Doublespeak
editThis memorandum is full of doublespeak. It states nobody will face adverse action based on gender identity on the one hand. On the other hand, it gives detailed denials of the rights of people who are at any stage of gender transition.--2601:C4:C080:81C:140B:12AE:393:7039 (talk) 20:11, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- That's not something we can do anything about. We just have to cite the sources we have.★Trekker (talk) 06:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Detransition
edit@2601:c4:c080:81c:341e:620f:174c:aa06: You keep adding to the lede The memorandum requires post-operative applicants to undo their transition to the sex with which they don't identify; furthermore, post-op applicants must live as members of that government-enforced sex for at least three years if they wish to serve in the Armed Forces.
The memorandum, as seen in the article's comparison table, disqualifies any applicant "with history of medical transition treatment". Therefore, the memorandum doesn't require any detransition of post-operatives as post-operatives are barred. Also, the term "government-enforced sex" with a link to the sexism article may be seen as a violation of WP:NPOV.

Okay. The wacky directive is super transphobic. So, if you cut off your penis, then you can't detransition by attaching a monkey's penis in its place to join the American military. The directive makes no sense.
If you can't join with any history of gender dysphoria, then the mentioning of 36 months in the birth sex is a moot point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1005:b003:a707:e15c:b656:2405:ff6b (talk • contribs) 16:16, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
Continued sexism
edit"Transgender Service members may consult with a military medical provider, receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and receive mental health counseling, but may not obtain a gender marker change or serve in their preferred gender."
- Even the language of DoDI 1300.28, September 4, 2020 is discriminatory. It is a reversal of DOD INSTRUCTION 1300.28 from 2016.--2601:C4:C300:1BD0:708E:2510:279C:4124 (talk) 16:36, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
