Encrypted support request for active duty via About Face:

New anti trans tip line, please don't spam this with false and irrelevant information such that their lines get flooded:
52 libs who voted to give Trump the power to eliminate dissent:
Look kids, if you use unencrypted chat platforms for 99% of your life, that 1% of encrypted communication sticks out as mighty fishy.
@jeffowski @drakenblackknight Not all religions believe that, though. Many have no concept of hell.
Comrade, are you trans?
@AnthonyJK @bri_seven Jock straps are generally worn by men. Bras by women. Do I need to spell this out more for you?
