My Navy is now granting waivers for mental illness, for no particular reason I can see. I suppose collisions at sea due to criminal overtasking, Kangaroo Courts with dirty prosecutors and NCIS agents, and ships-of-the-line at pier side due to COVID-19 weren’t enough to crush the morale of the Sailors, so now we have this.<\/p>\n

Navy grants first waiver allowing transgender officer to remain in uniform<\/h3>\n

J.D. Simkins<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. Navy granted its first waiver this week that will allow a transgender service member to continue serving despite a 2019 policy that would have seen the sailor discharged.<\/p>\n

The naval officer, identified in the case as Jane Doe, served nearly 10 years in uniform as a surface warfare officer before being confronted with the likelihood of being kicked out under the new rules.<\/p>\n

Doe filed her complaint \u2014 Lt. Jane Doe v. Mark T. Esper \u2014 in March in Massachusetts federal district court, with representation coming from the GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR).<\/p>\n

According to the members of her legal team, Doe first came out as transgender after being diagnosed with gender dysphoria in June 2019. The new guidelines, however, went into effect in April 2019, leaving Doe without protection under the policy\u2019s grandfather clause.<\/p>\n

Under the current arrangement, military personnel who joined any branch \u201cin their preferred gender or were diagnosed with gender dysphoria before the 2018 policy takes effect are exempt from the new policy and may serve in their preferred gender,\u201d the Defense Department\u2019s guidelines state.<\/p>\n

The new policy was put into effect on the heels of a 2017 tweet from President Donald Trump that declared the military would no longer allow \u201ctransgender individuals to serve in any capacity,\u201d a decision, the president wrote, came after \u201cconsultation with my Generals.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
