According to the 72-page handbook, a transition will start when a military medical provider diagnoses that a transition is medically necessary. <\/p>\n
Transitioning troops then have to notify their commanders, and commanders have to 90 days to respond. Commanders will be able to take into consideration individual circumstances and military readiness, according to the handbook.<\/p>\n
In order to change their gender in the Pentagon\u2019s personnel system, troops will have to have a birth certificate, court order or U.S. passport that reflects their gender identity, according to the handbook.<\/p>\n
Once the military medical provider determines transition is complete, the service member will have to meet all the standards of their gender identity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The handbook emphasizes that there is no separate standard for transgendered troops, however;<\/p>\n
…if troops find they have difficulty meeting the standards of their birth gender during transition, commanders will be able to make exceptions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndividuals undergoing cross-sex hormone therapy may experience changes to their body shape and physical strength, which may have a notable effect on their ability to maintain standards,\u201d the guidebook says. \u201cIf that is the case, consult with the individual and the [military medical provider] as you would for any other service member with a medical condition affecting their ability to meet physical fitness standards.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So, there is no separate standard, unless commanders don’t want to keep their jobs. Here, sort out the uniform and grooming standards, I can’t translate social justice warrior to English;<\/p>\n
Military Personnel Uniform and Grooming Standards<\/p>\n
Exceptions for uniform and grooming standards may be considered per your Service\u2019s policy. You may consider current and preferred gender uniforms, form, fit and\/or function, the Service member\u2019s professional military image, as well as impact on unit cohesion and good order and discipline. If you have questions, refer to your SCCC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Deployment questions?<\/p>\n
Deployment<\/p>\n
Service members will deploy if they are medically and otherwise qualified to do so. As with any Service member, exceptions may be considered by your Service and must be coordinated with the deployed commander, if unique medical needs exist. Individuals requiring close monitoring or ongoing care may not be available for deployment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It’s beginning to look like every day in the military will revolve around how the transgendered people feel on a given day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
