    Any transgender person not grateful to be discharged from the military of a fascist government is deeply confused.

    This doesn’t appear to be about policy—it looks like pure prejudice. One key point: Trump has shown repeated interest in reshaping the military with only loyalists. Banning trans people fits that pattern, not because of readiness or cost, but because they’re less likely to pledge blind loyalty to him personally. It’s part of a broader authoritarian playbook—gradual control, step by step, aiming for a Putin-style grip. He believes controlling the military could help him hold onto power.

      Unfortunately he’s not wrong.

    Waste of 1000 troops

    That’s money we’re not getting back

    It’s expensive to train troops

    America lost 1,000 troops today, self-inflicted loss

      They’re doing it to trans people and autistic people. This is dangerous stuff. It’s time to fight the Nazis again.

    Oh shit, yo trans peeps getting chopped from the military - assemble into a modernized and trans version of the Sacred Band of Thebes?! We could use a well regulated militia to mop up some Agent Orange right about now…

    Edit: THE SACRED BAND OF T’s!!

    and give others 30 days to self-identify,

    Bro’s too wasted to realize how many active service members want an out with an honorable discharge on any given day…

    Almost always the junior enlisted who just signed up to pay for college and VA home loan.

    That’s not even the ones who just hate trump specifically and take the out as a protest thing.

    Literally everyone I knew on a first contract would have put their hand up for this shit.

      You think folks will try and pull a Corporal Klinger?

      (Obligatory cross dressing and being trans aren’t the same, but it’s a 50 year old reference)

            Pretty sure that every trans person is born that way, unless they somehow fucked up with the gay bomb and made the trans bomb.

            Great now I’m just trying to figure out the combat use of a trans bomb. I guess depending on the religion or culture of the group it could fuck with them psychologically, but at that point just spike their water supply with drugs.
