trans people shouldn't be "serving" in the military anyway. nobody should
military members should be bullied. when one walks into your place of business and asks for a military discount say count dis dick
My distaste for the military is so often immediately met with the argument that people join the torture factory with their torture degree to escape poverty.
I take the badempanada line on this: so what! We wouldn’t accept someone becoming a cop or a prison guard to escape poverty, why should we do the same for troops?
still a very prevalent myth for some reason. Most US military recruits actually come from the middle class: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/demographics-us-military
Scabs also cross the picket line to "escape poverty."
lol back when i worked at a restaurant i "accidentally" charged cops more, when they noticed i just played dumb but most of the time they didn't you just have to pull the "thanks for your service" card. i called it the pig tax.
Trans people can't help serving, it'd be like asking a gay man in the '10s not to slay
100% correct
Hot take: Banning trans people from the imperial military is a good thing that protects my trans comrades from becoming war criminals and also has a chance of radicalizing trans people who are already in the military to not be evil.
I want as many groups banned from serving in the evil empire’s military as possible. Bring back don’t ask don’t tell and go stricter. Hell, ban black people from the military, I’m sure that won’t cause any issues for capabilities.
It’s a double win, it’s protects the people who I care about being protected from the abuse of being a US soldier, and makes the imperial military less competent.
That would be so, so funny if Trump and the GOP banned everyone except cishet, WASP men from joining the military.
Banning trans people from the military is good strategically, and will cause misery. Proletarianization of scientists is good strategically, and will cause misery. I mean, that's just contradiction for you unfortunately.
Will it cause misery? Acutely in some places obviously, but I think overall banning any group of people from serving in the US military directly decreases the overall amount of misery in the world.
It protects the people who were banned from the trauma of being in the military, it protects the victims of the empire from being killed by those people, who is becoming more miserable? Some trans higher ups in the military? I don’t really care about people losing their jobs as managers at the Murder and Torture Factory
I love turning down people that try to claim military discounts at my job. They always try to get me to double-check/give them a discount anyway (I couldn't even if I wanted to). Not one has said "oh ok nevermind"
Claim their proof is fake and they're stealing valor
I'd respect the stolen valor guys more tbh, if some dude came in with a medal stack covering his whole chest claiming to be the first SEAL-Ranger-DELTAforce-Spaceforce Commando I'd give him anything he wanted.
let me check in the back for those military discounts
bathroom break time
"oh darn, looks like we're fresh out, best I can do is spit in your food while you can't see"
FTM (Fuck The Military)
agreed, but pretty funny though that trans people were disproportionately higher level officers, so now in addition to the recruitment crisis at the grunt level there's also a bunch of holes riddling more important positions. very "it hurt itself in confusion" moment
Probably a case of people at the lower levels not having the resources, education, and surroundings to realize they're trans and come out.
mashallah 🙏🙏
I'll serve c-nt before I serve in the military
Every day bitch
any time someone has said this to me i just point out that it doesnt make it right because every broke ass person could do the exact same thing but choose to bust their ass doing the work nobody wants to do for an amount of pay nobody should be subjected to instead of taking the easy road out and just joining the military

That was hilarious
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Hopefully trans people who were trained in the military don't use that knowledge against their government.
They certainly shouldn't use their training to seek out and train trans civilians! That would be terrible.
This has been and will continue to be my line on this issue. Are trans people who served in the US military criminals and morally reprehensible? Absolutely. Do they exist at a unique intersection of having important skills for the revolutionary struggle, and having a marginalized identity that orients their energy in the right direction? Also yes, at least if the left can capitalize on them instead of liberal opportunists. The tricky thing is drawing the connection between their oppression and the historical process of imperialism which they have contributed to but could help destroy.
Were most of the forces of the Russian civil war all former imperial soldiers?
I really really want to teach trans people how to do BJJ, judo, and muay thai for self defense. If they like Melee they'll LOVE BJJ. 3 new guards will be developed by the end of the first month.
I don’t think any martial arts is helping me.
If you had to pick only one of those disciplines (due to time constraints) for an adolescent to learn, which would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance.
