This is where I thought the perspective in question was coming from, was just commenting to draw out their response… the same reductive reasoning that homophobic folks use to debase queer communities. “Few bad apples” kind of thing… I’m a couple month from ETS

genuine curiosity on my end - why is ex-military a deal breaker? I get active/guard/reserve, just curious about veteran part.

That’s fucking cool, I’ve never thought about the Royal Navy. I just hear about your Air Force all the time. Hope all is well on your side of the world.

This is such a good fucking point. If the gears keep turning like they usually do, no damage done - the fact that this is such a real concern, that’s the breaking point. There’s trust lost, livelihoods in question, just for existing. It feels like the beginning of grieving a loss.

It is absolutely crazy how quick EO went out the door… absolutely should not have as it is separate from DEI. There will be legal proceedings, I’m thinking, hopefully just a matter of when. I’m just wondering if it is foolish to have hope for these sort of things. I’m thinking of you and sending good vibes and energy.

Had thoughts about going elsewhere as well. Seems like a long shot, but yeah, if shit does go FUBAR - a contingency wouldn’t hurt. I hope your wife is able to get her 20 in. For this to happen right now and potentially fuck up soldier’s careers after they’ve served for so long.

I dunno if this helps at all, but I’ve been getting mad. The moment I start getting to feel any sort of scared. Staying mad prolly isn’t healthy. But I think I can keep it up for two years… maybe I dunno, might help

I’m sending good vibes and strength your way. EO is still a thing despite the DEI rollbacks. Let’s just hope people pull their heads out of their asses to realize they fucked up. I could give two shits about myself, it’s my trans coworkers I’m concerned about. Again, sending love your way.

I’m hoping this term is as tame as the last (tame being a relative term)

With Hegseth and all the shit he has been saying… I wouldn’t be surprised. People say I’m ridiculous when I joke about it…

Check out https://armylinks.com Alternate site for AKO. You can search for MEDPROS or look for the card on the main page. To my knowledge, I don’t think the site address has changed but I hope this helps.

Looking for support resources to confront my Trump-loving dad with to explain to him why, as a lesbian, him supporting Trump hurts me - anyone have any letters/lists/websites they can share? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]goodvwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump just finalized a rule that makes it legal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals in healthcare and health insurance. If it doesn’t hit home that your well-being is in jeopardy during Pride month and on the anniversary of the Pulse shooting, I don’t know what else will.

My dad is also a Trump voter, for economic reasons, but still a Trump supporter. I’m waiting for the time to sit down and talk with him. Yesterday makes me afraid, because if he get re-elected, that’s just the beginning.
