Uncharted Territory: Recent Naval Academy graduate's career stalled by Defense Department transgender policyhttp://www.capitalgazette.com/news/naval_academy/ph-ac-cn-transgender-usna-main-0626-20160626-story.htmlCapital Gazette/By Christina Jedra Contact Reporter 06/26/2016
"Alexandra Marberry should have gone to flight school in October, but the 2015 Naval Academy graduate never made it to Pensacola, Florida.
Instead, the 23-year-old aspiring aviator works as an administrative assistant in a windlowless office at the academy — in a male uniform.
Marberry is transgender. Her gender identity is different from the male body she was born into.
The Department of the Defense announced last year that it intends to allow transgender people to serve openly, and the Pentagon now plans to announce the repeal of its ban Friday."
