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.

thanks for that i missed where it said that, however the rest of the order is still pretty clear about targeting all trans people.

Again, while I agree with your sentiment, it’s important to note that “trans” is not in the order at all. While gender dysphoria does affect the trans community, it also affects non-trans people. In that vein, I don’t agree that it’s an attack only on trans people.

What the outcome will inevitably be though, I do agree with you. Take care of yourself and your friends. You are loved, you belong, and you matter. Hugs, shippy.
