Military academies begin to follow transgender service ban, including the US Naval Academy, which will ban people who are transgender from attending the school beginning with the 2020 school year. - NBCOUT
April 18, 2019, 2:28 PM GMTThe elite academies that educate officers for the nation's armed forces have begun to implement the Trump administration's ban on transgender service members.
The Obama administration had lifted restrictions on transgender service members in 2016, allowing them to serve openly, and covered gender affirmation surgery.A current Naval Academy student, Midshipman Regan Kibby, is one of six service members suing the Trump administration over its ban. The Trump administration's new policy also bars future applicants who've been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition that can apply to people who identify as another gender and experience distress. Doctors say counseling, hormone therapy or surgery can lessen the anxiety.
The American Medical Association has blasted the administration's transgender policy for military service. It told The Associated Press last week that the new policy and its wording mischaracterize transgender people as having a"deficiency." The nation has five service academies. They include the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
