Trump regime about to fire nearly14,000 transgender military troops

Advocate - An estimated 13,763 transgender service members face dismissal as the Supreme Court announced it would allow President Donald Trump’s transgender military ban to take effect. The Williams Institute estimates there are currently 1.4 million transgender Americans in the U.S. That means nearly one percent of transgender Americans stand to lose their jobs under the ban.

Anonymous said...: I don't know why anyone would expect anything different. The military has always been an insular club for fearfully-het, supremicist White boys whose families were able to afford them a university education. Every attempt to loosen their stranglehold has been met with apocalyptic hysteria [and I use the term "hysteria" intentionally].; January 28, 2019 at 7:15 AM
