    Imagine being so ready to blame a marginalized or oppressed group for anything you can that you don’t even check to see if the person you are blaming for piloting a helicopter in a crash with no survivors is alive or not. Just baffling.

      For the conservative the problem is that a trans Helo pilot exists.

      In their mind, a trans person is mentally unfit. Therefore holding a officer’s rank and pilot wings must be unearned. The catastrophe of a trans issuing orders to a het-cis is more outrageous than a few dozen deaths.

      Oh and the actual pilot was a woman so the DEI argument hasn’t be defeated, just shifted.
