    Wait are you telling me the “party of hate” is coming out with more discriminatory policies?

    I mean, they should get what they legally earned. My beliefs about them shouldn't change that fact

    Ha, did their duty for all those years, then what changed to make them suddenly unworthy of just general respect and the expectation that a contract is binding?

    Really, any military member or career govt employee should probably watch this.

    It’s rule of law type stuff, doesn’t really matter if they are trans. The trans issue is how they get certain folks to blindly go along with it due to hate. If the govt can short circuit whatever partial benefits they were supposed to have accrued in that 15-19 year career window, then they could do that to anyone in military or govt. 19 years? 29 years? 1 year away from retirement… oops too bad you get nothing. Who is to say they’d even stop at “early retirement” or partially vested people? I’m not even sure what a valid basis to steal someone’s retirement would be, other than in the case of military being discharged for serious crimes. They are basically treating these people like dishonorable discharge which is flatly disgusting.

    I really really want to believe you don't seriously mean this about trans people,
    especially those who have served in the military.

    You have to understand that Bill is not allowed to say anything negative against the administration
