Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth joined forces with one of social media’s most vitriolic anti-trans campaigners last week to drum a Navy Commander out of the service over her support for transgender healthcare.
It was a one-two punch from Hegseth in service of the president’s crusade against “woke” ideology and transgender people in the federal government and American society at large.
In a post to X on Thursday, anti-LGBTQ+ activist Chaya Raichik – who writes under the name “Libs of TikTok” – maligned the Navy’s Dr. Janelle Marra by highlighting the words “she/her,” “Transgender Healthcare,” and “LGBTQ+ Health” on a screenshot of the doctor’s LinkedIn profile.
Apparently, those terms were evidence enough for Hegseth of the commander’s unfitness to serve.

Fuck your defeatist attitude I downvote bullshit like this to hell
Idiot. You think the people are going to rise up in revolution? They’re all too busy with their shitass jobs, crummy commutes, and TV. Americans are a bunch of egotistical couch potatoes. They couldn’t rebel against their city garbage commissioner, let alone a million-strong army. WE’RE BONED and any change will be through EVolution. We will have to let fascism burn out and I won’t be alive to see it.
I plan to resist by preserving what we have. Information, history, literature. The future generation that sees the end of this madness will need those things to rebuild.
