The one thing that this article fails to mention is that transgender female individuals would have to revert to male grooming standards in physical fitness tests. If they choose to "voluntarily" separate they might be placed on administrative leave and not need to cut their hair.

(I can't wait to see how transmasc members don't shave anymore because there are no female beard standards)

Additionally people will be ordered to misgender trans service members.

The next hearing to make an injunction is on the 12th of March and so many service members are placed on administrative leave until then.

I'm a recently separated trans veteran, and I have a lot of friends being impacted by this, so feel free to ask me questions on this

What organizations would be best to help support them during this absolute nonsense.

[–] Estiar 11 points 4 days ago

SPARTA is an organization for transgender service members. They provide guidance and support for trans service members https://spartapride.org/

Lambda Legal is the law firm representing transgender service members in Talbott v Trump. They are a civil rights law group that focuses on LGBT people https://lambdalegal.org/

The ACLU has been fighting for the civil rights of all Americans for Decades. They're also involved and coordinating and recording injustices. They're not trans-specific however they are always a good group https://www.aclu.org/

Democrats need to filibuster every garbage transphobic bill.

This is all by executive order, so that doesn't work here. The big thing that would help is an injunction.

but they wont. they're happy to punish minorities when they get voted out for being anti-worker class.
