HRC Article:

WASHINGTON — Last night, President Biden signed the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which includes a provision inserted by Speaker Mike Johnson blocking healthcare for the transgender children of military servicemembers. This provision, the first anti-LGBTQ+ federal law enacted since the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, will rip medically necessary care from the transgender children of thousands of military families – families who make incredible sacrifices in defense of the country each and every day. The last anti-LGBTQ+ federal law that explicitly targeted military servicemembers was Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which went into effect in 1994.

Biden’s press release:

No service member should have to decide between their family’s health care access and their call to serve our Nation.

    The problem is not the core goals of woke, which I understand to be inclusivity and social justice. The problem is perfomative outrage and a relentless search for microaggressions. This will alienate people who might in other circumstances be – if not allies – at least sympathetic to the causes.

        Instead of moving the goalposts to exactly the place you want after my every message, how about you deliver your reasoning on why I should frequent with nazis like you promised.
