I just...For f**** sake...Every goddamn day they come up with some new level of petty fascist BS. All the more reason to attend the "No King"s protest I suppose. Trump doesn't get to have cute little dictator birthday without push back.
I was really concerned the military was going to give trans folks a shitty discharge code. I know with certain discharges it bars you from legally owning a firearm too.
I'm not trying to debate firearms here, and won't engage in that discussion in this thread. It's messed up that their discharge may strip more of their rights away.
What the fuck are these assholes so afraid of? How many transgender military are there? How many transgender doctors, lawyers, teachers, butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers are there?
This is pure and disgusting discrimination against an already marginalized community of human beings!
Why do they give a crap about everyone’s chests and genitalia?
I have some rough numbers, if anyone was wondering. Okay, so the Department of Defense estimates there are 4240 trans active duty service members, though it may be as many as 8000.
Trans femmes are most likely to be targeted, but trans mascs aren't safe either. Even if someone had begun transition prior to military service there wouldn't be any easy way for them to hide they're trans because of their physical, and just the nature of the military. It's not impossible, but difficult.
Angry doesn’t even come close to how I feel about this. There is no excuse whatsoever to give ANYONE not convicted of espionage, mishandling classified materials or some other serious crime. Being Trans doesn’t make you a risk to National Security - the jack*ss in the white house and his sycophants are the ones dangerous to the security of our republic. I sincerely hope that every one of them be cursed to step on a LEGO with every step from now until the end of time.
This is sickening. As a veteran, I'm over-the-top pissed about my military brethren (including all genders) being forced into such a disgusting display of bigotry & discrimination. All because we're not what THEY want us to be? Christian my ass. They are not God. Those people are right-wing, evangelist, white supremacy extremists and don't care one bit about God. They don't care about our service to this country, either. UGH! We're screaming into the void in this country. Fascist pigs.
I so agree the felon and felon followers will go down in history as you mentioned the worst human beings in American history. That part of history will not be erased.
Meanwhile, the people who are 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 threats to national security, proven by their own extremely public misconduct, are the ones running the damn nation.
The naked hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. They're flexing, just to show that they can.
I am so appreciative you posted the sponsors of the felon birthday bash parade. Now I can distract my anger sharing the information and going to websites to express my displeasure.
Those F'ing MF'ers. 42 U.S. Code § 1983 & 18 U.S.Code § 242 prosecutions for everyone of the elected/appointed people doing this. Every one of them.

This is deeply disturbing.

Trans people make up a larger percentage of the armed forces than you might expect. Trans people also occupy high ranking positions as well.
It's going to very negatively impact our military baring trans people from service.

Bastards.

This is more the then disgusting
I am so pissed that I don’t even know what to say anymore
Trump and his cohorts will go down in history as the worst human beings in American history

As a veteran I can say that this is horrid. These dedicated service men and women should not be discharged and when they do it should be honorable.
With no damn markers on their DD214's. That's fucked up!
Meanwhile, the people who are 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 threats to national security, proven by their own extremely public misconduct, are the ones running the damn nation.

Beyond disturbing, this is so petty and vindictive, and downright sadistic.
And it is only June.....
It's hard to get my head around some of this.
That’s why I was in the front at the start of nokings today in NYC.
