They will not be authorised to offer in “any capacity,” not in combat, not during support staff, not as translators, not as medics, not as doctors, not as nurses, not as mathematicians, not as engineers.

Tweets are not an executive order, nonetheless I’m certain an executive sequence will be issued. It was usually in a past decade that a Department of Defense began to concede out-and-proud gay, lesbian and bisexual people to offer plainly in a military. The emanate of transgender people portion – plainly or in a closet, as it were – has been a liquid conditions over that same time period, with former SecDef Chuck Hagel loosening a manners and regulations about use of plainly transgender people. Long story short, before today, transgender people could be recruited and offer plainly in any capacity, nonetheless they were expected to run into a official mess if they ever sought promotion.
As for Donald Trump’s tweets… yeah, he’s a contempible a–hole. we always suspicion that of all of his abominable stances, he was substantially going to be not-terrible on LGBT issues. we was wrong. To be fair, we knew he was wrong as shortly as he done Mike Pence his using mate. This thought is ALL Pence.
Some reactions:
