I work for the military. The only part of that community that regularly gets made fun of and shit on are the transformers. No one cares who’s packing who’s butt or tickling who’s bush. But dicks out in the female latrine is offensive.

Hey! They’re talking about me!

On paper, there’s no record that I was removed for being queer. There’s just an opaque charge of misconduct which was drummed up after a base commander saw me (identified as male at the time) wearing a skirt.

Being called “airman Klinger” for the next year while the JAG sat on my paperwork? It seemed pretty damn clear to me.
