How The Trump Administration's Transgender Troop Ban Is Affecting One Military Family
The Trump administration gave transgender service members a deadline to secure a medical diagnosis before the new ban took hold. But military families are struggling with the accelerated timeline.
Lt. Col. Bree "B" Fram left a doctor's office on April 2. Presenting that day as Bryan, the name given to them at birth, B should have been relieved.
"Overall, it's a good thing," said B. "It just didn't feel great to have to do it on someone else's timeline other than my own."
"It" was an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria. As a transgender member of the military, B had to secure the diagnosis by April 12 in order to continue serving openly.
