Transgender Troops Serve In Silence

from alan.com

There is another version of ??don?t ask, don?t tell.?

As the military begins to embrace gays and lesbians, one group feels left out: transgender troops.

These men and women weren?t even a blip on the nation?s radar until former Navy SEAL Team 6 member Chris Beck revealed in a memoir released last month that he had become Kristin Beck, a woman [pictured]?

Another milestone in June: Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel seemed to sanction their service when he addressed a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride (LGBT) event at the Pentagon. But there was a catch: civilians can switch sexes and keep their defense jobs. Troops can?t. Unlike allies Great Britain, Israel and Canada, the U.S. military disqualifies transgender troops for health reasons.
