I was deployed to Somalia, Panama, Desert Storm, Serbia, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan and other primo vacation spots. Even in combat zones we had to have 100% positive ID before any engagement. 100%. We make mistakes, yes, did we try to prevent the same mistakes? Yes. There’s a whole book about it.

Haven’t forgotten, haven’t forgiven.
This Trans Day of Remembrance, I remember Eden Knight. She passed away shortly after I came out in 2023, after being forcibly sent back to Saudi Arabia and detransitioned by her family. The funeral deadnamed and misgendered her. She was given no dignity, only hate.

If you’re at the point you are having to tell your military to not follow illegal orders to murder prominent political rivals I’m really not sure what to tell you except things are going to get far far scarier than most people really understand at the moment.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

2) Until GE 2029, their supporters will continue to claim it's early days, they were dealt a bad hand, can't trust the polls etc. because the reality is too horrible to face up to
