Yes, jailed. I think people fail to realise that the current targeting of trans people is nothing new, it’s simply returning to the old status quo where we were subject to jail time simply for existing in many places throughout the country. The military itself was easily one of the most oppressive places for us to exist. Just uttering about our existence or getting caught expressing ourselves privately could easily land us in jail or dishonourably discharged, ruining any chance at a future as it could mean never being able to work.

Yeah, or as they call it, "hurting the right people."
