  • Status is not correct "transgender people are banned from working in military, no matter the position."
  • Status is not correct "transgender people are banned from military i think"
  • Other "Openly transgender people, who have a diagnosis, can not serve in the millitary even during a war. Ass well as intersex people. I know that when you are 19 you are required to go to the millitary to get a ranking a, b, c, d… if you can serve in the millitary or do you have to serve during a war. People with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria get the worst category and are banned from serving even during a war"
