Based on what data? Cuz I'm gonna wager you pulled that out of your a** to feel like you made some kind of point with your outburst, like... 14 hours ago, cyberome said: Nobody will give a damn when s#!t hits the fan and we are all fighting for resources... Wtf are you talking about? There is no looming shortage of resources that's going to plunge society into a Mad Max movie - capitalism manufactures scarcity, there isn't actual scarcity If you've paid ANY attention to Don't Ask Don't Tell, you'll know that the reason people were pushing to have it repealed is exactly because it was abused to make sure servicemen who were gay didn't receive benefits for their service that their straight counterparts received - this is what it's about - not people feeling special or whatever hateful garbage you're hung up on - it's about stopping the ruling class from taking advantage of people and their labour... But hey, if it sounds so unreasonable, why stop at trans people - lets revert equal treatment of people or color, or women, or people who are older or less physically apt - it's war after all, who cares if some get treated a little worse in the process, right? We'll all be fighting for recourses, might as well be a little racist and ableist in the process, Maslow's hierarchy of needs after all It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

For a lot of people it's the only opportunity they have to escape terrible home lives and hateful families. It also guarantees access to a college education and a lifetime of perks that only veterans and active service members get. Nothing about this is good. I 100000% gave a reactionary response, but also, we should talk about the predatory tactics the US military uses in signing minorities up and how unethical it is. Religion is a product to sell.
