Damn right. SPARTA led the way 2014-2016, showing how the trans ban was bad for military readiness.
Now with thousands serving honorably, it would be even worse. This is putting bigotry above country.

There is no more characteristic consumer experience in the 2020s than spending an hour on hold with “customer service” listening to some awful Muzak and being told by a recorded voice every 5 minutes how important your call is to the company and suggesting you try using the website you already tried
I have a crackpot theory that the inaccessibility of customer service for all goods and services is contributing significantly to the general sense of alienation and impotence and lack of community.
just when i seem to have figured out a way around the labyrinthine cvs phone tree, they seem to have switched it to voicemail only. absolute evil

Someday a Lifetime movie will be made about Cheryl Hines and it’ll go “I knew him as a Kennedy, an environmentalist, a man who decapitated a whale, a man riddled with worms who cheated on every woman he’s ever been with while saying he’s the worm man, but beyond all that? …there was a dark secret”
