This sounds like a completely proportional and legal response /s

This is definitely against the first amendment

I’m a recently separated transgender veteran, and I’m well connected with those directly affected by this. Most branches are taking a similar route with a option to either voluntarily separate or else involuntarily separate after a board meets to separate you. Involuntary separation will take a much longer time, however some people still might like to take it just to be done with the military.

There’s very likely going to be a temporary restraining order on the effects of these executive orders. The case to look at is called Talbot V Trump. We are expecting to see it issued in the next week.

People can be separated from the military for a number of reasons including medical reasons, disciplinary reasons, inability to do their job, or other reasons. Most people will be discharged under honorable conditions, (unless there are other conditions that would characterize it differently)

I had a friend that separated early because of something the Air Force deemed “failure to adjust to the military environment”

This is One of the major things I’m worried about.

Namely I’m worried about mental health service, and getting medications paid for from the VA. I may have to find “alternate causes” to justify taking estrogen. Or else I may have to pick up the bill on some things.

I hope nobody was dead after the crash!

Does this actually cite the GAO’s report? Or is it made up?

The child would go to the NICU and be fine

If the child doesn’t have a rare issue

You changed your position. That’s okay!

Still, there are times when abortions make more sense from a health perspective. There are also times when induced birth makes more sense. Why ban a life saving procedure? No mother wants to have an abortion at that stage, so they would go with that latter option every time that they could.

But sometimes that’s too risky for the health of the mother. So instead of a dead baby, you have a dead baby and dead mother. If it’s banned, pregnancy becomes more dangerous for any mother

Children can’t grow a brain stem that isn’t there. Or make a malformed heart work There are complications that cannot be treated

This is going to hurt planning on all levels for the Ukrainians. It would make sense if he only wanted to get rid of financial aid, but intelligence sharing is free. The US is already monitoring the whole conflict. The US is the primere space power in the world, so that’s a lot of resources to lose. The USA is sending a message that they do not support Ukraine anymore

I would like to have an ev, but I don’t want to buy from a Nazi

SPARTA is an organization for transgender service members. They provide guidance and support for trans service members https://spartapride.org/

Lambda Legal is the law firm representing transgender service members in Talbott v Trump. They are a civil rights law group that focuses on LGBT people https://lambdalegal.org/

The ACLU has been fighting for the civil rights of all Americans for Decades. They’re also involved and coordinating and recording injustices. They’re not trans-specific however they are always a good group https://www.aclu.org/

The one thing that this article fails to mention is that transgender female individuals would have to revert to male grooming standards in physical fitness tests. If they choose to “voluntarily” separate they might be placed on administrative leave and not need to cut their hair.

(I can’t wait to see how transmasc members don’t shave anymore because there are no female beard standards)

Additionally people will be ordered to misgender trans service members.

The next hearing to make an injunction is on the 12th of March and so many service members are placed on administrative leave until then.

I’m a recently separated trans veteran, and I have a lot of friends being impacted by this, so feel free to ask me questions on this

This is all by executive order, so that doesn’t work here. The big thing that would help is an injunction.

This is a side effect of fighting climate science instead of climate change

It sounds truthy enough, but there’s nothing to validate it. It’s equally possible (or rather I’m almost certain) that this is Russian propaganda designed to split the USA even more. I wouldn’t pay much attention to this right now.

That said, he keeps playing into Russian talking points as if he were Dimitri Medvedev himself

I still don’t quite understand where this space IADS is supposed to fit into national security. I suppose the idea is that the US could act with impunity against near peer nuclear powers, but that’s just going to kick off another nuclear arms race. This seems like a really easy way to make self inflicted Kessler syndrome especially since space has been mainly a EW battlefield rather than kinetic.

Who knows what they’ve got cooking. The procurement won’t be done for at least a decade or two, though I wonder what technology today can do that SDI couldn’t in the 80s

170k isn’t that much. My brother’s 2 bedroom house is that much. This is basically the salary of two people. Also why do they have the authority to cancel these?

Yep. After this I’m wondering which of my VA benefits will actually remain. I’ve lost my confidence that the VA will provide me anything. I can’t go to them for anything with regards to Gender Dysphoria, and I really don’t know what I can do. No way I’ll be able to get any VA disability (TBH I don’t have a great case for that anyways) but now I can’t trust my government at all now. I’m hoping that they’ll still accept DEI for veterans, especially since apparently we’re supposed to be good in society, but I still don’t have any confidence.

Hi! Hope I can be of service for everyone out there who needs it
