    Findings indicate greater heterogeneity in support for transgender service between heterosexual, LGB, and male- and female-identified service members. LGB and women service members reported the greatest support (81% and 75% respectively) while heterosexual and male service members indicated the lowest support of transgender service (56% and 62% respectively). Among racial/ethnic groups, Black and Latinx service members reported the highest support for transgender people serving (69% and 75% respectively) while 64% of white service members indicated their support. Despite some differences within these groups, the majority of participants in our sample (66%) indicated that they supported transgender people serving in the armed forces.

      Everyone enlisted gets treated like shit in the military, at least up until e-7. Age/gender/etc doesnt matter much if everyone is getting fucked roughly equally.

      There is a forced class consensus in the service, which is a hilariously unexpected consequence of making explicit “have/have not” roles.
