UPDATE: a dishonorable action from a dishonorable administration. Department of Defense publishes guidance on transgender military ban.
President Trump is trying to remove a whole class of people from military service, undermine our national defense and readiness and harm the lives of thousands of service members and their families — some of whom are proud members of the Human Rights Campaign.
Transgender Americans have already been serving in American forces for years. Banning transgender patriots from openly serving their country — in the name of waging a false battle against “gender ideology” — is cruel and discriminatory. PLUS, military officials, bipartisan lawmakers and national security experts have warned that the ban will harm our military readiness at a time of great peril in the world.
