NYT article on Military Supporting Transgender Service Members
After some searching, I was able to find this article that I read in The New York Times a few months ago regarding transgender service members in the military. In class today I mentioned how in many ways the militarily as been fairly supportive of these soldiers--especially when compared to the current administration. The article explains how transgender service members generally are supported by their comrades and their commanding officer (often to a greater extent than by their own families and home communities). Anyway, I thought it was an interesting read that adds more texture to our conversation today. Let me know what you think!
