the military is evil and I mean let’s not prioritize “progressive” military action lmao but don’t act like banning trans people isn’t symbolic and a step at sweeping out LGBT rights and safety in this country either
like, having different levels of citizenship for marginalized people is uh. Bad
It would also be great if y’all could recognize that the military has historically been a harbor for the poorest Americans to ensure their survival, despite the irony of that sentence – my own uncle joined the Air Force so he could escape extreme poverty.
The military is the nation’s largest employer for transgender Americans, a population which suffers from astronomical homelessness (19%, almost 1 in 5). Your “allyship” means jack shit if you cheer for us losing our biggest secure source of employment and transitionary healthcare.
