      funny how the ban isn’t about medication but gender instead. weird how things just coincidentally happen

      The problem is that it’s a blanket ban (plus retroactive firing) of all trans people serving in the military, not just an asterisk on serving combat roles.

        For non combat roles the exclusion of Trans people is due to military leadership largely hating trans people

      While I’m very angry at the prejudice within the army, this does seem like an interesting aspect to it I hadn’t heard of before.

      But yeah, as someone else said, it sounds like it was not just to combat roles.

        Yeah for non combat roles excluding trans people is most likely just due to most of the military leadership hating trans people

      Tell that to the Trans solder that had to return early from a Deployment to get kicked out for doing his job while politically inconvienent.
