Alright, there's not enough ancient warfare on my feed, so let's fix that.
Let's talk about how you raise a 'barbarian' army in places like pre-Roman Gaul and Spain!
After all, these non-state societies punched well above their weight in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC! 1/

It is genuinely quite irksome that they claim to be the evidence-based ones.
I know it's purely a propaganda strategy, but as someone who cares about evidence it's really galling!

They have not found a single confirmed case of a minor rushed through transition. Numerous surveys have found sub-5% regret rates. The UK's gender-clinic audit found years-long assessments and tiny detransition rates.
