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.

Destroying the facade of rainbow imperialism would be a major victory for the left, and republicans are doing it for us

Yeah, Trump’s made it pretty clear he’s not friendly to trans people, and we make an easy target.
