Thank you 9th Circuit Court!!! As a Veteran, ANYONE willing to put their life on the line deserves our respect!!! Not sure why ANY Vet can still support our draft-dodging Commander in Chief!!! Thanks to E. Reed for sharing this info!
there are no shortage of bad things that you can point to that trump has done and you choose him not invading vietnam? you support killing millions of innocent vietnamese you subhuman scum
I mean I'm at least all for draft dodging if you are morally opposed to killing but obviously Trump didn't do that for that reason. We all know if tomorrow Vietnam did something that upset that orange creep he wouldn't hesitate for a moment to drop bombs on Asian children to make an example of them.
if you were all for draft dodging you would support it 100% of the time because the outcome is the same regardless of the motivation.
I never did outright say I don't support Trump's unwillingness to kill Vietnamese farmers like good he didn't. The only thing is I wish he had actual moral convictions against murdering people since ya know... as a foreigner he scares me a lot ngl.
you said you’re “all for draft dodging IF you’re morally opposed to killing” but i guess you misspoke
☝️
Right on! On this day in particular. International Transgender Day of Visibility!
It's called equal protection under the law, that means everybody!
It's a damn shame when the civilian courts have to intervene with the Commander in Chief to protect our troops. But this is where we are.
Wonderful!
SCOTUS should maintain some dignity and decline to take appeal.
They will rule on the side of science. Only 2 genders. :-)
you should shoot yourself*

*out of a rocket for fun
Actually science has nothing to do with gender. Gender is a social construct created by societal norms. I would do some research before you spew more bullshit
Many societies throughout history welcome people expressing themselves for who they are. Many societies revere them.
Sadly the American society isn’t so open
Sadly true
They've lost the ability to research anything, all they know is what they've been told they're allowed to know. Such a feeble and frightened way to live, such a shallow and shriveled excuse for a mind. A shadow of what life is meant to be. Which makes authenticity all the more terrifying.

Tea
It never ceases to amaze me that there are Americans who want to serve their country who would be denied the opportunity, all because of what's in their pants. Real patriots who want to sacrifice their time and possibly their lives so others can live. It's un-American.
You forget USA history. They don't want women and they didn't want black men. see the recent deletions from mil websites to erase them.

They, the Right, see military service as an honor and don't want to give honor and show respect toward Black men, women, or *any* LGBTQ+ persons for any reason.
I'm a woman, I forget nothing due to the onslaught of constant anxiety just from living. Lol.

In all seriousness, the military faced huge setbacks with enrollment the past few years. While they increased their numbers, they haven't been able to retain their people. They need the help.
An “honor” that many of them dodged. Trump, a dodger, should have NO say in who is or isn’t military ready.
🍾
Just keep that away from Hegseth.
They gave Zelenskyy a hard time about how he dressed look at kid rock, it’s unbelievable it’s amazing you fucking people let this happen. It’s amazing if Joe Biden wear to do something like this, you would have him thrown out just like you did . fuck you had him throw it out. Ain’t that a bitch

All fascists are bound to lose.
Trans people are another tool to stoke hate among the right so they'll get out and vote. Just like abortion..., illegal immigration..., whatever. Every non-issue becomes an issue for those trying to build and consolidate power.
And they will never succeed. We were always there and always will be.
One of my go to's to the "facts don't care about your feelings crowd" is, "trans people exist, and that's a fact. I'm sorry your feelings can't handle it."
AH I think I heard a toilet flush somewhere The Ollle Orange Toiletbrush won't be happy bout this, fucks with his plans to carry out project 2025 kick rocks cheeto lookin ma fucka!
damn, cant easily avoid the iran draft anymore
Hurray!!
Happy TDOV!

Yes, a good day for this good news!
I am very happy a court finds trans people are protected same as all other people. But I am surprised. We need to support trans people and others targeted by Trump admin because it is our turn next. Together we survive.
The Courts MIGHT be honorable (well a majority) but w the likes of Aileen Cannon and Thomas and Alito…we remain in jeopardy.
I agree. But one way out judicial system safeguards us appeal so it is never the opinion of one judge that prevails.
Except now some GOP have wanted posters w judges faces hanging outside their offices! That’s how bad it is! RESIST!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a nomination for “post of the night “ !! Bravo, I salute you madam 👏🏿👏🏻👏🏾👏🏽 (Inspirational/ Real 💩/ Judicial + Resistance Worthy categories)
About time 🇺🇸🇨🇦🐕‍🦺🍁
There is lot of comparisons to the HANDMAID'S TALE.
Good.
YESSSSS!
I don't expect any actual heroism from the courts down the road, BUT...they have started to notice that if they don't get ferocious about their relevance very quickly...they won't have ANY relevance for very much longer.
They will be systematically abused
Let’s go! West Coast!! 🇺🇸
It's sad and pathetic that chicken poop like Trump and his kids too afraid to step up and defend this country even as they try to prevent those with the courage for it from doing so.
A win for everyone. They should have never been banned.
I would never have the heart to tell someone that before they go somewhere and risk their lives for me and my country they have to tell me if they were born with a whowho or a dingaling. But hey I’m a radical I guess.
I mean fuck the military-industrial complex and fuck the concept of imperialism but like whatever a win is a win.
Take a page from the Felon's legal actions and run out the clock.
1,390 days.
To be clear, they denied the motion to stay.

This fills me with great joy. I’m hoping the gender marker passport thing will be corrected next.
This presidency has felt like a literal WAR on the people. But then, at the last moment- the judges swoop in and hold up his evil plans. And DEMOCRACY lives to fight another day.. 💙💙
They are completely mad. Why are they so afraid of trans people? Unbelievable.
More power to you!
We're too powerful. We're a living testament to *doing something about your problems* and that scares them because they're losers.
I heard about this on NPR. The DOJ Attorney was unable to show how being transgender affected military readiness. (Because it doesn’t.)
The plaintiffs were all transgender service members with spotless records.. which were the primary physical evidence used to prove transgender people can serve without problem.

The Trump team's argument had *zero* evidence to support their theory that it inhibits readiness in a meaningful way.
Primarily because the Trump administration is trying to Coup the judiciary which doesn't work well for future legal battles because it is a distinct bias in adjudication
Nice timing. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
Maga christians trying to rewrite We the People definition to we the white christians.
They need to just get out before they get sent to Iran. He WILL set them up for an ambush.
This happening on Trans Day of Visibility just feels poetic.

Fantastic news. Happy TDOV.

Visible trans people make the world better.
How long will it take until this sham government tells the 9th Circuit Court to go fuck itself? They're ignoring other rulings, including the one that demands they reinstate employees they fired without cause.
The corrupt Supreme Court will overturn the appeal courts decision.
Perfectly timed! Happy TDOV! This is such good & needed news. It’s a win in a battle that rages on. I will always stand in solidarity w/ the trans community and fight for trans rights! #tdov #transrightsarehumanrights #fdt #bluecrew ✊🏾🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
Lower court win again, thank you Biden!
I’m happy 4 this move. No LGBTQ or trans individual has ever done me any harm while Republicans have callously stood by as Trump, Musk and their billionaire bros are stripping away our entire lives.

Their calculated cruelty is all done to enrich themselves.

There’s never enough money 4 them.

I love the citation to another case in Trump's first term where (presumably) Trump wanted an administrative stay and the Ninth Circuit told him to fuck off.

It's lawyer humor. 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry to everyone else. 🤭🤭🤭
Great news!
Best news I’ve heard all day…
👍
This is good, but it's far from enough to pacify me.

I won't stop boycotting and protesting until Trump and Musk are both in prison.
reply
And non of us should. The reaction is still extremely underwhelming. This fight hasn't even started and we are way behind.
Trump and Musk are never going to prison. Never. So to me, the next plausible step is looking at a system that ALLOWS them to stay out of prison. That's the target.

#2waysout
Never say never.
We can demand literally anything.

ANYTHING!

We control the cash flow.
Why do you have to make demands? If we have the collective power you say we do, then we don't make demands. We take what we want.
That's not outside the realm of possibility.

See: French revolution.
I didn't say it was outside of the realm of possibility. I think it's entirely possible. I just don't think anyone needs to make demands. Making demands implies the need for permission. No one needs permission.
Do you?
👏👏👏👏
That's very true! The US got word of his Russian connection in 2015. Still ran for election, supposedly won, investigated, still let run in 2020, lose, still allowed him to run for 2024.
The US should have disqualified him in 2015-2016.
The ultimate form of disqualification is to not vote for him. Sadly, we have people who have done so twice - and arguably more this time around. What do you *do* with those people?
Clearly it's time for them to go to nursing homes.
I really do not believe it fully has anything to do with voters.
Sure, if someone is stupid enough to vote for him, i hope they're regretting it, but acting they enjoy it. I feel the ones thats in the us government are paid off
Be careful not to fall into conspiracy thinking. Regardless of the orange guy's boats, millions of people did in fact vote for him.
Chump is the master of ILLUSION. HE WILL MAKE THINGS APPEAR TO WHERE IT'S BELIEVABLE. That 2nd picture is the aerial view of the rally in PA, where the attempted assassination went on... NO ONE could leave bc police investagation... AND THATS IT!
Comment image
Exactly right
Yes. This and as much as it may make some uncomfortable, the reality here is that they didn't put themselves in power forcefully with guns drawn. Trump at least was elected and you know what trump is? He is a mirror. We can't pretend erasing them fixes the problem. It's only been 75 yrs since WW2.
It has only been 61 years since the US stopped being an aparthied state. That's what they're all mad about.
Oh absolutly. Personally it wrecks my brain trying to understand racism. How can you look at someone and determine their worth based off their skin tone. That's no different then judging based off clothing colors. Like how the fuck does that translate to worth? It's the stupidest train of thought.
It's a basic bully mentality. Some people either learned or decided that self worth only occurs at the expense of someone else. They've rejected the concept that there is a fundamental value in each life, and can only value themselves relative to how far beneath themselves others are.
Thank you!! That’s exactly what has to be done.
The 2nd amendment is obviously not fit for purpose. If it was, it would have been used successfully by now.
Oh lord just another loss. 👊🏾🇺🇸🔥
Some good news! 😊
If you want to serve you should be able to!!!
YAY!

Off to the Supremes, we go!!!

Amazing. I have yet to hear anyone that has anu legitimate problem with a trans person. Usually the problem is the hatred & lies spewed at the trans person. They are only people. They may think differently about themselves than you think about you, but both are still people.

Great news!!
Transgender people are not your enemy. Billionaires who want to rule the world, disobey laws, and destroy government are!!
💯
It won’t stop them from trying again. It’s what his ilk want. As long as he keeps trying he keeps his bigots happy.
They're already expelling more Venezuelans despite a court order to stop. I guess they can just do whatever they want. So..
Trouble will come when trump ignored the order, and the court has no means to enforce it.
YAYYYY!!!

woot woot Making the Military stronger with each person because we operate as a team not Str8, Queer or Trans.
It’s these kinds of stories that our national media ignores and that Trump pardoned a corrupt billionaire last weekend who defrauded investors of millions
I feel seen.... hopefully they dont' see me sneaking into Canada to avoid the draft..... but for today, this is good.
You'd thonk this fukin country would appreciate EVERYONE that is willing to enlist
Every win for trans rights matters, but many of us are still struggling just to exist. As a trans refugee, I see how policies shape our lives. Let’s keep pushing for safety and equality everywhere.
Woohoo!!!🎉💪🏼
Remember he has yet to obey any judges orders!!

And tbh...they are AMAZING soldiers!! At all levels!! But this administration is disappearing people and torturing people. We need to protect them NOW!!!

See Y'all in DC on the 5th!!! THIS SATURDAY!!!

Ok I'm calming down. Calming down.. sorry I'm like a newborn vampire at 5 months 😂🤣😂
There's not a single Trump voter in my town that doesn't know my name, and curse every time it is mentioned.

Just the way I like it.
I want out of this fucking red state
🙄 you're so lucky they said you had a starting boobs already they said 6 inches band to bust and my boobs do not like bumping into things.
YES
Of course they have. It’s an unconstitutional executive order, and Congress did not do their job to deny it and impeach Trump for not upholding the Constitution.
Tra
I wonder what it would be like if people minded their own business and didn’t decide people couldn’t do something bc of who they are? Sigh.
it was interesting to hear deliberations: the "government" presented unsupported claims, and had a fast talker deliver complete bullshit the court rejected.
👏👏👏 keep up the work judges follow the constitution
The regime is having a field day looking under every possible rock for any imagined infraction to put more of a chokehold on the nation. These attacks on higher education and law firms are from a fascist playbook. The despot's clown posse has the ideas then tells him after the fact. He's clueless.
Block, block, block!!!
Beautifully done!
Good!!
We need to support the courts that are upholding our rights. Maybe mass letters and messages of "Thanks for preserving out rights" from people. Hey? 😉
He would end up with a restitution cheque and a national public holiday
Awesome!
thx god there's some common sense and esteem in the courts
Yay ^^
Nothing will happen to Trump unless congress and senate are flipped
Needed some good news.
my friend in the military told me there are some trans folk in the higher up positions iirc, so i am not surprised they won't ban it

USA :
Their attempts to ban Our Transgender service members from serving openly is totally unacceptable & unconstitutional. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for our freedom & democracy which is more than the "spur guy" ever could have done.
Finally some good news!

Amen to that!!!!
Trump, enjoy your Transgender military, bitch!
I'm sure he will when he's ordering it to march into Greenland and Panama. Trans people may be allowed in the US military but they shouldn't join.
Then I hope, it's one of those instances where we snaps his fingers and nothing happens.
But the key is that we have that choice. Like so many other things should also be. Our lives, our choices. Not the choice of a handful of questionably senile old white men.
@mskohut.bsky.social

The threat is real, but defenses are holding.

Get LOUD!
The psychological is irreparable. Our military is gravely harmed.
Repost them when you find them. Youll know the ones im talking about.
I wrote a couple posts. You inspired them. Read my posts/replies in my profile. Not too far down.
A wound will heal. It becomes a scar. Wear it proudly!
HELL NO! No one should have to be traumatized bc they are Trans and in the military.
That's my girl!
Get ready for worst regardless
Absolutely!

You cannot use the words transgender in a sentence. Apparently you've missed the latest guidelines.
Very tangentially here, slowly, slowly the penny drops for a thick person (me) dumbfounded by the switch in people who, on the one hand, used to hate anyone who didn’t hate Russia and who, on the other hand, now admire Russia….

banning trans people from the military is the only based thing trump ever did
You know what would be even more "based" is if you actually knew what he did. They weren't banned. I'm confused because you support marginalized groups on your profile but just not this marginalized group? K.
He might think the American military is evil and nobody should serve in it.
the less goose stepping murderers serving the us imperialist machine the better
the bill did not ban trans people from conscription even if they're banned from normal service . . . they'll just be written up as male and sent off to Korea or Poland.

Unless you are saying that trans people don't belong in the army which would be simply, Incorrect.
Accepted for Conscription in a time of national emergency would remain to be seen.

As a veteran and trans woman, I say that all who want to volunteer to serve their country should be able to do so.

I have a friend who told his Vietnam-era draft board when his draft number came up that he ...
was gay and they let him go. He said - wrong war. He is a strong and constant supporter of Veterans and Veteran benefits.

I wish he had just chosen Conscientious Objector status but he didn't know about it.
no one belongs in the us military because it does nothing but create death and misery for oppressed people
that is very fair, especially with the recent developments the US military seems to have completely dropped the idea of reducing civilian casualties.
The issue with the EO is that it took away peoples’ right to choose. Banning a small section of people not on merit is not the solution you seek. The solution you seek is an overhaul or dismantling of the system itself
Ya gotta love that 9th Circuit!
This is very good news indeed.

I'd like to state again for the record that I prefer a private bathroom cuz these cis men seem to have very little home training or basic understanding of germ theory. But yes, all the rights for us (and hand sanitizer....and bleach please)
Omg. That is one thing I've never gotten used too. 99 percent (yes 99) of men do not wash their hands. When you shake hands, remember, they just touched the Lil man and walked out.
If you're lucky that's all they've touched. The real thing they should have added to the Harry Benjamin Protocol back in the day is a thorough screening for OCD. Of all the hoops I had to jump through that's the thing they never asked
I think of that every time I reluctantly shake a guy’s hand… 🫩
I'd feel a 100% safer with a trans person than a MAGA person.

Unfortunately the regime doesn't care about the law or the courts.
Litigation is a form of nonviolent civil resistance!
The reason Repubs want to impeach judges, is very simple! The judges are so much more intelligent than these non-intelligent politicians, it is ridiculous!

Gotta love the 9th Circuit
Just temporary.
Don't like transgender people? Get over it and find something real to be upset about like the economy or the collapse of the U. S. democracy.
or fascists . . .
It was ‘her emails’, Hunter Biden & ‘wokism.’
They always need hateful rhetoric to reinforce their innate hatred & ‘oh poor me.’
Because many of them are just Not good people and they need to project that onto others to convince themselves they aren’t bad people.
Look at all the “but the bathrooms” people that have been caught and convicted of sexual crimes, often involving CHILDREN.
Most people don’t dislike transgender people. They want to protect children and women and language first. That’s their priority. Transgender people are down the list for most people.
This is WHY they are creating noise about trans people. In England they make a huge noise about immigrants. They do this so that nobody asks why the health service is in a shambles, why the police never respond to crime and why nobody can afford thier electric bill. Works like a charm.
Hi Owen, I’m just new on BlueSky. But I don’t understand your post. I think you mean everyone IS asking about the health service, crime, education and so on. That’s why they’re blaming other people: because of those very things.
Welcome to BlueSky! Actual people complain about how everything is broken or expensive, but I've never seen any politician remark on it except in a glancing way, or to actually blame immigrants for the state of said services. I've only rarely seen it mentioned in the press or media either.
Good, It was a stupid ban anyway.
Whoo hoo! Happy #TransDayofVisibility!! We see you. We love you. We support you!!!
