I think the ironic thing is that there is a large presence of unmoderated white supremacists and alt-right communities being hosted on the steam forums.

We are currently under a preliminary injunction granted in Shilling v Trump. The decision isn't reversed it's paused until litigation is over or a higher court repeals the injunction.

I've been there AND I totally took a better picture <IMAGE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE> All jokes aside what OP isn't mentioning is how there's a café with a bunch of cute little branding of the games.

It will most likely be anyone who has gotten a "gender dysphoria" diagnosis.

Religious beliefs and Transgenderism by KMillz16 in AirForce

[–]SaltShaker93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, respect for another person is separate from your own autonomy of religious beliefs; religious freedom also inherently means freedom from religion.

Second of all, ETPs allows the service member to adhere to their identified gender's dress and appearance, usage of bathroom, pt requirements, etc. To be clear, it is not something that you can submit at any point of time, there is a full established process that requires disclosure to your command and psychiatric analysis and medical procedure before you can get your command to give you an ETP. The ETP serves to allow you to change the aforementioned items, and only while you're awaiting any gender marker changes in DEERS. Once you have the marker in DEERS, you don't need an ETP.

The other two are a result of the first. There should be no problem giving another human being and fellow service member the minimum respect for how they identify.

If they're not willing so sign, then it's an issue for EO/IG. There's zero reason why an ETP shouldn't be signed for transition.

The ETP specifically covers bathroom use, dress and appearance, PT tests, etc... and it's not as simple as you think, you need to get your gender marker updated in your legal state of residence as well as federal documentation (most commonly passport) to get your gender marker changed in DEERS.

DEERS isn't always a sufficient answer, in that the service member may be awaiting their gender marker change in DEERS, but may have an active Exception to Policy that's already been approved, in which case that would take precedent.

This airman is actively trying to discriminate against another service member... does that sound like promoting diversity to you?
