www.advocate.com BREAKING: DOJ denies existence of transgender people in stunning court filing defending Trump’s military ban

An attorney for the troops called it “part of the administration’s absurd attempt to purge highly skilled and dedicated service members simply because they are transgender.”

If transgender people don't exist, then exactly whom are they trying to kick out?
- men who don't look like Hulk Hogan in Suburban Commando.
  This is why you don't have inexperienced drunkards advising the president on military matters.
  
  hot dog skin, with hair of Doll.
- Transgender people.
  Don't think too much about it, it's meant to be nonsensical.

BREAKING: epstein files still not released.

Well I guess that's it then, that solves the trans issue a very pressing issue which needs absolute fixing unlike let's say the skyrocketing housing prices or the ever rising prices of groceries... yeah priority is people who are literally fewer than 1% of the global population and that if left the fuck alone normally statistically speaking cause no fucking issues.
Well now I can sleep better
- skyrocketing housing prices
  Oh no, it's worse than that:
  Home sales fall to lowest level since the financial crisis
  
  Yeah but that was 3 months ago. And prices are still going up so something's clearly fucky still. Needs a sharp jab to correct
  
  Well I mean, if you charge like 290k for a 90 sq meter 3 bedroom apartment then maybe... just maybe people don't have that kind of money if they're struggling as things are.
  What I mean is the French had a wonderful solution for this like 200 and something years ago with this amazing tool that gave you a nice haircut

Just like birds, I am told. I mean, these DOJ fuckwads identify as human, and I deny their existence, which makes it true.

next will be the rest the LGBTQ+ then it will be POCs.
- General purpose white people are going to be so mad when they aren't considered white supremacist enough to exist.
  
  trump will like purge LOYALISTs that are not "loyal" enough to him.
- El pueblo unido jamás será vencido
- Honestly, they should expedite this. Go ahead and make the US military all white men. See how well that works.

...the Native Americans had 9 genders, we are just continuing our white steamrolling over their land and beliefs...
- It’s important to talk about tribes and not just generalize to “Native Americans.” It’s like talking about “European” culture and implying that the French have the same culture as the Italians. Plains Indian culture ≠ Pueblo culture ≠ Salish culture ≠ Alaskan indigenous culture ≠ etc. Any generalization that flattens these groups to “Native American” is dicey at best.
  The Zuni have lhamana, like We’wha. The Choctaw and Chickasaw have hatukiklanna/hatukholba (pronounced/spelled slightly differently but closely related). The Cherokee have asegi. I’m just listing off the ones I know off the top of my head; research the tribes local to your neck of the woods and learn about what they have.
  Like I’m really mystified as to where your 9 is coming from. Also “had” - native Americans are still here ya know.
  
  With regards to culture, those generalizatios don't work at all. If you're talking about how white people treated them as one big group, then that makes more sense, but treatment did still vary a bit.
  
  That's a nice comment, good information.
  But like, the reason he generalises is probably because of the massive destruction of indigenous American culture that was perpetuated by European colonialism.
  Thus we are very ignorant of all of the cultures. Which saddens me greatly. (I love shows and movies which use the native languages and portray the cultures when they're actually done well. I wonder how right they got the Kanien'kéha language that they're supposedly speaking as Mohawks, you can hear some in This clip - weirdly to me it sounds sort of like garbled and nasal Estonian being spoken for some reason)
  You make a perfectly reasonable comparison that people rarely generalise to such a degree when it comes to Europe. But had like 95% of the culture and people's been erased and forcefully surpressed, then I think people would generalise to an extent. Not that it makes it okay in any way, just saying that ignorance is the cause of such generalisations usually.
  Which is why comments like yours are so great, bringing the info that we haven't found (or even looked for.)
  So keep up the good work! Thanks
- Only 9? Rookie numbers, but a good start. Also, probably varied wildly from group to group.
  
  Yeah, “Native Americans” is broad brush. There were so many tribes and cultures you can’t generalize like that.
- This administration also probably doesn't recognize them, nor their rights either.
  
  The government still doesn’t give a fuck about treaties.

I guess some of my friends are imaginary.

So, they recognize that how people identify is important? They just choose not to recognize what they identify as. That seems like it would open the door legally to force recognition of identity. IANAL.

that first guy is so hot

you can't ban what doesn't exist. How can they ban those people if they don't exists? If would be some interesting waffling on their part if they got sued along those lines of thought.
