Lied and said he was non-verbal

Lied and said he was incapable of communication

Lied and said he had not gotten the surgery of his own accord

Got MGT to call a procedure done on a consenting adult "criminal" just because he had cerebral palsy

Mass reported his video and his account, which he ran, until facebook terminated his account for "child exploitation" despite it being his account, him being an adult, and him not being exploited

Ableism and transphobia are inseperable. Just like ableism was used to prop up bigotry throughout history, now it is being used to deny transgender people bodily autonomy the same way it is used to deny disabled people bodily autonomy. It's not a coincidence that so much of the rights transphobic rhetoric is focused on labelling us as "mentally ill". They don't think any disabled people, let alone mentally ill people should have independence or liberation.

Honestly, spot on. Mostly.

Some things I wanna correct:

Your contract is 8 years. It can be 2 years active, the rest reserve. It could be 8 active. It could be 1. You're still property until year 8 is over. Means you only have freedom of religion too.

Basic does brainwash you - it's designed to make you react unconsciously so that even in a blind panic you still take cover and engage the target. And that means you'll hear orders and respond accordingly, yeah. Cold War really made that cult mentality stick.

Obama got rid of recruiting bonuses, don't know if Trump brought them back. Given how shit retention rates are, probably.

Some jobs actually can't deploy! But unless you're a veterinarian, yeah you're at risk.

Reasons I would encourage someone to enlist:

The only other option is homelessness.
