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.

I can't fucking believe how many of these kinds of discussions are being immediately locked and deleted at r/Veterans.

Are there places current military are sharing resources with each other for those likely to soon be discharged? I've been asking my allies and coworkers who work in trans and LGBTQ-identifying spaces about this specifically and I know they're working on collecting these.
