I designed flight controllers to detect pitot static probe failure under a military contract. That tech would have saved Air France 447.

but this shouldn't be a defence of the military, why was it develop under a military and not a civilian contract?

For many reasons, the most simple being that the most advanced aerospace research labs in the world are attached to USAF or NASA.

I hope you don't think I'm trying to fight you. I know there is a complex system and history involved, I'm saying it's time this stopped.

agree that it's time this stopped but that's something to work towards and not a standard applied backwards in time

but you understand why it makes me uncomfortable to use it as a defence of trans people. It implies that it needs to continue.

I disagree with that implication. Trans people need to be afforded full rights, even fucked up problematic ones.

"Denying trans people rights" is hardly an incremental step towards dismantling the system.

I have a problem with people saying "trans people should be in the military cause look at all of the good things that have come from it"

trans people should be in the military until we decouple military research and civil service from defense and should continue doing good.

The problem is the *military* not *trans people.* Trans people should continue to do good things. We need more options than the military.

But denying trans people that chance isn't that. It's just fucking over trans people.
