After 17 years in the US Army, Maj Kara Corcoran, 39, was preparing to graduate from an elite military leadership programme.
But there was a complication.
Two days before the ceremony, Kara was told that she would need to conform to male regulations, which meant wearing male uniform and cutting the long blonde hair she had grown since she told the Army she identified as a woman in 2018.
The directive had come from the Pentagon, and filtered down through her chain of command at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
"Nothing about me is a man, but we're going to force me into male regs just so I can walk across the stage with my peers," she said in the hours leading up to the ceremony. "It's not my choice to cut my hair. I'm doing it because I have to."
Kara is one of several thousand transgender people affected by a ban, announced by US President Donald Trump in January, that prevents them from serving in any job in the US military.
Official figures say there are about 4,200 transgender service members in the US armed forces, however other estimates are much higher, at about 10,000.
The US Department of Defense declined to give a statement to the BBC but pointed to previous statements saying it was committed to treating all service members impacted by the policy with dignity and respect. A US defence official said that "characterisation of service will be honourable except where the service member's record otherwise warrants a lower characterisation".

MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE DON’T BELONG IN THE GOVERNMENT...ANYWHERE .....EVER!
Someone who can’t be trusted not to harm those with whom he/she/it serves, should be discharged from the military, unless the U.S. adopts Russian meat wave assault tactics.
It’s not enough to force this man to cut his hair and stop pretending to be a woman. He’s already proved to be Section 8 material. Discharge him.
OH MY GOSH!!
Uhm, wait.
Checking giva$hit meter.
Humm.
Apparently, I don’t care.
Folks can and will do what they want. Don’t ask for my tax money to do it. Selfishness doesn’t work in the military, which this is. Guess to certain folks, making others uncomfortable is okay. Special treatment is NOT equal treatment!
....however other estimates are much higher, at about 10,000.

I doubt it but that’s just based on my own observations. Anyone have actual data?
Does “Survival Mode” for such people mean they shove vibrators up their butts?
BBC News used the word “she” multiple times in the hopes that it would convince us that he is a “she.” Didn’t work.
However are they going to survive riding that administration desk… oh the humanity!
I bet there is! Even if you had your dangling parts removed, you are still a male.
Nothing but the chromosomes.
Chromosomes matter.
In this MAGA renaissance, it is all that matters.
Good!
No more of this BS in our military.
I bet the authors of this article and the tranny major had no hesitation about booting perfectly healthy soldiers out of the military with punitive articles and reenlistment ban codes for refusing to be part of a medical experiment just four years ago.
It seems every article like this is simply to throw pronouns in a virtue signaling manner. That tranny freak is no more a “she” than I am. And I am not. I don’t care about its military service. Everyone knows why they enlist. A problem that cannot be denied is that they cannot be deployed, and are therefore ineligible. Fire them all.
Bet “she” still has HIS postrate.
Wearing a ‘dress’ uniform just got a lot tougher.
I wouldn’t want that sick, unstable f**k in a fox hole with me.
