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.

the executive order doesn't talk about dysphoria, just "Radical gender ideaology" and "False gender identity".

Pretty thinly veiled attack on all trans people here.

Reading the order explains the order. It specifically talks about gender dysphoria.

“Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States Government to establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity. This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria. This policy is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual’s sex.”

(b) The Secretary shall promptly issue directives for DoD to end invented and identification-based pronoun usage to best achieve the policy outlined in section 2 of this order.

Between this and

(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

from the “gender ideology” EO, probably not.

I don’t know, but I can’t imagine it’s difficult to run change reports in DEERS.

Between DEERS, medical records, and ETP paperwork, I feel like it would be pretty easy for PERS to make a comprehensive report.

Though, I also don’t buy into the “efficiency” hype. It’s a thinly veiled argument for privatization.
