Canada's Trans Soldiers Aren't Just Allowed To Serve. They're Allowed To Pick Their Uniform

The Canadian Forces — which, under then-Prime Minister Jean Chrétien refused to join the U.S. and U.K. in sending troops into 2003's Iraq War — are revising guidelines for transgender soldiers. Which, in a concept foreign to American military officials, are allowed to serve! And while trans soldiers, sailors, and air force personnel are entitled to privacy, the new rules stipulate they must wear the uniform of their "target" gender, or the one they identify with. Not that the new regulations, sent to personnel via email, went over with everyone.
