It doesn't work like this in the US in part because some consider it illegal under the first and fourth amendments for the federal government to mandate identification. This also ties back into the early history of identification documents in the us that sparked a lot of outrage.

It's not a lifetime doc, it needs to get replaced every 10 years.

Almost 30 here I realized life the universe and everything was a chaotic mess held together by tacit agreement with the social contract in highschool. I expect most high schoolers who pay attention realize this. Middle school is where I'd say there might still be reverence for adults.

What? Either, you are attracted to men, women, both, no one, or any gender presentation, more or less. It's not a choice at all unless you are bi/pan. Pretty easy to make a choice since there isn't much of one to make.

I will grant that I did choose hetero, well what I perceived as hetero at the time relationships due to stigma. Being pan I had that choice. But I also grew out of giving a damn what anyone thought and just dated whomever I felt like in my early twenties.

It's not a choice of who to like, you like who you like for various reasons and just go for it, or limit your choices to be seen as normal and still pretty much just go for it minus the other parties you are interested in.

The only rationale I've seen consistently is that it's expensive to care for trans people.

I was in and diagnosed with gender dysphoria within about a week of Trump's initial tweet saying he was banning trans people. For about 2 months there it was a bit up in the air whether or not I'd get discharged or not. Ultimately was grandfathered in.

It's not an issue of hormones being available in the field, you can be deployed with a years supply no problem. That said the way the policy worked is you can't start HRT while deployed. (Presumably because of the increased burden of regular blood draws earlier on) If you were seeking to transition you needed the approval of your commanding officer, and that could be denied only if you were deployable and hadn't deployed yet.

There was also the option in there for your CO to basically grant you a year to go to college or something while transitioning to generally make integration smoother, so you wouldn't be stuck dealing with second puberty and regular military service at the same time. Though I have no idea if anyone actually got that. I know at least on person who didn't, or didn't take it anyway.

There's a bunch more nuance, rules, and tricky ways people got fucked over by their commands myself included. But at the end of the day, it really caused basically no problems overall while it was an option. And frankly if you can drag a CPAP machine on deployment trans people are less of a logistical nightmare and shouldn't make the top 10 of medical issues that actually might warrant discharge.

The importer, not the exporter pays tariffs. Aka Canada pays nothing, things made in Canada have an extra tax attached to them when they cross the boarder into the us, paid by Walmart or whomever ordered the goods

Lol, are you high? Republicans are the ones replicating blood lible but directed against immigrants. They are really he ones calling for and end to transgender ideology (Magnus Hearschfeld institute, look it up) like yeah Dems are little bitches for two stepping when Israel demands, but to say they are following Hitler is stupid when the Repubs are doing it step for step, and the Dems at least sometimes say no.
