The military makes me nervous, and is not a job I'd choose, but cordially, that's not the point, and not relevant or helpful for the people who've lost their careers with this announcement.

Agreed, and I'm sorry if it came off as though I was minimising things. Discrimination is discrimination any way we'd cut it, and this mindless erasure is nothing short of disgusting.

Grabbing silver linings wherever I can, to my mind this means lowered chances of trans people being sent to their deaths. At least through the military...
