I was thinking today about how we haven't gone to war to actually protect America in decades. People are squabbling over their rights to be used as fodder by rich sociopaths, in order to kill poor people that can't fight back.

I'm glad that trans people feel like they want to protect our country, but Jesus why are we holding up the military as some kind of ideal? It's a horrible place where people are raped without repercussion, you're programmed to kill, and then often left alone to kill yourself.

Everyone who is screaming about this is presumably liberal enough to not like what the military is about. Can we direct our anger at the cause, and not the symptoms here?
