President-elect Joe Biden appointed a trans veteran to his Defense Department transition team signaling exactly what he thinks of Trump policies toward transgender service members. Shawn Skelly, Biden’s appointee, worked in a number of defense and transportation roles in the Obama administration and was the first transgender veteran appointed by a president in 2013, according to the N.Y. Daily News.
In contrast, Trump banned trans service members from the military. While the ban is still being battled in court, Biden has indicated he would overturn the ban that was previously overturned during the Obama administration. Her appointment indicates overturning Trump’s discriminatory policy is a priority.
Skelly is a Navy veteran and currently serves as vice president of Out in National Security, an employee resource group for national security professionals.
According to her Out in National Security biography, she served on active duty in the U.S. Navy for 20 years as a Naval Flight Officer, retiring with the rank of Commander. In the Obama administration, she first served as Special Assistant to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics at the U.S. Department of Defense, and ultimately as the Director of the Office of the Executive Secretariat at the U.S. Department of Transportation. In 2017, President Obama appointed Shawn to serve as a Commissioner on the newly established National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service.

Another example of the far left radicals pushing their trans agenda and gender confusion.
Amen! Our next generation will be so confused
I think there is a lot of irony that you use the term gender confusion in your statement. I seriously doubt that you have spent very much time examining your own relationship to your gender, Brandon. Maybe if you took some time to examine how gender affects you then you could understand that feeling at odds with your gender is actually a profoundly isolating experience full of suffering and hardship. There is nothing radical about affirming that some people have a more complicated relationship with gender than others. It’s just plain old empathy and kindness, which is exactly what Donald Trump and his groupies deeply lack.

It’s still a man wearing a wig. Check his chromosomes. That’s a man!
How can the USA put people so confused about their identity in sensitive positions?
How can the US government put a person so confused about its own identity in any sensitive position?
Totally agree! Trans is a mental defect and proof that someone is mentally unstable. Not sure they should be in a position of power over the USA
Not according to the DSM-V. It used to be, but more recent information has shown that treating gender dysphoria with gender-affirming treatments actually makes it better. Reparative (conversion) therapies do not. What is your training in mental health diagnosis? Have you ever read the DSM-V?
Likely, our next generation will have more tolerance than people such as yourself.
As a 30 year old man I have plenty of tolerance. Let’s hope that Americans can still have different opinions from one another in the next generation. I know no clue why gays are so intolerant when someone has an
Opposing view.
