With shit like this going on, right-wingers who pretend it's the left censoring speech can fuck themselves sideways with a pineapple.

“a loss of trust and confidence in her ability to command,”

Then why are you still using HER fucking pronouns if they're such a fucking problem??

and her bio says she’s the “Navy deputy medical director for transgender healthcare.”

Oh I think I found the real thing they have an issue with. They just want to remove anyone who gives a single shit about things like quality healthcare.

And they wonder why people get shot in the neck.

Literal grammar Nazis

free speech? what a joke

it's absolutely fascinating how the current government does everything they possibly can to promote and reward literal witch hunts.

Lawsuit coming

Is that even possible for a military leader in this situation?

This is a terrible precedent, but I also think that this Medical Doctor will somehow land on her feet.

What a perverse world. Fired for being civil.

ZOMG! Not...pronouns! Will the scourge never end?!

When is somebody finally going to retaliate against Libs of TikTok?

Americans are brutally embarrassing and stupid.

Guess they have plenty of doctors in the Navy. Fuck em, then.

Everyday we inch closer to handmaids tale irl.

The upside to all of this right-wing censorship is that every time they do it they sell a bit of their claim to being subversive rebels pushing against a stodgy set of norms around speech and independence. Which, like, is a large part of what they've built their base on.

We're quickly getting back to that 90s era status quo of the right being whining church groups who don't want to see anyone gay on TV or hear anyone say things that they don't like politically. The result being that the left gets to look cool and subversive again, which swings the pendulum toward our side.

The biggest strategic mistake we ever made on the left was coming off as scolding moral purists. This is an opportunity to walk that back, and to reframe the push for our rights as rebellion. "I don't care what you think, I'm doing what I want" is a much stronger position than "let me tell you why what you say and do is immoral".

Assuming there's not more to this, it's horrifying 😳
