Actually I want to know if anyone can name one specific individual thing that's worse in terms of government policy between 1990 and 2020 and then seriously defend it We can start with healthcare

"Trans" wasn't an officially recognized category but pre-DADT you absolutely could just immediately get a general discharge for being trans, which itself was still a mild improvement from back in Vietnam when it would be a dishonorable discharge for perversion

you could! But the discharge was a medical one, not a federally-directed one, and it was considerably harder to vindictively weaponize than DADT.
