The Harvard Trans Task Force (TTF) is circulating an online petition protesting the possible return of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps before the military allows trans-identified and intersex individuals to openly serve in the military.

As of yesterday afternoon, 93 people had signed the petition launched Friday and circulated over a number of student e-mail lists.

ROTC is not recognized by the University because "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"—which bars gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals from openly serving in the military—violates Harvard's anti-discrimination policy.
