But the long deployments take a toll on the crews and Marines, who had planned for a normal rotation and are now months past their initial scheduled return home.

“You don’t sign up for an easy time, you know any deployment is going to be uncertain,” said Joe Plenzler, a retired Marine Corps officer. “But extending deployments like this, when it feels really open-ended, that starts to bleed into retention. How much more likely am I able to convince my family to do another enlistment and stick with it?”

I mean... for one thing, you can transition physically/hormonally/surgically and still be nonbinary (hello I am right here). for another, I just don't think that's an appropriate thing to say to a nonbinary person? I feel like if someone says they're nonbinary, it's flat-out not cool to say that they're gonna change eventually. even if you used to think you were nonbinary and then turned out not to be (which their bf did). it feels very much like the "you're gonna settle down and pick a side" thing ppl do to bisexuals all the time. and it might happen - ppl change identity labels and discover new things abt themselves all the time! but implying that someone being nonbinary is an impermanent state isn't awesome.
