In an action that seems almost normal in today’s topsy-turvy political climate, the president sent out tweets yesterday that again sparked anger and confusion among the transgender community.
The tweets, which apparently even caught the Secretary of Defense off-guard, announced that transgender people would be banned from serving in the military. Since the tweets were published, though, the chairman of the joint chiefs of the military Marine Gen. Joe Dunford has stated there will be “no modifications” to the military’s transgender policy, at least until any official word comes from the Secretary of Defense.
