Happy Veterans Day (happy birthday Marines!) did you know that THOSE Vending Machines is owned and operated by disabled veterans? It’s true. Jeff served in the USMC for 13 years and I was one of the first females they allowed to have a job in combat arms. 💥 One of the reasons I’m so proud of our service is because we took our oath of enlistment to heart: I joined out of a desire to protect our freedoms as Americans and that meant all. To protect your right to burn a flag or have an abortion or be a furry in a corporate environment. So it pi**es me off that our children who both happen to be trans have to worry about their freedoms being stripped away. Especially by a bunch of sloppy misogynist politicians. Being a veteran is polarizing today because so many veterans support those same people who are stripping us of our rights. But personally? We’ve given too much of ourselves including our health to have that happen. We will continue to fight for our LGBTQ community. F**k transphobia. F**k racism. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
