ATTENTION TRANSGENDER SERVICE MEMBERS

[Chaunte]

From the National Center for Transgender Equality

As you know, Congress may repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) soon. But you should remember two things: 1) even if Congress votes to repeal the law, actual repeal is contingent on the Department of Defense (DoD) and the President taking some additional steps to finalize the change;  and 2) DADT only applies to service members who are gay, lesbian or bisexual-not to transgender service members.  Even if DADT is repealed, you can still be discharged for being transgender.

If repealed , they can and will ask if you are gay and use that answer to discharge you anyway. I still think repeal only is a mistake. At least now you can serve, just stay silent since they can not ask.
