Pete Hegseth ends decorated Navy doctor's career after she was targeted by online trolls
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.

Each time the voters choose to regress with this trash, and they wonder why things get worse, but will pick the maga trash again and still in many places, regressing continuously. They never figure it out, always stuck in dualism, sad when the answers are available to all and they keep failing the tests.
That seems pretty cut and dry as a sex discrimination based termination. Of course this admin will magically handwave away any consequences of violating protected class status.
More tax payer money going to pay out for these lawsuits. I wish they'd take his money instead.
This administration: how can property be a protected class? Case closed.
chaya raichik is a blight on humanity. imagine failing at real estate so hard you have to turn to internet trolling as a career option.
hegseth, that armpit stain in human form would likely have followed the same trajectory had trump not intervened.
i hope dr. marra ends up somewhere that values her.
Another mediocre ‘manly’ man doing god’s work against women
"mediocre" is too kind to describe him.
Good. Only cis white males should participate and die for the United States terror forces.
It's kinda too bad Hegseth didn't just join the Marines. In some ways, I guess he is a byproduct of the forever wars.
I guess it's either that, or he's got some fat stacks waiting for him in Moscow. At this point, the US has basically handed the middle east to Iran, retreated out of Europe and Asia.
I'm not too sure how long Europe will put up with a non-productive colony. Assuming that Putin is not able to crack them as well.
It looks like the world is in for a rough couple of decades.
This guy is such an absolute asshole.
This guy is a flaming bag of hateful shit. There are plenty of people out there like this. Do not forget who put him there and who enables him. There is even greater evil at play. Remove the head and the body will fall.
Doesn't work that way, major peter. Can't just fire a commander with a tweet, dumbass.
Welcome to fascism. You really think it's just going to end in 2029? Bullshit. It's our lives now.
Fuck your defeatist attitude I downvote bullshit like this to hell
Down you go. Go spread this shit on lie social the rest of got work to do
