This new bill, signed into law by President Joe Biden, includes a provision that limits access to gender-affirming care services for the children of people serving in the military.

    Better than picking disposable section of society to throw under the bus in the name of compromise, why do Trump’s work for him?

        “we just had to do whatever Trump wanted otherwise ‘regular folk’ might get affected slightly”

          You know, the “regular folks”, the military members without trans children. Not the weirdos who also serve but have kids who are trans. It would be really tragic if the regular folks were inconvenienced.

                I’m aware, but it’s still not vanishing overnight. We have had plenty of shutdowns in the past and this shit wasn’t urgent.

                I mean if the government shut down the US military doesn’t vanish, we’ve had many shutdowns in the past, this shit wasn’t urgent.

                  True. BUT… that doesn’t mean hurt doesn’t hurt.

                  It’s not a group that deserves sacrifice…

                    Not like those active duty servicemembers with trans kids. They’re a group that deserves to sacrifice, and in major ways that go beyond a delayed paycheck.
