Transgender Airmen Can Now Seek Temporary Exemptions
« on: October 19, 2016, 11:20:13 pm »
U.S. airmen changing genders can now seek temporary exemptions from gender-specific physical fitness tests, uniform requirements and bathrooms, according to a new policy.

The Air Force detailed the changes in a guidance, "Air Force Policy Memorandum for In-Service Transition for Airmen Identifying as Transgender," released Oct. 6 by Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James and Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein.

"This is another step in allowing transgender Airmen to serve openly, receive medical care relating to gender transition and allow transgender individuals to join the Air Force," James said in the release. "Our strengths as a military are the quality and character of our people, and those things that make us unique are the same things that make us strong."
