WILL IT HAPPEN? | Trans veteran Maeve O'Connor of Dallas, left, thinks that lifting the ban on open military service by transgender people will be tricky, but it is doable. But Mickie Garrison, left, another local trans veteran, says she doesn't believe it will happen "for another 50 to 100 years."
