Rep. Jim Banks is demanding answers from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy after the federal service academy enacted a policy allowing military service exemptions for midshipmen pursuing a gender transition.
The policy, which took effect on Oct. 13, treats medical gender transitions as it would other medical issues faced by midshipmen"that impact a student’s ability to matriculate, graduate and fulfill their service obligation." The academy also defines what it calls the"real life experience" phase of transition as the"phase in the gender transition process during which the student begins living socially in the gender role consistent with their self-identified gender," which is a"necessary precursor to certain medical procedures, including gender transition surgery."
Banks said that poses safety concerns for women who may not feel comfortable being recruited to a service academy that allows men to intrude in those spaces.
