what i'm reading is that being joining the military as a trans person is a hack to get medical care. that's universally true; a lot of poor people have considered joining the military for healthcare (and other) benefits.
but queerness is axiomatically incompatible with the US military.
it sux, for ppl who were counting on it, that the option is gone. i'm sympathetic. but, like, fuck the pentagon.
queerness should preclude military service for the hegemonic empire. if the USA were kurdistan, i'd consider a nuanced view. since we live under pax americana (whatever that's worth), no one who is queer should be anywhere near it's military.
i couldn't find your second comment. the link breaks on my side. the first one is from cowbee, who definitely didn't disappear and who is still quite active on this topic. the last one is from someone who disappeared BEFORE the election, so also does not fit yourcriteria
you are grasping at straws. instead of tilting at windmills, why don't you criticize trump, as you expect leftists not to criticize the democrats?
those comments were made after the election and things did change. they are not evidence those positions were held prior to the election. you're just wrong
I can't speak for others. I was hoping their candidate would back off of supporting Israel and their sitting president would follow suit. it didn't happen so I don't know why you'd think I or anyone else would be pleased, or think it worked, or that that Democrats aren't responsible for their own failures
the assassination itself is a comedy of errors. they actually managed to escape only to happen to turn down an alley with an assassin.
