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.

    THAT IS picking disposable sections of society to throw under the bus. What are you taking about?

      “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.

            There’s a lot more to the US government than just the military.

              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.

            Being smart about federal funding would be great. Your BS would be stupid.

              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.

                    Biden. Didn’t. Write. The. Bill.

                    I agree with you, but let’s take this as far as it goes. Biden vetoes and then what?

                    The Republicans in congress suddenly change? Where’s the reality other than “Biden refuses to sign, no one gets paid this Christmas”. Veto power is strategic not really a blunt tool.

                    This isn’t a Biden thing it’s on the GOP and the voters that put them there. Congress wrote the fucking bill why is that Biden’s fault?
