I am a proud cookie of the new counterculture & a beautiful old lady. Trans. She/Her. We happy trans humans just want to be able to live, love & work in peace.
We should be nicer to ourselves. The crap that we trans have to go through makes life like that old tv show, Time Tunnel, where you can’t control what year you come out in & no matter when you come out, you still have to deal with some horrible crisis that only you can solve ✌🏻❤️
🧵 I’m sorry that I criticize Oregon & our lovely city by the volcanoes. I wasn’t this hard on SF though they may have deserved it more. I knew SF was oriented toward the rich so not being helped there should have been expected. Here, though, it’s like my heart is being broken…
I’m not ever gonna stop. I will make it my life’s mission to make sure every parent knows that the #USArmy would rather rape a soldier than pay them disability. The Honorable discharge paper w/ Service Connected disability I received at separation? Toilet paper the VA shits on 😔
2021 minus 1986 plus #republicans equals what? Please show your work*.
*The answer is somewhere between the fall of the Republic around the year 0 & the 1850s where capitalism had free workers to exploit via slavery 😔
Um, it’s 1986 & the @USArmy has opened the door to women in the ranks. Just one problem, women aren’t wanted in the Army. It’s a boys club. How did they make their displeasure known? Rape, rape & more rape. Plus, they went (f-word) hunting. What’s changed today? Nothing 🤦♀️

Sir @BarackObama You & the Speaker tried to get the VA to follow the law. They did not. Can you do anything to help pass the Military Justice Improvement Act? What about doubling the funding to the @DeptVetAffairs & implementing the #JustShowYourVetCard plan? United We Stand 🙏
Sir, @POTUS Veterans need you to have our backs too. “"To all transgender Americans watching at home, especially the young people: you're so brave. I want you to know your president has your back." President Biden, speech to joint session of Congress, April 28” United We Stand 🙏
Parts are not parts when my great Uncle would wake up screaming from the pain of losing a limb in the War to end all wars. There were, of course, more wars 🤦♀️
Yes. The pain gets so bad that I start sweating, then I’m crying or screaming. I yell at the @USArmy that has no honor. I yell at the spook who is either dead, protected or too cowardly to show his face. I watched you drive up. I was behind you & could have swatted you like a fly
🧵 What drives me nuts is how corruption infects everything. My partner believes in people. She just can’t understand that a (t-word) could be hated so much to not get help when the law clearly states I should be helped. In an ideal world? I would’ve been helped at separation.
Those flashbacks began in the 1st sergeants office while he was threatening me w/ charges for fighting back against the #USArmy rapist. I often wish that he had killed me but my beloved needed me a long time ago so I guess God kept me alive for her. Too bad I can’t help her now.
It was a poorly run shop but highly effective at destroying soldiers lives before the VA ever had a chance to start screaming, “not a real vet”. Um, I also finally figured out what the recruiter did. Parents, don’t let your kids join the @USArmy 🤦♀️
I would have thought that you would have reached your bottom by now. More evil you want to do first? How many more soldiers will die because you collude w/ the VA to save disability dollars for Richie Rich tax cuts? 🤷♀️
I can’t help you, @USArmy. I will do what God says to honor the family of my birth & my newer family, the #LGBTQ+ family. My family serves & is raped for it. My family serves & loses limbs for it. My family serves & loses their minds for it. My family serves & dies for it. All we
Here are the details for anyone who wants to call their representatives to voice your support for this bill. As a nation, we can do a better job of protecting those who protect us. They have our backs. We need to have theirs 🇺🇸

Or irrational institutional transmisogyny.
Or the desire to give all the money to the Richie Riches.
Or blah blah blah, not a real vet.
When the @USArmy said I would get all benefits due to me under law, they lied. There is no honor among thieves stealing from vets for tax cuts.
I recommended to both the Speaker & the Senator that the VA needs to have their funding doubled. Doubled. I can see the forest for the trees. I am not blinded by fake #republican fears of imaginary lawsuits. I want veterans to get the best care possible. #JustShowYourVetCard

Without repentance, there is no forgiveness. When an institution can’t even admit what happened despite being insulated from any real world consequences, do they really think that absolves them of their duty to serve vets? They owe all of us raped #veterans an apology. A big one.
