Yes, and "don't ask, don't tell" was always a bad idea. It was always a gateway - a stepping stone into increasing the levels of perversity into the military. Like how civil unions lead to queer marriages.
Not sure how long trannies could hide in the military.

And it will be again. The difference now is that if they get caught they will be discharged. There is no “test” which can be given to determine if one is a tranny.
Not really. Before Clinton the military asked before entry if you were a pervert. If you were you weren't allowed in. If you lied and they found out later you were a pervert, you were thrown out. That policy can be summarized as "if you're a pervert you're out.
Clinton's rule forbid the military from asking and the pervert was not required to confess, but if it came to light they could be thrown out. If they kept their mouth shut and didn't get caught they could stay, thus the nickname, "Don't ask, don't tell".
Just a fine point: people who are cross dressers (Transvestites) have been able to serve if they didn’t tell anyone.
Transgenders (people attempting to actually switch their gender either bureaucratically, hormonally, or surgically) have not, to my knowledge (before the Obama administration) been allowed to be openly transgender and serve.
“It’s always been “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
That’s the way it should remain. A person who is, say, gay, and wishes that fact to remain private, and does not allow it to interfere with his duties, shouldn’t be forced to reveal or lie about it on a questionnaire.
nothing wrong with don’t ask don’t tell, worked great
No it has not.
They used to ask back when I went through the enlistment process.
If they lied then if it became a problem they were quite properly punished for fraudulent enlistment on top of whatever else they had done.
