I don’t think I could flee, and using my brother as an example, I don’t think I will come out of this untraumatized. What can I do to lessen the impact?

      They assign it based on availability and my university degree/previous experience

      At best, I become the IT Guy at military, sparing me the worst, but this is mostly a fever dream since this position doesn’t require a lot of people

      I would have done this if I didn’t have conservative family members. I wish turkey wasn’t as conservative as it was right now

      what's a pink slip?

      The pink slip in turkey essentially means to publicly come out as a homosexual, therefore not being allowed into the military

    Here’s a question I dug into have an answer to: if you begin showing subtle but public support for a Kurdish state now, would that make it so they won’t send you to the front lines for fear you might resist from within? Could keep you away from the worst of it, if it doesn’t get you persecuted.
