45's trans military ban goes into effect

Post by Fuzzy Necromancer »

Now soldiers cannot get treatment for gender dysphoria in their GI health and, if you've had SRS surgery in the past, you cannot enlist.

But then, people knew what they were buying, and you get what you paid for.

I was talking about 2016. Sanders and Trump voters both. We all knew the stakes, and we made our choices. Now we gotta sleep in this bed.

I'd say "Transgenders didn't choose this future" in response to that, but we all know there are people like Caitlyn Jenner.

As glib as he's being about it, I admit there is a part of me that kinda agrees, but I won't let my anti-militarism get in the way of advocating for every one of us having the equal right to register to die for the state that doesn't actually care about you. :|

Hillary won the popular vote. -__- Don't put this on the voters. We did our best to stop him and our best wasn't good enough.

I'm no fan of the military industrial complex, but banning trans people from military service is an important step towards eliminating them from the rights of citizens and public life. It creates a legal precedent for future enshrined bigotry.
