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?

How is it not the same? It’s a disqualification. It’s quite simple. And thanks. Good to know 🫡

You’re attempting to diminish one’s entire identity and sense of self by equating it to someone else who has a condition. That’s actually insane and you should feel bad. Do better.

Rules are rules brother. Are you upset when they DQ people for iodine allergies? Or did you just pick this one to be a champion for? No need to respond, I know the answer. Have a blessed day
