Opinion | What’s Lost if the Government Pushes People Like Me Out of the Military - The New York Times

( Peppermint )
There is a huge trend for men to go to the military just so they can get free cosmetic surgery and access to women's spaces. As soon as that is over they won't be going to the military anymore.

And to be able to legally kill other people

You’re not a SHE, Bree. You’re a colonizer.

"Resilient, resourceful, empathetic, authentic, trustworthy, honest" none of these are words that come to mind for describing this cohort of self-absorbed full-time liars who constantly threaten to shatter into a million pieces and constantly threaten other people if anyone looks at them in any way other than through a stack of pre-specified 'filters' and who are notorious for demanding that everyone else should pay for an infinite stream of elective surgeries as well as their living expenses because they're just so stressed out by not being able to control other people completely to handle their own shit.

There have been at least two military TIMs who gave military secrets to third parties. Apparently, the old stereotypes about crossdressing men being untrustworthy, especially in a military context, are true.

The REAL Reason Trump Banned Transgender Troops.

Did I hear him right? Up to 15,000 TiP are in the military? And almost none of them are deployable in to war zones because most are life-long medical patients. How can the US military justify investing so much money towards soldiers who will either be permanently desk-bound or on leave for nearly half their contract due to trans surgeries? That's a TERRIBLE return on investment!

But see how quickly TiP dragged women down with them? The hard right conservative would say that transpeople AND women should be barred from serving in the military (trans has consistently shown itself to be the cement shoes on women and LGB people, taking all our hard won social gains with them in to the abyss...)
