@futurebird This is the only thing that has truly surprised me over the past few weeks: the huge nr. of people in authority (employers, military commanders, etc.) who've turned out to be asshole bigots who were only implementing DEIA bc [the law] policy forced them to. The instant the [law] policy vanished, so did their willingness to include disabled/non-white/non-male people.
It shouldn't surprise me. But it does. I thought DEIA was welcome bc it *is* better for everyone. Even the assholes.
