To be honest they have a history of switching sides... just a joke I heard take it easy! I dont know how I feel about this, I think it should be like anything else. Can you do the job well? if so then you belong in the military.

These people care way too much about others people’s genitalia.
Seriously, pretty much all people I‘ve met who are offended by LGBTQ people have either suppressed desires or are really insecure about their own sexuality in some way.
It’s like that Hungarian minister who constantly attacked gay people until he was found by police at an illegal gay orgy in Brussels (illegal since it was during Covid lockdowns).
There's also some women that were so traumatised by experience with men that they are afraid trans women will attack women, and creeps will claim they are trans to elude punishment. I think this is a real problem, but much rarer than it may seem, and it's not a good enough reason to say that trans women don't/shouldn't exist. Maybe it's because I'm too privileged to understand

Let's not overshadow the fact that people DO hate us just because they need someone to hate, or because their religion says to, or because their politics says to. Trying to pretty it up or make it "less bad" because they're all secretly gay doesn't help.
That doesn't make it less bad, it makes it more bad.

Yea, it's a pretty weird obsession
This motherfucker wouldn't know what it was to serve your country.
Private Bone Spurs is the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military for a second time now.
And I guarantee you if you asked a lot of the older MAGA what they thought of Bill Clinton, "draft dodger" would come up eventually.
They would tell you that Clinton was a coward, but God Emperor Trump is just a smart man.
I got out in 2017 partially because I'm trans and Trump was coming into the oval office. He had made it clear that trans people would not be welcome in his military, and I wasn't going to risk being discharged because of President Bone Spurs.
The military held him off last time, but I'm not as hopeful this time. And I just wanted to throw out there: I personally believe the GOP is going to use federal funding to essentially strip LGBTQ+ people of their rights and healthcare access. It's going to be the Minimum Federal Drinking Age Act of 1984 again, where the fed is gonna say, "Sure, you can offer gender affirming care in your state... If you do, you won't have access to XYZ federal funding anymore."
And the states will let it happen.

This is less to do with the perceived quality of trans troops and more to do with making sure that the the current target of the boot doesn't know how to fight back.
If you know anyone who is currently in the military, tell them they need to get their disability rating ASAP.
