Unless you're trans
Surprising number of people come out as trans in the military. The fucking Airforce has a shocking number of them. It's a very strange place that has a curious way of cracking your egg, despite what would seem to be a host of disincentives.
Might have something to do with the way the military has become a magnet for the technically savvy and experimental, because they've got such enormous stockpiles of hardware and (ahem) armies of people needed to engineer and maintain it all. The military is overflowing with broke smart people, stashed all over the mechanics bays and flight decks and logistics offices of its sprawling bureaucracy.
