Help Mira: A Transgender Sailor's Fight

Hey! My name is Mira. I'm a transgender sailor who's being kicked out due to the executive order "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness". I've served honorably for 8 years since the age of 18, featuring two deployments and a career of only exceptional evaluations. Apparently, that service, nor the service of my fellow trans service members, wasn't enough. I'm being forced out—not because I failed, but because the rules changed. Under the current administration's updated standards for "military excellence," my identity as a transgender woman has made me a target. I'm just looking for a little breathing room. If you're reading this, thank you for hearing me out. If you're able to help, thank you even more. And if you can't, please consider sharing this so it can reach someone who can.
