Truly?
I think it is a nothing-burger.
The number of trans recruits at standard recruiting age is small to the point where one wonders what the win is.
Having said that, for the handful of qualified, trans recruits that are going to enter the system annually, they need to be treated fairly and with respect. The policy guidance as I read it addresses the possibility that recruiters apply their own personal beliefs to head off potential recruits that have transitioned, are in the process, or plan to do so. That is prudent guidance and the right thing to do.

Great response 1SG, and from my understanding we already have brothers and sisters who are already serving but hide their true self very well, and i can applaud them for that but they shouldn't have to.

My thoughts on the issue don't matter. I do what I'm told to do by higher. I will continue to follow lawful orders until I believe those orders compromise my morals and my Christian faith. At that time I'll prepare myself for the repercussions that are sure to follow.

....treat them like any other normal candidate, following established policy and guidelines concerning their Accession. Keep your personal feelings out of the equation, just like you would for any other candidate.
