Yes it's about how libs can only accept certain things as long as they come with the military, ie implicitly supporting imperialism. Someone posted a thread yesterday, I think, of libs fawning over Sikhs and Indians because they joined the military. Rather than just accepting them because they're human beings who deserve dignity and not to be harassed. It's "How dare you be racist towards a Sikh, they serve in the military don't you know!" They can't just refute racism on the grounds of it being racist. They can't refute transphobia the same way. It's gotta be attached to some support of the existing power structures, the particularly oppressive ones at that.
