Prester Jane posted:While technically correct, I would point out that your argument is of little comfort to a homeless person. For better or worse the military represents one of the few paths many transpersons have out of heinously abusive families/communities. Losing that is a big deal. Thanks, PJ, you've basically articulated my views on this matter and why even if you are the wokest, most Anti-Imperialist person ever to have Anti-Imperialisted, you should be upset about this.

The coast guard is pretty good folks. I spent a summer a couple of years back working for their historian's office in DC and it was very rewarding work. And the attractive dudes in dress pants that really showed off their butts did not hurt.

In this case, as in so many before, it's going to prove harder to roll back protections and remove rights than I think the administration fully understands. (I'd say "than Trump understands" but he's basically a senile racist grandpa randomly firing lovely neurons at this point.) Once people serve alongside out trans people, they build ties of empathy and understanding that aren't so easy to sever. I think if the administration wants to hurt trans people they're more than capable of doing it, but their regressive fifties status quo has already taken some damage.

The Shortest Path posted:That sounds loving fantastic, and I wish our lovely government worked in a similar way. I mean, in a similar manner our government has found itself struggling to pass the most basic legislation, even the stuff their corporate masters demand on pain of death, and anything they do pass they're likely to be severely punished for next year and onward. So you'd be surprised.
