We’ve *finally* convinced Lhila to start a GoFundMe during this time to help them with their upcoming house payments and bills. This was a difficult thing for her to do. The biggest concern is that she won’t even get the separation pay she’s been promised. Any help whatsoever is appreciated!

Unfortunately, it’s a slippery slope kinda thing. If they can get away with this, and there’s no uproar— just imagine what they’ll do next. I love and care about my friend, but I’m also worried for many other groups of people.

Hey folks- thank you so much for sharing and boosting this post. Here’s more of Lhila’s story in NBC News tonight!

She messaged you on Bluesky. Please check your messages here for better ways to communicate with her. Thanks again for picking this up!

Having trouble using alt text on here, so I’ve used this site to do a full text transcript. Let me know if you’re having trouble using it.

Sorry! One moment, let me get that for you ❤️

For the next person who asks “why should I care about a bootlicker” and decides to block me after I make a thoughtful reply:

they can take away benefits from anyone. Next will be other LGB+ members, POC, women, and other “undesirables” who don’t fit their christian cis-male agenda.

What’s more is that these people are losing the benefits they signed up for. The US military has historically targeted poor folks for enlistment by dangling free education and home loans in front of their faces. This is also a part of the class fight. If they can take away benefits from trans folks

Even you could be denied benefits one day through the VA just being trans, even though you’ve served.

I may not agree with how the military has been / is used, but I wholeheartedly believe that our country should honor its commitments to people who are serving and who have served.

Because pretty soon it won’t just be trans in the military. It’ll be trans in federal government positions, trans in courtrooms, trans in public service, trans in the classrooms, trans in healthcare… & so on and so forth. They’re targeting military first bc there’s no recourse for active duty.

Thanks for posting! She is the vet in the Reddit post. She’s building her community on Twitch as a streamer who play various games and other social content.

Unfit for military = unfit for federal government work = unfit for courtrooms = unfit for teaching = ???

Being told that you’re “unfit for duty” is eerily similar to being told you’re “mentally ill”. How long before gen pop trans folks are deemed “unfit” for their chosen occupation? It’s all or nothing here, and this is just the beginning.

Hi Nicholas! I’ve forwarded your info to her. Thank you for reaching out!
