I'm really saddened about the news that the U.S. government has banned transgender men and women from joining the military. This is wrong - it's highly un-American in my opinion - and I'm so sorry to everyone that identifies as transgender. I don't care if you wanted to join the military or not, if you are transgender, this is a horrible knock to your rights. I really want to do a post - or more - about this decisions. Whether you are transgender or not, American or not, please let me know if you want to share your thoughts. It doesn't have to be terribly long!

Ugh. What a fucking joke this administration continues to be. And why the heck is the impeachment taking so long?!
I agree, this ban is ridiculous, and it's sad that our country is taking so many steps backwards now.
I felt sick to my stomach with the news that came out of the US yesterday. Like you said, even if joining the military wasn't something a trans person wanted to do it's still such an awful message to send to them. I am still horrified that Donald Trump made it to presidency and can only hope that come next election people make a better decision.
As for these posts around the blogosphere - thank you for linking me! I love seeing more love for LGBTQIAP+ fiction around the place, it makes me happy :)
He's a raging nutjob IMO and dangerous to boot. He just genuinely has no regard for anyone that isn't white, male and rich. UGH.
It is so horrible! I can't even stand it.
I hadn't heard that ban actually went through :(. I am sorry to hear that. I might check out some of the posts you linked to, thanks.
