The most important thing about this order is that the Trump is attempting to disqualify transgender people from the country's largest employer because he believes we are inherently deceitful, a lie used by men in criminal courts to justify murdering us.

BREAKING: Eight current or prospective service members who are transgender sue the Trump administration over Trump's Monday anti-trans military executive order.

It's pretty messed up and awful. I can't believe we are going backwards in how we treat people.

Nobody makes more noise about transgender people than conservatives who use them to win elections. I’m sure these DOD moves will lower the cost of eggs.

And a lie used by a man convicted of dozens of felonies for, essentially, deceit.

The most important thing is that everything Trump is doing will be litigated in court and is likely to be reversed and create precedence that will make it impossible for Republicans to create legislation against it. His actions will backfire spectacularly in the end and MAGA will lose.

Even before this take over, cops simply ignored violence done to trans people. Full stop.

This nation was not safe and only started feeling safe through social media (it was an illusion).

Hateful people saw trans joy on facebook and went feral. Called it a Virus and went on a crusade. Moral panic

With this scotus?

cat-on-a-leash.bsky.social•42 days ago

You misunderstand the scope of this takeover. The Supreme Court and Department of Justice are in Trump’s hands.

Yes there are lower courts who will try but they can’t stop him.

It’s up to the people.

Forget the military--is a government that believes this about trans people going to let us become teachers, doctors, or hold any position of trust and authority?

super-mutt.bsky.social•43 days ago

Meanwhile, America believes that anyone as obsessed about what’s in other people’s underoos as Republicans are shouldn’t be in any position of trust or authority…

Kind of rich coming from Trump and the new Secretary of Defense, the first a convicted felon and fraudster and the second a drunk and wife beater.

Have you seen the raging indoctrination trans allies have been foisting upon little kids? Hard no, nobody is born in the wrong body 😘

Visit a bar near a military base on a Friday night and check out all the humility and selflessness on display.

I work aircraft maintenance and am *trying* to change the culture. An Airman told me it's not right to judge someone for getting a DUI, so...

originalsunshine.bsky.social•43 days ago

This is exactly how it starts.

Coming from a man who thinks it's ok to sexually assault someone.

Dr. Marcie Bowers is one of the leading surgeons in the world. She could take my appendix out and I'd brag about that!
I've had many surgeons and doctors and I've never checked to see what was under their scrubs.
Nor did it matter.

I simply cannot understand the mfkers that dont see a fkn civil rights firestorm being lit right in front of them.

This shit will burn everything down, y'all. Yesterday was a good time to fight, but today is not a bad option either.

ryanmarino.bsky.social•42 days ago

A government that excludes and marginalizes trans people is a shitty, failed government that can never last

rebelgurl.bsky.social•43 days ago

The ironic thing is, most queer people are the most honest people around. They know & have accepted who they are and they live according. They don’t bury it and hide it. Those who have come out that is.

That is more than you can say about most cis people.

maryfpoppins.bsky.social•42 days ago

And quite a few conservative, evangelical "Christian" men are massive liars... They even lie to themselves.

southernspring.bsky.social•42 days ago

Yes to this.

nomadmae.bsky.social•42 days ago

This! Our queer circle is full of the most authentic, self aware, kind humans I’ve ever known. That kind of self reflection is potent.

creditsndebits.bsky.social•43 days ago

Here, here. Presenting your authentic self is brave. 💪🏾

latteschihuahuas.bsky.social•42 days ago

I would say that good thing we have a private sector but the private sector is a government subsidized illusion.....

stevestarr.bsky.social•42 days ago

Comstock and Dobbs, up very soon, too.

It’s the Lavender Scare all over again

The commitment and dedication it takes to physically change your gender is definitely comparable to the requirements of serving in the military. They are even trained to face death before basic training even begins!

churchdrummer.bsky.social•42 days ago

Where do we donate to this legal fund?

angrycreamsicle.bsky.social•43 days ago

Ah yes, 'freedom'—unless you're trans, in which case Felon 47 wants you erased from the military. Nothing says 'support the troops' like banning the ones willing to serve. Bigotry over national security—classic MAGA logic.

adamvanho.bsky.social•42 days ago

Says the draft dodger.

balloonatic.bsky.social•43 days ago

Would only the same standard be applied when selecting the new Secretary of Defense (or even President)

mightyrauros.bsky.social•43 days ago

But what if they want to sexually harass someone and it turns out they have/had a dick? Think of them, Gillian!
