I hope you can stay safe through this. My state is pretty good to veterans, but I don’t think it would pick up the slack if federal funding is slashed.

I’m a 100% disabled veteran. Two years ago I made the very stupid decision to change my gender identity with the VA, and my therapist just informed me on Friday that I can’t change it back because it’s part of a diagnosis. I’m really worried that either of those things, or the fact that I’m getting a degree through chapter 31 will end in a reduction or revocation of my benefits. In addition, I’m going through the process of getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I’m really expensive for the VA right now.

Fun fact: ALS is more common in the veteran population

That one is national defense, and it was given for service during any war since 1953

I’m shocked Montana voted in only republicans, but allowed the right to abortion to be protected by the state constitution.

I should have put that in quotes to avoid confusion. I’ll edit :)

I’ve known (or dated) a few conservative men who refused to get vasectomies because they lower testosterone. And, of course that means they’re less of a man (to themselves and others who think that way).
