Part 4/9:
In this fictional scenario, General Millie insisted that at least 2,500 troops stay in Afghanistan to entertain the Taliban with a “synchronized dance routine—more gay,” as a gesture of support for transgender rights and anti-racism, aiming to “atone for generations of systemic American racism.” Millie’s bizarre reasoning was that this would make the Taliban understand that “trans women are women,” implying that such showiness could influence their brutal treatment of women and girls—an absurdity that underscores the satire.
