Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

There is no "waiver" to the trans military ban.
The only waiver is for people who have NEVER attempted to transition, who have remained closeted, and will continue to remain closeted.
That's not a waiver for trans people in the military. It's a waiver for people who are suspected of being trans.
