Yes, Joe Biden's decision to repeal Trump's ban on transgender people serving openly in the military will mean less fear and danger for those who have no better option.

But the best way to support trans people is still to ensure that everyone has a better option than enlisting in the military.

True liberation means abolishing all militaries. Institutions like the US military have always been used against those on the margins. The stronger they are, the less assured our own freedom will be.

From inclusion to resistance!

"Transgender people today are at a crossroads. Which side of the barricades will we be on? Will we be letting our commanding officer know which pronoun we prefer them to use as they order us to shoot tear gas canisters at our neighbors? Or will we be joining everyone who hungers for the freedom to determine our lives, our genders, our sexualities, and our futures together, as we see fit, outside the boxes offered to us by enlistment forms and cellblocks?"

From Inclusion to Resistance

Do we really want to legitimize the US military in return for inclusion in its ranks? How does this question sit in the decades-long history of LGBT struggles? And why is it coming up again today?
