The US Navy has granted a waiver allowing a transgender service member to serve "in their preferred gender" for the first time since the military enacted a transgender ban.

"The acting Secretary of the Navy has approved a specific request for exemption related to military service by transgender persons and persons with gender dysphoria," Navy spokeswoman Lt. Brittany Stephens told CNN.

Stephens added that "this service member requested a waiver to serve in their preferred gender, to include obtaining a gender marker change in (the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System) and being allowed to adhere to standards associated with their preferred gender, such as uniforms and grooming."

So what did Trump accomplish with this policy?

It's not like there were ever hordes of trannies trying to get in.
Each occasional case will now get "waivers", right?

No wonder the Pentagon is saying we couldn’t win a war with China, our Navy is full of perverts.

Fricking navy has gone off the rails. It was bad enough when Iran captured a crew and filmed them sobbing. But the fact there was no repercussion to that shows cowardliness. I hope we never need them again.

If Klinger served today in a dress, he’d get a promotion, not a Section 8.

Soon the only things in this country that will be considered repugnant are being white of a (real) Christian.

US Navy grants first waiver for transgender service member to serve under their preferred gender

Check their DNA and let them serve under the results. Anything else does nothing to improve the effectiveness of the military. And that should be the first consideration.

So if I claim i'm a chicken, do I get exempt from the Draft?

It's way past the time we should have been violent about this attempt to twist reality.

No, he's not a f***ing woman. No. It doesn't matter if he thinks he is. No. The government should not recognize or condone insane mental cases in the armed services.

Furthermore I think these sick freaks need to be locked up in Asylums the way things were done back prior to the 1970s.

Still FraudCo’s Navy.

Including all his SEAL victims, The POS ineligible foreign enemy was able to do the most damage to that service branch.

He didn’t get the latter, in the show.

In order to get a Section 8 these days, he’d have to affirm his straightness and his religiosity.

Why should we expect any differently? Medical schools admit them AND offer full scholarships based on their significant mental illness of believing they are the opposite gender, even though one cannot trick DNA.
