One you have a chance in hell at changing their mind on that topic, and the other will tell you to fuck off or perhaps strap you to one of those bombs. But, sure, protest vote away, I guess. "Both sides" and all that.

Nailed it.

Just look at Barrack "Black Drone Operator" Obama, and Joe "Sniff Sniff" Biden who is a blatant Zionist who acted chocked and insulted when he was called a Palestinian (I believe by Trump). Both supporting the violent occupation of Palestine, of course.

Deep down I knew there was no chance it wasn't forced. They're actively ignoring other court orders so I guess even these evil fucks sometimes realize to pick their battles.

I'm sure they are worried about driving away talent as well.

this is a sign that the military is concerned with honoring their oaths to uphold our Constitution

They want meat for the meat-wall. Let's not get too optimistic.

No, really, the world's largest volunteer fighting force, and we also have the distinction of the world's biggest and most powerful military, so the brass had to do everything and anything to keep the ranks open wide for anyone who wants to go get themselves killed while burning brown kids in far away lands.

The slightly less cynical take is that we absolutely cannot diminish our enlisted forces any more. We have growing threats from Russia, an unstable president who may start a war with Iran for fun, instability between China, Taiwan and Philippines, just to name a couple of hotspots. If we get in a large-scale fight and don't have every advantage we're very likely to lose all status in the world.

The administration knows this. They are distracting you all with these culture-war bullshit fights knowing full well that most of them will either get shot down in court or overridden at some point. While we're all focused on trying to stop the latest bill to force toddlers to work in kitten slaughterhouses, they're passing 30 new policies that deregulate the financial sector and repeal laws that limit corporate power, which our illiterate population ignores because it's boring.

Trans men are (or can be) biologically male. The best term to use for 'non-trans' men would be cisgender men. 'Biological' is the preferred term that bigots use to spread misinformation and insinuate that trans people aren't real, natural, or equal.

Someone else said it pretty well:

Biological sex is a construct. It is based on the observable traits of:

• Primary sexual characteristics

• Secondary sexual characeristics

• Gonadal Sex

• Chromosomal Sex

A fully medically transitioned trans person usually matches a majority of these, so it is totally reasonable to say trans women are biologically female, and trans men are biologically male. Generally, the binary categorization of sex is scientifically unsound; it should be understood as a spectrum.
