On one hand, discrimination is bad. On the other hand, less people in the military is good.
Destroying the facade of rainbow imperialism would be a major victory for the left, and republicans are doing it for us
True, but I'd much rather rainbow imperialism die to progressive foreign powers, rather than regressive policies from within. Oh well.
Very much a "let them fight" thing. If it radicalizes a few more queer folk against imperialism, all the better.
Yes it ruins assimilation into the normative and oh suddenly a lot of combat experience pissed off people are looking for an explanation.
If it stopped at the military and other tools of empire, yeah. But I feel it's going to happen everywhere.
Fuck the military but it's absolutely a bad sign because anything they do in the military reflects what they're going to do outside of it. Changes in the US Military almost always presage changes elsewhere in US society. It went that way with integration, gay and then trans acceptance - and now they're rolling the last one back.
Yes. It'll not cripple the military, it'll just make it less diverse and prevent queer chuds from accessing the same opportunities that cishetallo chuds have
But recruitment is starting to climb back up, even though branches aren't meeting their quotas, so who knows.
Yeah, Trump's made it pretty clear he's not friendly to trans people, and we make an easy target.
