"In a report released today by the Palm Center — a research branch of San Fancisco State University's Department of Political Science focusing on gender, sexuality, and the military — a commission led by former U.S. surgeon general Dr. Joycelyn Elders declared there is "no compelling medical reason" for the military to continue its ban on transgender service members."

This is great news for all of us. Hopefully it will soon become policy.

I did some time in the Navy so I know how important this is for our military to move forward.
