[06:37] IsambardPrince Gay, lesbian, and bisexual people can continue to serve in the military because of the Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2014, which repealed DADT and Article 125 of the UCMJ. [06:39] IsambardPrince Congress, in federal law, has clearly set down that trannies are not the same as gay and bisexual people. [06:40] IsambardPrince It is codified that gay and bisexual people can openly serve in the military. [06:40] IsambardPrince For trannies, that comes down to executive orders and DOD regulations. [06:41] IsambardPrince Within 6 months, the regulation can be changed to reclassify transgenders as mentally ill and then they can be given an "other than honorable" discharge, which basically means they are separated and don't get their military pension or veterans benefits (VA healthcare or college tuition) and may be barred from federal employment. [06:42] IsambardPrince Most of them who are eligible to leave on their own before this is finalized should just leave and take a separation that preserves those benefits.
