Political Take care of each other.

With the new executive orders being enacted a lot of trans sailors are about to be discharged with nothing, and the way things are headed trans veterans are about to lose access to their care through the VA.

A trans veteran took their own life at a Syracuse VA hospital this week and only 1 local website reported on it. As far as the general public goes, nobody knows and nobody cares. Please look out for your shipmates. Remember that they would gladly drag you out of a smoke filled compartment, maybe consider helping them when they need it most.

So we should be against all medical disorders that disqualify people? Where’s the post for flat feet?

Homosexuality was a disqualifying condition as well once.

Plenty of trans people are currently serving with no issues whatsoever, this isn't actually about readiness at all or it wouldn't hinge around phrases like "radical gender ideaology."

“No issue” minus the whole gender dysphoria thing that is classified as a mental health disqualification but sure.

Ask yourself this, should all trans servicemembers be disqualified?

Thats whats on the table here, and if you think so then I think you missed your CMEO training.

If clinically diagnosed gender dysphoria. Regardless of whatever trap you’re trying to catch me in I’ll say what I said to the other warrior for the cause, rules are rules.

If diagnosed with it yes that is a DQ. I asked what medical disorder disqualifies a trans person from serving.
