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

sadness You're probably right, but I can hope. Maybe this combined with other recruitment negative policies will at least reduce their strength?

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.
