On one hand, discrimination is bad. On the other hand, less people in the military is good.

Destroying the facade of rainbow imperialism would be a major victory for the left, and republicans are doing it for us

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

True, but I'd much rather rainbow imperialism die to progressive foreign powers, rather than regressive policies from within. Oh well.

Very much a "let them fight" thing. If it radicalizes a few more queer folk against imperialism, all the better. vivian-shrug

Yes it ruins assimilation into the normative and oh suddenly a lot of combat experience pissed off people are looking for an explanation.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

If it stopped at the military and other tools of empire, yeah. But I feel it's going to happen everywhere.

Yes. It'll not cripple the military, it'll just make it less diverse and prevent queer chuds from accessing the same opportunities that cishetallo chuds have

It'll not cripple the military

sadness You're probably right, but I can hope. Maybe this combined with other recruitment negative policies will at least reduce their strength?

But recruitment is starting to climb back up, even though branches aren't meeting their quotas, so who knows.

Yeah, Trump's made it pretty clear he's not friendly to trans people, and we make an easy target.
