute best.

It's almost like they believe that the trans members of the armed forces are engaged in some kind of conspiracy to steal their precious bodily fluids.
Except that Jack D. Ripper might be an improvement over Hegseth.

I believe the term is "infantilism".

AND HE COMES TO WORK DRUNK
It is to aneurysm
"The louder and more frequent one's objections to homosexuality are, the more likely one is to be a homosexual."
I keep thinking this
Especially as obsessed as he seems to be with his 3000-lb workouts and his greased-back hair and his angry lantern jaw
It just screams "CLOSET"
And I'm a straight girl
No more bigots, no more incompetents, no more wife beaters, no more drunks, no more CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS. We are done with that shit.
You just decimated the standing forces.
Tempted to say "... and nothing of value was lost"
You'd prefer they be released into the larger population?
I'd think hard about that.
They are already part of the larger population. It's not like being in the military removes one from being a member of American society.

But they do have to play under military behavioural rules.
That's an additional constraint they wouldn't otherwise have.
"But they do have to play under military behavioural rules."
How sure are you of that EXACTLY?

Does anyone seriously believe the gays aren't next?
Transphobia annd homophobia are closely related.
Pretty sure you won't find a single dude in a dress in the US Military, you fucking moron.
Klinger was honorably discharged at the end of the war.

This has Roy Cohn's stank all over it.
