    Leviticus 18:19

    but you shall love your neighbor as yourself*

    * unless they fall into one of the following categories: If they love someone who has the same sexual parts as themselves, if they have different skin color from yourself, or if they wear a dress while having a penis or pants while having a vagina"

      This kind of investment is actually a valuable and meaningful step forward in building a fascist regime. It’s money and time well spent if your goal is to disassemble democracy.

    Books are online, and who in the military is reading books about gender supplied by the military?

    Like it’s not good to remove access to knowledge, but I don’t feel like this is meaningful in any way.

    So racist books can stay but transphobic books have to go? Along with the transphilic books of course.

    I’m so glad my tax dollars are being spent to reduce the influence of gays and minorities on our military.

    There surely isn’t a better use of time or funds of the us military this very moment.
